I ran mine at anywhere from .5-.7 depending on species, you want to have your boat run a little hot and then black box it down.

I have experimented between .575 and .650
for Springs i set at .605 which seems to get me the best results

Springs .610 ,coho .650 ,sockeye .670 Those ones seem to work on my boat.Don't be afraid to experiment. DAN

if your boat is putting out the proper electrical charge,
you don't really need it !
i have had issues with prior engines that the black box helped.
