    Relocating oil filter on a Mercruiser 5.7?

    make sure to use the correct oil bypass in the block. blocks come standard with an 11psi bypass, to run a remote oil filter, you need to swap to a 30psi bypass.

    Running Volvo Penta 4.3GL with outdrive removed?

    The rams won't go anywhere, even if you drive 3000 miles Your over thinking stuff getting into the bellows, unless you back into the water, just won't happen Other than making sure the boat is properly secured to the trailer, simply follow the speed limit and have working brakes on the trailer
