    That prop should be real close for this setup.

    Do you have a jackplate installed, or are you mounted direct to transom?

    First things first: Need a RELIABLE tach figure. Strongly recommend either a Smartcraft Instrument/Display, OR the Smartcraft Connect MOBILE. That will give you dead-nuts accurate data straight from the PCM.

    It does have a backplate and one power pole. Both were on there when I bought it. I bought it with four hrs on it. I was about to buy that mobile smart gauge thing but I’m not spending anymore money on it till I know what’s wrong. I’m seriously considering selling it. I have had it about four months and I have yet to be able to fish out of it because of all the issues. Most of those were minor but I don’t want to deal with trying to load it like it is. It’s a pain and I ain’t gettin any younger. I’m gonna see if the tech will let me go with him to the lake tomorrow when they lake test it. That way I can make sure he sees what I’m seeing and he can’t come back and say “we couldn’t duplicate the issue”. I can’t handle hearing that again.
