Ronnie,

Congrats on hitting 500 hours, I would think less is better for resale, etc. I think you need to check the gauges or GPS becuase 46000 miles with 500 hours on the engine is an impressive 92 Knot average. Even if it was 4600 miles, it would be 9.2 knots for an average speed which still seems high considering trolling and ideling speed. Check to see if there is also in the owners manual a service spec at 500 hours so you don't void any warranty issues.

I hope you found those jigs you were looking for and the cod today.

Good Luck

Dave
