    Why not mount transducer well below waterline?

    not to mention, too far below the hull and the hydrodynamic forces when on-plane push the transducer up and make it useless.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    FWIW, I just threw out $300 of resin and Gel that kicked in their containers. Granted.......it's been in the 90s every day for the past 2 months. That part sucks

    New Y pipe

    I would look back their yourself and make sure its not the rubber exhaust hose and clamp. Having twins makes this a larger boat. is this a trailered boat or a moored boat? does the 10K include haul-out?

    first, you are looking at firing orders for a car, not your motor in a BOAT. assuming your motor has the distributor in the front to be a ford vs a GM (distributor in the back) Your 1994 OMC marinized Ford 302 should have the 351 cam, which means it would follow the 351 firing order vs the 302...

    Volvo penta 4.3 gxi rough running

    Yes. Check out Rinda Check that the fuel pressure is constant. Make sure the fuel pump is running. Neighbors '06 4.3GXI has a failed ECM. The fuel pump was studdering like Mel Tillis. ECM was sent in to Bob. Non- repairable.
