    Gas line size

    the additional restriction in the line may not effect performance initially, however it will shorten the life of the fuel pump. remember, going from .31" to .25" is a reduction in area of 33% (0.050 sq inches vs 0.075 sq inches) since the area is now 0.66 that it was, and the restriction goes...

    Mounting twin outboards to inflatable

    adding 2 20hp motors does a few things: it overly complicates your boat it adds unnecessary weight. not to mention that you will run into the tubes at certain angles of tilt and steering. having two motors does double the chances of something going wrong. I would just buy one of these, put...

    in high school, we used to take a pencil and draw a line on the inside of a distributor cap as one of the troubleshooting tests in Autos class. that little carbon trail was enough to cause a motor not to start

    Looking at a boat with Volvo power

    Reylar is the 8.1 source regardless if MC or VP However a NA 540 or 572 (stroked 502) would be a better all-round motor than one with a huffer. And about 3k cheaper Megasquirt is one sure-fired way to grenade a boat motor. Remember, you have to run a boat motor rich, not at stoich

    1976 OMC 190 FORD electrical

    Looking at a boat with Volvo power

    gear ratio is different between an SBC and BBC. if going BBC, I would pick a 8.2/502 vs the 8.1/396 just because the 8.1 production stopped in 2008 by GM (volvo had inventory and kept offering until 2011) agree with Ted here, buy the boat you want/need vs forcing something

    Newbie considering buying 1992 Tracker Magna w/o outboard

    remember, the old 2-stroke that was on the boat will be much lighter than the motor you are thinking of. also, the transoms tended to rot on the Bass Trackers. check that well before your purchase. that is not an easy thing to replace in the boat as you must have welding and fabrication skills
