Default SideWinder, latest winter mod.

OK, so I know that it may look well over the top, but anyone who has tried to take a plug out of a hot engine to check the colour from a Magnum 27 Sport twin installation will
know that is not an easy or nice thing to do.
So having taken our annual winter pilgrimage to Florida late last year and done yet another round of the “ go faster shops” here’s my latest solution
4 off AFR readout for real time engine monitoring under load ( gives the co-driver a sense of true involvement ) Jeff you can be part of the team !!next time your over! and in addition it might even work.
See the new panel on the port side beneath the chart plotter, look great in the dark when it’s all lit up but as yet untried on the water.

Spiffing install! Did you try it on the hose?

Not your knees or anyone else's will get close to that panel, trust me it is an optical illusion.

Not I have not tried them at all since we have fitted them, to busy giving it a polish ready for the local classic boat bike and car show at Lake Yard this last weekend.

Best of all she got a prize !!!! without having to get it wet, well the hull that is because it sure did rain.

Come on over Jeff the weathers just great this year, 2 months rain in one !

I think it's time to move the boats to Spain. Then you can be damn sure I'll come over and visit!
