Hi Volks! I am quite pleased with the new engine packed for 4 for a 4 day trip with an aluminum15' bass boat running fine 60-65 mph but ran into 2 other issues. I noticed a clunk/click in the rear approximately every wheel revolution, I'm thinking cv joint going south will replace all 4 when I return home. The second issue is the temp gauge is no longer working with a puff of smoke that went with it? Everything else is working great. I got just short of 20 mpg fully loaded, may be better with appropriate psi in tires due to extra load, had 45 psi now with 65 in my load range D tires. thanks for any suggestions!
