do you feel any difference in the way the boat reacts between left and right turns? That's actually another area you can play around with, where the pump bolts to the insert. Add a little glass on that side to straighten it out and while you're at it, acc some to the top for a little more down angle.
Oh crap, I might have opened up another can of worms

My boat alway has run its fastest, when you give it just a hair of right turn on the wheel. prolly 2 mph or so, its kind of like the sweet spot, LOL! But...first things first. Im thinking if my harmonic vibration disappears, I will prolly pick up a few rpm's. the whole drivetrain should be much happier and run smoother. We will leave it at that till I test next week. Maybe after Shasta I'll try playing around with configuration a little. I'm also moving my motor back about an Inch. It seemed to set on the pump better at that point.

Does that mean we are going fishing?

I'm always up for some fishing!

I am pretty good at fishing, it is the catching that I have problems with.

should've tossed a line out at Rollins, the bite was on pretty good right where we were camping.

I didn't bring any equipment and didn't even have my license at that point. I do now but still haven't used it.

You're supposed to have a fishing gear that stays in the motorhome....sheesh, do I have to inform you on everything?

here's something for you, even mentions your name in it-

I actually just took up bow fishing... kind of a waste though because I don't like to eat fish... but then again the only thing I see are gar and everyone is happy when you kill a couple of those.
