Shep:

No, we were not going WOT throttle from spot to spot. But, I did notice that he isn't real good about trimming the motor up when we are on the move. I told him that may be part of the problem is that he is "pushing" water like a barge when he isn't trimmed up probably on the move. He does trim it up when going at the higher speeds. But let's say moving from one spot to another just across the lake, he doesn't trim it up.

I'm not sure what the break in period is, but he still may just be on the tail end of it. He has been putting in X50 and now we have a full gas tank and full oil tank, he has set the trip meter so we know exactly what we are using for the next trip.
