    Hot Foot For 200 HP Merc V/8 #2b697990

    Does the new v8 require a special Hot Foot compaired to old Opti Max? I am not getting enough RPMs on new boat.

    +1... some older style hotfoots do not have adequate throw. Also VERY critical that the idle stop be set and spring pressure be set to bring hotfoot back as far as consistently possible (to the IDLE stop).
