KA - thanks for your reply. The answers to your questions: 1)yes, the motor races AND the RPMs go up - I usually ease way back on the throttle and go back up slowly to find a comfortable speed. 2) It did not do this when we bought the boat in 2009. The gauge went out mid-summer in 2010 and I just waited to have if fixed where it was stored.

I understand it's common on Yamahas to have a factory installed "collar" on the motor for the trim made of plastic. Supposedly, it's common for the plastic to break and they replace it with a metal collar. That's what supposedly happened to my gauge last summer - plastic collar broke, replaced with metal.

By the way, yes lots of folks like to ride out front and I trim way down to accomodate the added weight in front. But this past weekend (and several previous ones), it's just my wife and I and she rides under the Bimini next to me, so it's very annoying to deal with this with no weight consideration up front.

Thanks for listening.
