No need for the GPS controlled fully automatic controller. Just get a four button controller for left, right, up and down which is a big upgrade from up and down individually for the tabs.

Yep. The MLC from lectrotabs is kind like a semi-auto, to me.

I have now a plenty of time with the auto controller. Auto is great to adjust list. I find myself turning auto off frequently in order to bury the bow more or for tow sports. I also enjoy auto adjusting for the list turning it back to manual and burying the bow more with the list corrected but of course I could correct the list on my own. Auto is great for lake crusing for everything else I find myself switching to manual so with that said I think the MLC is the way to go.

I wouldn't.
Just my 0.02

Well I guess the verdict is in, I'll go with the MLC. And as promised, since their shop is 40 miles from me, I'll take a tour and some pictures to post up here when I go pick them up!!!

I think I have good news everybody. @Bruce seems to be moving to Florida. Judging that all day today he has covered like 300 miles, at this paste he still be in Florida until Bimini 2019

Is there a yamaha specific kit for the lectrotabs?
I thought @Bruce had worked with them on his setup?
Debating on bigger boat asap or keep what i own with no debt and just start fixing up the little flaws everywhere.

Btw:
Installed wake wedge and started on lateral thruster and found i had some loose and missing bolts back there.
I would suggest checking it all.

Keep the boat. It looks real nice and it is in real good shape. Just find a way to better secure your tower and its components LOL

There isn't a "Yamaha Specific" kit, but there's a couple REALLY good threads here on them, or if you call them they know what the "Swatski Model" is lol just mention the forum, they also still have Bruce's setup on file. I'm getting the Swatski version.

funny! All kidding aside though, those work excellent! I find myself using the tabs virtually every time we go out.

Great shots @Rana Thank you for posting.

We are home. I believe we are the last of the July group to make it home.

 

[rsrlegends]

I thought this summed up our trip. Spent a couple afternoons at this deserted beach area with @Dochapel and friends...

 

[Betik]

Apparently sargass weed has made national news. I was listening NPR in the way home and they were saying that this years it has become a major headache for Miami

 

[Berrie]

And the troubleshooting begins.
With the steam at the end i think i can conclude she’s definitely running hot...

BTW the dip in rpm is the protective limp mode that indicates something is awry.

It’s not a new engine, they just got serviced and new manifolds and risers. It ran fine before it was serviced.....

Check your Raw water impeller.
