I was going to hold off on my prop update until I got the rest of my adjustments done according to your fantastic instructions, but I won't get to that for a while. I bought a new shift lever assembly that I need to put in first. We launched Tuesday with our new Indigo prop. There's definitely a lot less vibration in the tiller and throughout the boat. The engine sounds like it isn't working as hard. I now know I need to tighten the forward gizmo a notch since it would slip if I tried to go above about 5kts. My son was happy with the way it backed up. He said he had more control over it. Actually, he said something like, "Hey I can steer in reverse!" I post another update when I get the other jobs done.

Thanks for this forum and all the great advice.
