First taste of Aussie water!
Boat performed almost flawlessly, other than me forgetting to tighten the lower exhaust coupler (filling the bildge with water!
), the dash speedo not working (is this a common fault?) and the engine needing a little throttle to start when hot (carb'?)...
These Four Winns hulls seem to handle the chop quite well!
Speedo tube issue is very common. I replaced mine with Perfect Pass... a GPS based speedo and cruise control. Search the internet, I think around $300 for a replacement unit without cruise is common.
Throttle on hot start.... still running winter gas maybe? I would wait until you've run a few tanks through before addressing this, but wouldn't hurt to check/replace your fuel filter and check pump pressure to be safe.
Glad to hear you are enjoying her... keep us in high spirits, as we may have snow tomorrow.
