okay guys... i took the ski out all day yesterday.. ive noticed a few things i wanna share and get your thoughts on..
first, my gps died so i couldnt get an accurate mph but my rpms were only hovering around 7900-maybe i hit 8000 once.. but from about 7750+ it was a pretty slow climb... around 80* air temp and water temp around 62* i wouldnt say i was in chop but it wasnt like glass for sure it was normal swells for a bay... i know we loose some rpms with higher water temp and air temp but is this, this normal??
second, my reverse lever is a little tight once its fully engaged in reverse to put it back in "drive".. i had to really put some UMMFFF into it for it to close.. again is this normal? i remember my buddies old fxho being tough but i dont remember it being this tough..
third, when i put my key onto the post 9 times out of 10 ill get the normal two beeps... the other time i get one long beep and i have to remove the key and put it back on... i would say maybe 3 out of those 9 times when i get the two beeps ill press the start button and it will only "click".. i have to wiggle the key on the post and sometimes it will start.. if not then i have to remove the key again and put it back on the post.. upwards of 2-3 times before itll actually start..
any thoughts??
