    Fluke tabs

    Something fluky here. Starboard tab is way slower than the port side. Stb also sounds out of fluid. Don't Bennet tabs use a common tank and pump? I'm all :confused: over this. (at least it works,,, some) Any ideas as to what is wrong?

    thoughts on prop change (help please)

    slow down?

    18 ft. Parker, 5500 high RPM, 2.3 knots at idle 6 / 700 rpm, 130 hp Yamaha 2 stroke. Tooo fast at idle! I'd like to manuver & troll more slowly. Would a pitch change of 2 to 3 inches make much difference in slow speed, or just the high engine RPMs? Hole shots(?) seem sluggish right now too...

    I really need electronics help

    I'm wanting to pickup both a decent FF and GPS. However, the more I study into it the more confused I'm getting as to what I really need. Not to mention the new technology baffles me. Looking to rig out a 18' Parker CC. I doubt I'll be in anything over 100' of water. Mostly I'll be from shore...
