    The Laser II works good on that 4 cylinder motor. I had a 24P on my TR176 with the 125 motor and was running lower 50's.

    Got my rpm gauge fixed today so i will know my max rpms at full throttle...also would adding a jackplate to my setup be worth it...?...And that laser 2 is what i will probably go with

    Kerry this won't answer your question but as an fyi there is a plate on your motor that has max RPM at WOT. Make sure you stay within this limit. It's possible to over rev your motor. Ignore if you already knew this.

    I think it was a T-H plate. I ordered it with the plate from Triton when I bought the boat.
