How does she sound? Ready for maiden voyage?

Started at manual recommended 1.5 turns out from seated on both low speed adjustment screws, but was very rough, shaky, hesitant.

Adjusted clockwise (lean), to about 3/4 turn out from seated. Video of that. Much smoother, minimal vibration, throttle response better and minimal RPM hang.

No high speed screws

Manual says do not test higher RPM unless boat is under load in water. I’m not sure if a tub of water counts as “in water”.

How would you get permanent tachometer and engine temp gauges up front at the dashboard?
