Pelican-I think your diagnosis is spot on. The binnacle is tight to shift for sure. The motor even with the shift interrupt unplugged is still dying at idle. The motor seems to be firing on all 6 when running. Besides possibly having to raise the motor a notch, the motor once running sounds good. 2 observations on the Sceptre performance- having a light single on the transom and the cabin up front, really has an impressive CG for planning at low speed and the lay up on these Potter 23's allows the boat to be strong but quite efficient due to it not being overbuilt.
