Well... pulled her out of the garage yesterday. Hooked up the hose and turned the key... Such a SWEET sound to hear after 10 months of being parked. Got the clamps on the dash, waiting for the adhesive to cure. Should have the dash completed by this weekend. Only got to run once last summer with the new gauges in, and with the new addition, we may only get to run once or twice this summer. Maybe I'll have the time to attend to the smaller details.

So, this leads to a few questions.

1) Tach - is still not reading correctly. Both the original Faria and now the Gaffrig II are steady up to 2500 RPM... then they bounce between 2500-3500. Since the action is identical for both gauges, what should I check next?

2) Is it worth the cost and trouble of getting new risers to drop the weight on the V6? Also, I do not have thru-hull exhaust.

3) I noticed that when I engaged the drive that there is an ever so slight 'sching'. Is it possible that the prop is misaligned? What steps should I follow to correct this?

Any suggestions appreciated! :D

Thanks,

PS. Should have some photos in a week or so!
