[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 321169, member: 6937"] Thanks for the compliments! And thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed some footage of the rivers in my area. It does sound awesome, no doubt about it, the 4 stroke purrs like a kitten at idle, but roars like a lion when you hit the throttle. You're right, salt water is some very corrosive stuff, but, it's where I live, so, I do a lot of running in salt water. The rivers are nice for giving the boat a good rinsing and flushing of fresh water. Anytime I run in salt, I make sure to thoroughly flush the engine, wash the boat and trailer as soon as I get home. That rocker switch is a "no-wake" switch. The Yamaha jetboats use them. It's tied in to the ECM, pressing and holding for 2-3 seconds activates the no-wake mode, by bringing the engine up from 1750 RPM to around 2400, and holds it steady at that setting, like a cruise control. Like cruise control, to de-activate, simply press the switch again, or hit the throttle. Nice feature for going through idle speed areas. [/QUOTE]
