Quite so. But surely when you set up your engine you arranged it that tickover speed was such that you could cruise in control while barely moving? Otherwise, maybe you're overpropped? However, I do know what you mean about sometimes having to go into neutral to go slower yet. Luckily though, most boats with trad engines are heavy enough to keep course on a very low impetus speed for a very long time. But the 'kerchiefed guy I'm talking about didn't have any speed problem. He had an attitude problem. Steve > > > Dave > > > > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > > ------------------------------------ > > Yahoo!
