    Awesome, thanks for all the suggestions, I will definitely use them. Any photos that you have of your swim platform would be great to see.

    Shifter question?

    Lets hope what you say is true, Racerone, that is what I thought too, WOT says 4200 - 4600 on valve cover. I was only able to get 3800 with the cable being on the wrong arm. We will find out on Sunday 🤪

    Shifter question?

    Hello all, I recently replaced my OEM shifter / throttle controls and realized after I got it on the water that I had the F-N-R shifter on the wrong arm of the controls. basically backwards.

    Newman 203-I/O bowrider

    Yes it is intergrated, can only see the back of the tank from the engine compartment. The rest is under the floor so I can not get dimensions of it. 12 gallons is a pretty small tank isnt it?
