Thanks guys!
Nick - I do keep it up at Grand. I am on the North end of the lake in Woodard Hollow. I have had it out the last two weekends and it runs great.
I am having an issue with the Port Oil Pressure Gauge. Not sure if it is the sender, the gauge or if I am getting ready to lose the Port engine all together. When I first start the engine the Oil Pressure reads around 75-80 but the low oil pressure light is on.Then when running the oil pressure is all over the board and the light comes on and then off with out any regard to where the pressure is. It doesn't matter what RPM I run. It never reads zero but it gets below 20 which freaks me out pretty bad. Anyone else had this problem? I ordered new senders from CP Performance and am going to have them put on next week.
My other issue is the Props. I picked up some 28's from the boat city prop shop here in OKC last week and took them to the lake with me to find that the Port engine has a prop without a brass hub in it. I know I should have checked before ordering the prop - but I figured all Bravo's were the same. Live and learn I guess.
I think this is going to be a lot like Jet Boating - always working on something and trying to get the best overall performance possible! The never ending battle!
Any input you guys have will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
