    Flushing tee for King Cobra

    I want to put a tee in the water inlet and I have a spare impeller housing without an impeller that I can install when starting at home. I need to make a 1" flushing tee which will be easy. I hate using muffs and would like to know if this will work without any issues.:confused: Thanks

    I'm going to pull a joke on kids..

    My adult kids 30 and 21 and grandson are joining us on the lake for a few days and nights next week. I going to make sure that we camp where there isn't any cell service so they cant tweet, text, facebook or call while we're out there. Then in the morning I'm going to tell them that the boat is...

    Boat Mechanics

    Over the last 10 months I have gained a lot of respect for boat (Marine) mechanics. If I were 30 years younger and know what I know now, I may have considered that for a career. I have this sick enjoyment of finding problems and trying to fix them. Thank you to the people here that have the same...

    Slight Cooling Leak

    Hooked up the muffs last night to check a few things, started it and got out to check the water flow out of the exhaust. Noticed more water from transom drain than exhaust. Shut it down and found water leaking from the solder joint on the oil cooler. When I was removing it I was pulling the hose...

    Nascar fuel injection

    Minimum 9V to start the car with the new setup and less than 9V delivered when cranking with 1 weak cell in a battery. A 16V charge applied from battery charger kills the ECM. Heard on XM 90 today that this is a problem with the new system. How will they fix this?

    Water flow issue

    Re: Water flow issue Not a huge amount but enough to be unacceptable. After using a 3' piece of 1/2" all thread rod and flushing them out, I capped both ends of the supply tubes and filled with iron-out solution. I got alot more orange fluid out when rinsing after the chemical soak. Not...

    Water flow issue

    Re: Water flow issue ] Yep, the OMC King Cobra AMH manual. I scanned the two pages from the manual but I guess that the files were too large so I couldn't upload them. I'll pull the impeller before it gets dark. When you mention air leak in the housing, do you mean impeller housing? New...

    Water flow issue

    I installed the new impeller cover, impeller liner and impeller coated in high Vis oil per the OMC manual. I had the muffs on and had my wife start it up (damn it sounds good) and after 10 seconds had her shut it down. No water out of the exhaust at prop. I pulled the t-stat housing and checked...

    What carb mods are required with .030 over and cam?

    I had my 454 bored .030 over and changed the (marine mild Rv?) camshaft. I have nothing to compare it too as the boat was seized at purchase. It would modulate the rpm upon throttle on the only trip out and I wonder if the stock Holley 750 should have the jets upsized for the changes. When...
