opened up a hole in the cowl behind front cover. cut airbox down to let direct air in.

quoted from the guy helping me................ "See that?..... Best airbox mercury ever designed. Now take that cutting wheel and chop it in half!"

Running 27 srx. Not sure what rpm was at top end but by my calculation s I think around 7000 remember I'm running 2:1 gears. Gonna try some different props andddd heights but have zero complaints about setup now. Really dint want to turn any more rpms than that

Keep an eye on your plugs, more air without fuel can be a very bad thing!!!!
