Erik,
Don't get too excited about the tachs and RPM difference. We have to use a box to convert the digital engine signal to the analog signal the somewhat antiquated Livorsi gauges will read. I hate to say they are all off. Get something to read smartcraft.
Next time you are out simply turn your head a bit and listen to the engines, bump the throttle on one up or back and listen for harmony. You don't need to stinkin' gauges......

Yeah just forget the gauges. Duck down under the windshield some to get wind out of your ears. Listen to engines going straight and move one throttle until they stop "warbling" (yes Steve... real aircraft term. Lol) you might have to adjust throttle cables some to get sticks to match. When guages go crazy just shut it off and restart. Don't worry too much about them, if a parameter is off you will get an alarm and certain faults will shut the engine down. Have fun and congrats on the purchase!!
I was hoping to see it next week when were back home.

Pat. I am looking into that vessel view digital gauge. Have u put one of those in a boat w analog gauges before? do all the gauges still work in conjunction w vessel view or do you hook it up instead of the AGI boxes. Maybe a stupid question but ur response to TDSTYG with the pic of where the smartcraft hook up is got me thinking.
