Why is nobody mentioning the obvious...at 280 degrees your buzzer alarms would be screaming. Are they going off? Take the ground off the gauge and check it with the motor running.

winterize or bilge heater

I will periodically use the bosght throught the Winter (except January and February). Is it necessary to winterize or can I get away with a bilge heater and running the boat once or twice a month?

Switch gearcases to make props turn out rather that inward

Thanks for the opinions everyone. I am starting to feel better about running 87 plus it has no ethanol since it is at the marina. We have a choice of 87 or 93 and 93 is damn near $4/gallon.

Thx for the feedback. I did not know if there was a certain point when too much trim (out) angle would affect the longevity of the drives. Mine seems to want to run nose down naturally anyway

How far out would you trim a 32 fever

Noob here! Ayone know the max you want to trim the drives out on a 32 Fountain with HP 500's at speed. I was thinking 3.5 or so just so the u-joints, etc are not compromised.
Gracias for feedback
