    BF225 Idle Speed

    I have a 22' Grady with aforementioned engine, and the trolling speed in gear is too fast (3 mph, would like 1-1.5 mph). Idle is otherwise in specs both neutral and in gear. Is there a way to slow down the motor idle to a point that it will just run in gear? :/

    North American S-22 Offshore

    Looking at a hull for rebuild/repower. Any current/former owners like to comment on the hull? Anyone know the fuel tank(s) capacity? Basic hull weight with power? Recommended power? Anyone know an active dealer who may have handled North American when they were still in business? Bueller?

    NFB Steering ...

    Had a rotary NFB steering recently installed. It's tight to the point of needing two hands on occasion to turn it, but the mech says that's because it's NFB. I always thought NFB came from a "clutch", not compression. Any thoughts? :(
