Narrative:
On departure from runway 24 I had the flight director set to LNAV and pitch 15 degrees. After takeoff the LNAV was captured and at 500 ft AGL I went to VNAV. I had the asel set to 1500 ft initially and changed it to 2000 ft. I'm not sure if this caused the VNAV to disengage but the net result was that I inadvertently climbed to 1700 ft MSL between wentz and tasca. When we changed over to departure he gave me a 240 degree heading and climb to 10;000 ft. He did not mention the altitude deviation. In hindsight I was hand-flying at the time and should have engaged the autopilot and left the asel at 1500 ft to avoid this type of error in the future.
