    My comment above is IF you have owned the boat since new Replace lower shift cable and bellows. Replace gimbal bearing IF it doesn't feel silky smooth. Bellows kit and shift cable is under 300 If your having it done your looking about 1000

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    Looked at Odyssey warranty and they state the float must be between 13.5V to 13.8V otherwise damage can happen and warranty is void. Well I'm wondering how accurate my meters are and if it must be that accurate maybe I need to reconsider my standard go to Battery?

    I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!
