It's in the manual I sent you It's also in the stickies in the write up from the great Don S With the required new O-rings, lightly coated with grease. Start with the clamp ring loose As you clamp the PDS, you also align the housing. Using feeler gauges, you set the gap at the 9, 12, and 3...

Ply wood is significantly stronger than dimensional lumber. You can use poly foam if you want for stringers if you add enough layers in the encapsulation You can build a cradle on the trailer if needed

I put my BBC in front of the DP290 drive with 1.95:1 gears. I just jumped from B5 / B6 props to B7 / B8s no need to change drive The EFI and ECM is there because GM switched from Carb to EFI on the trucks. You can add knock control if you want, however detonation isn't really an issue...

Most likely the plastic lines and fittings for the livewells are cracked or leaking. The good news, that is fairly inexpensive to repair yourself. The bad news is you have to disassemble nearly the whole boat

You should have 12 volts only when cranking. The ~9 volts is so you do not burn the points up when running. You have a resistance wire in your engine harness vs a ballast resistor

You could swap to a Duramax diesel, or a Big Block or simply go to a carb on an SBC stroker

I'm going to sell the trick skis as my trick knee says I'm an idiot considering keeping them

It's in the manual (you tighten until you seat the ring) Get new o-rings (also in the manual)

I'd you rebuilt the PDS correctly, you can put well over double the power your 5.7 is putting out I now have a big block in front of my 1988 DP290 (technically a DPA1) The weak link is the input shaft end in the gearbox in the input gear. NOT the 1-5/32 inch diameter 26 spline version plugged...

I could take a picture of the Florida Sunshine

Faceplant or wipe out on skis and you come out of the bindings, may have water in an orifice or two, may have your swim trunks 30 feet away, may have to swim for both the trunks and the ski now floating in the weeds..... may even have mud in your face from crashing in shallow water. But you are...
