[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 402792, member: 13702"] Had to replace the throttle & shift cables & correct the sh!tty design for securing them that came factory on these motors. In doing so I had to pull the motor hood and cowling apart to get to the components, so it looked to be as good a time as any to repaint & put the new badges on the motor. The transom bracket will get sprayed once I pull the motor for the winter. I pulled the hydrofoil off in the process and I don't think it will be coming back. I tested it on the lake Sunday without the foil & I now top out at 27mph & change vs. 22 mph by myself before (both measured on the GPS on my humminbird 798). Hopefully that means I'm hitting 25mph with a guest (used to max at 20mph with the foil). No noticeable difference in bow rise on acceleration, though acceleration response is much better. Shame on me for not testing the boat before drilling holes in my cavitation plate. Before: [img]https://i.imgur.com/h5QUiyDl.jpg[/img] After: [img]https://i.imgur.com/wDJIaasl.jpg[/img] New throttle/shift cables are the proper length, steering cable is functional coiled around as is - though I will replace it in the future with a properly sized cable should it ever fail.
