My main issue is there's no real local yammy man around here. Closest is probably in rockhampton.

I thought there was a Yamaha dealer in Gladstone at the marina. Did they go bust while I have been off the water? Or actually were they a Honda dealer. Aaahhhh can't remember.

They sold up and the local mechanic bought in and made it a Honda dealer. Happened about 5 months ago if I recall.

Ah ok I know things change all the time. Hard to keep track.

Is there anything I should push for or keep an eye out for with the install??

I see some installs have a 10mm backing board between the transom and outboard, is this something that is used for thinner transoms or another purpose?

Any ideas on what's the best process to fill the old circular holes and fit the single multifunction gauge??

That is a good price.

Re the dash, Grandmarlin was installing some cool looking carbon fibre panels over the top and then installing the new gauges into that. The coupel I saw, looked really good.

just finished the test run and she's pushing 44knts at 5800 with 3pob and half a tank. Could have wound out more with a longer straight and if tallebudgera wasn't so shallow.

Very impressed with the service of the guys at marine tune they looked after me.

Fly by wire is dangerously responsive but I'll get used to it.

Now time for the reds

You can adjust the tension on the throttle stick with an allen key, it's in the manual. Great donk, you will love it. How good is the growl they give out ?

Re: 300hp Outboard Current Market Costs - .....

The growl is of another world mate . Too right
