Get you a microfiber towel and put it inside where your arm sits in it. Wore mine for 4 months. I now use the foam part for sighting in my rifles. Good luck and I feel your pain.

Thanks, to be fair it wasn't so much a healthcare issue rather a crappy insurance issue, company went cheap on it and you get what you pay for I guess. Chatham Orthopedics have been outstanding.

Need another 40 mins or so at 3000rpm and another hour at 4000 before I'll have any worth while numbers. unfortunately the weather this weekend doesn't look favorable I will say she's quiet, I was untying the boat and the wife said " wait I haven't got it started yet", me "it's running honey", her "oh"

Yep. The good news is I think they have it where the starter wont kick in if you turn the key when it's running. I hate that sound. It is really nice to be able to carry on a normal conversation while under way.

It is really nice to be able to carry on a normal conversation while under way. I still haven't figured everything out on mine.. I hope that's true but I'm not going to try it on purpose. Is it safe to start the motor before the long beep quits? I do that all the time and so far I don't think it's hurt anything... and why do they pee so long after shutting the motor down? The old Yamaha would quit peeing almost as soon as I shut it down... I think the Suzuki pees for a good 2 or 3 minutes after shutting down.

How is the new power doing? Might post up any numbers in the zuke section for us to look at? 41.6 mph @ 6200 rpm with some throttle left, trying a 21 pitch this weekend to see how that goes. Still need to raise the motor so that might change it again.
