... now you weigh less in the stern because of the battery switch and you might have to lower the outboard some to compensate. All boats are sensitive to a weight change of this size.

Take the prop in to get some additional cupping. It should provide better bite in the water AND it'll drop your RPM down as well.

Yep, send your prop, set up and performance numbers to Mark Croxton. He will fix you up.
