Don, I noticed that I had not reset the fuel on that GPS after I took the screen shot. Most of the time I spent on the water was to get all the electronics set up. I had reset the one unit and figured that it would reset the other because they are networked but that wasn't the case. The fuel burn is definitely improved and will get better as I get everything dialed in. I think the motor can come up a notch or two depending on what prop I settle on.
One thing I did notice is that the smaller tabs have reduced their effectiveness but they still plenty of trim. The big change is the huge difference in transom angle on the Hermco. I have so much angle the motor is at 60+% trim with the cavitation plate running level. This gives a lot more ability to trim with the motor if needed. It's a whole new boat with the familiar feel.
