Thanks for that info, seems we are both getting almost the same results from the engine. Will be interested with your SS prop results. I bought this engine and used it to re-power my Tornado 6.5 which used to have twin 75 2 stroke outboards. It's amazing, the performance in terms of top speed and acceleration is almost identical to the old OBMs despite the 65 kg weight increase. I opted for an aluminium prop as the vessel is kept afloat and I was keen to reduce the electrolysis issues.
As a matter of interest how is your steering? Mine is quite hard to straighten up after a medium turn at 30 knots plus. I find I really have to wait for the power steering to force the leg back towards midships?

Give your power steering reservoir a check. Low oil level will make the steering slow to respond and sometimes it will feel bumpy when turned. Just a thought.
Have you fitted the stainless steel prop yet, would be really interested to hear how it goes with the D3-160?

haven't sorted it yet, but let know as soon as i have. i haven't forgot the photos either, but i have forgotten to take the camera down to the boat the last ew times...
will try and sort the photos this weekend, but the ss prop will be a month or two away.
