ive been there and it didnt give me all the info it gave me some but i wanted some one that has personally had one or rode in one to help me out like i want plane out speed and top speed how many yubes could be pulled at onetime

another questioin about my outdrive i was wondering if it had to have water running through the outdrive or if it can be without water for running the motor out of the water as long as i have water pumping into the engine the gear lube part of the out drive is fine and full. help me out please

i'm not sure if merc. put an impeller in the lower unit as a pusher or not --your boat is new enough to have the water pump mntd. on the front of the motor-buuuuut,i never !! run a motor w/o water hook up--if their is a impeller in the lower unit , and no water--its toast in about ten seconds--ps --i just went back to read your orgl. post ,and YES you do have a impeller in the housing!soooooo no water noooooo run

just my thoughts,steven

I'm just going to take a wild guess that if you used a period or a comma here and there, you might get a few more replies.
Or maybe it's just me....:smt101
