"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."
The above comment you made was dead on. The original part, indeed was plastic and would break. The replacement part is metal, and kinda cheesie, simply put it's kinda NOT adjustable but you can bend it somewhat but it works. And, as someone else said, trim it down!!!!! It's time to "re-learn" your settings because the gauge is showing you different readings than before. Trust the actions of the boat NOT what you read on your gauge. I went through the exact same issue with PCAL when his boat was here. Should you want to chat about it, feel free to call me at 334-358-2838. i will explain to you where the "metal tab" is at, and how you may can get it to show you different readings.
Respectfully,
Steve
ps. The lake shop is caught up, so if you need something done asap let us know.
