Thanks all. I personally liked the Q jet. For those wondering, plug and play for me means very little need for additional parts accessories. Tuning is always necessary. Its a carb, it is as much science as a lost art of tuning.
My carb is physically damaged. I am debating going the Q jet...

My boat haa been sitting and recently discovered I need to replace my carburetor. Not rebuildable anymore for many reasons irrelevant to this thread.
I am curious about options to replace and any considerations. Many claimed...
Thanks for the advice so far. Those videos helped me with reassembly.
Does anyone know the part number or how to find the part number for the Power Piston spring? I can get a kit with many different spring sizes but I do not know which one is the right one. FYI - my rebuild kit didn't have one...

I am in the process of rebuilding my Quadrajet after having sat for 2 years. I have disassembled and soaked in cleaner and run through a ultrasonic. I am putting it back together and my kit does not have float specs.

I understand that it is necessary to add a waxed poly resin as the final layer of poly in a fiberglass job. I understand there are a handful of reasons why to do this. What I don't know is best way to do it with just core ingredients.
What is the appropriate recipe of the core components?

Has anyone ever tried converting the old layout of pre 90's runabout from the jump seat doghouse layout to a modern sundeck and bench configuration? Has anyone ever used pontoon furniture for this?
Obviously weight is a factor. I could replace wood with poly, hdpe or starboard where applicable...
Does anyone have a wring diagram for a 1989 Sea Ray 200BR? I have seen Quicksilver "pre-1989" diagrams that are similar but not the same. I am replacing the switches and adding a fuse block and bus bar. I am interested in the diagram of the switches and gauges. I can't seem to find what i need.
I opened my doghouse today and i noticed that my carb, fuel pump , and alternator pulley had what appears to be corrosion going on. I have a few questions:
Is this corrosion?
Can i simply clean it up and possibly seal?
How can I fix prevent?

Hello All,
I have an issue as stated in the topic: My engine will not accelerate past 2200 rpm, it also begins to misfire when idling under load. The misfire is that obvious intermittent shutter that can be felt. Here is my stats and progress so far:

Hello All,
I have been using this forum and the invaluable amounts of intel that it provides but have yet to post. I purchased a late 60's early 70's Mark Twain V Sonic Tri Hull with a Mercruiser 160 hp I6 motor but I simply call it the 165 because it is basically the same.
I bought this bad...
