Derek,
If I had every nickel I spent on fabricating ballast systems, pumps, hose, hose clamps,  barb fittings, sacks, switches, you name it, I could have bought three Hippo systems when they were around, and they indeed were the shizzle.

PP works. It works. I wakeboard with about four other people, every one of us has improved since I got the PP working. The wake is always the same height and width. You just have to have it right now. With the paddle wheel speedo. Don't piss around.

Heres the bracket.

Millimeters, I like it.

So Pete, have you thought of, can you help me think of, a place other than in the dash for the PP display? Is there a smaller gauge face that we could mount on the same surface as the throttle handle? I just really don't want to replace any of the dash gauges, ya know?

I can understand that, but the gauge does match. They have a bunch of different interface types, see the website. I pulled out my speedo, it's useless anyway. I still get a speed reading on the multifunction gauge.

I'm trying to find the RPM wire now, that'll finish the job.

Still would love Perfect Pass, would love to do a board to convert PP's servo control (pulse width modulated drive) to a varying DC voltage in order to drive the throttle electrically versus mechanically. The engine's throttle-by-wire and the specs are in the manual. But, you know, at this point in my life, just trying to figure out how to buy insurance and gas.
