canadasteve2

As I was breaking the engine in, I made sure I stayed below 2000 then 3000 then 4000 up to the 8 hour mark. 2000 first hour, 3000 next and then 4000 for the next 5. (I actually rarely put it above 3500 in that five hour period).
I did get it to 4000 RPM a few times however now that I have 8.2 hours on it, I simply CANNOT get it beyond a reading of 3600 RPM. However, when I get there, the darn boat says it is going 46MPH.
So, (1) either the engine computer is reving the boat LESS while engaging the transmission differently so that the boat is faster with less revs
or (2) the Tach or MPH gauge is off.
Anyone have a guess? I checked fluids (oil and tranny) and checks for leaves in water intake in the engine compartment. Is the tranny oil very clear? The tranny oil looked completely clear. Not red or pink at all. Maybe there is a problem?
(Note: I am canadasteve however once again my password is screwing up and even after I had it re-email me a new password, I still cannot log in..so I just created this canadasteve2
Thanks
Lastly, my depth reading only works "sometimes". Can it be plugged somewhere? It works when I go slow, but if I go past 10MPH, it reads "--"
