    can I use this pump with a hose attached to fill and drain a ballast bag?

    I picked up an old 900 lb launch pad bench ballast bag. Can I use something like this to fill and drain the bag...

    how to set up 1998 Ski Ray tournament inboard for wakeboarding

    I just picked up an old Launch Pad 900lb bag for $50. No pump. Is there a universal style pump that I can use to fill and drain the bag?

    Help me set up my new edelbrock 1409

    yeah 100 Yes 100%. The yellow fail safe fuel line was just laying on the intake.... Carb was corroded, linkage was all gummed up and jerry rigged etc.

    Help me set up my new edelbrock 1409

    It wouldn't run under 1000 rpm at idle, reaked like unburnt fuel, the guy jerry rigged the throttle connection so it was messed up. I'm thinking they probably messed with timing as well to get this combo of carb and spacers to run. Who knows what else they did so I'll check the timing first and...

    Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look into this once I have the new carb and timing dialed in. Hopefully this week!

    Ok can you talk me through the timing procedure on this motor? I just fired it up as is to make sure everything is good to go. She sounds good. One other question.... When I shut off the motor a stream of water kept coming out of the exhaust. Is that just the water pressure spinning the impeller...

    ok so I fired her up after the carb install and she lit up nicely. When I back off the throttle she idles at 600 rpms which seems a little low. Runs a little lumpy but stays running. What are the next steps? just adjust the idle up to 650 or so? I want it as dialed in as I can before it gets put...

    ok so I have the new 1409 carb bolted on. The way the avs2 carb was set up in neutral, the throttle cable doesn't match up so I adjusted the cable end to match the new carb. Is this the proper procedure? Just asking before I fire her up on the fake a lake

    how to set up 1998 Ski Ray tournament inboard for wakeboarding

    It's a direct drive inboard tournament boat and rare at that. It was very faint when I was under there yesterday but doing research a 13"x13" pitch is pretty popular for skiing and wakeboarding. I'll take a better look but here's a pic of the boat for reference

    so looks like I have a 13x13 prop? Does that make sense? Also this boat doesn't have an accessible ski locker. i've heard liek 2 750 lb bags in the rear and wake shaper and I'll have a surfable wave. Doing a carb swap now and then I'll be getting to the fun stuff soon hopefully

    Yes that will be the test when I get her in the water under load and no I don't want to go to wot in reverse unless I want a submarine. Without the wedge I'm more concerned with how it will perform out of the hole with a wakeboarder or skier on the back

    Help me set up my new edelbrock 1409

    this was my answer back yesterday but it didn't go through for some reason, "Ok I took a look it's a spread bore intake and that small spacer is the adapter to square bore. " So I think i'll try it with my the conversion spacer and see how she runs. The wedge is a discontinued item but I may...
