Here is the wide open throttle and max fuel economy. 45 mph @ 5300 rpms @ 1.9 mpg. Definitely slower than I thought I’d get.

I think I can do a little better on burn. 26 mph @ 3400 rpms @ 3.6 mpg.

Kmoose - Should I be looking at the 3 or 4 blade Bravo in what diameter? Will it help with cavitation in heaven seas and cornering?

Later in the weekend, The tabs were fixed, just a bad crimp. I hope the auto tabs are worth the money and effort.

Also as a side note... the Simrad NSS is awesome! I’m still trying to program it also. Trying to set up the 2 fuel tanks with the fluid level sensors. Shouldn’t be hard.
