I know what your talking about.
Looked at these when running with the Rev 4 props with my buddy watching as RPMs increased to WOT. Will compare with the new props
Wanted to take the boat out today and fill the tank with readings, but winds were up around 20 mph so if things work out I'll try...
Try putting 5 to 7 psi in and rotate the drive shaft. Also try to move it up/down/side to side to see if you loose pressure.

I don't have a wiring diagram for your exact model but do have one for GL-E which also uses the EST ignition. With the ALT not working...
