    Newer Tie Down Disc Vented kit any good?

    I've done a search and it seems in the past they have gotton some poor reviews. It seems all the poor posts were with the single thick rotor. Is the whole system still poor? It seem like a good deal for the whole line kit, accuator and discs. In all honesty it would seem to be pretty hard to...

    Water Shutters

    Recently my origional flapper pin style shutters were making way too much noise for me so I went and replaced them with the drop in Mallory units. Is there a trick on getting the flappers to have less resistance. I was able to squeeze them in but it takes some force to push through the rubber...

    Bleeding T&T System

    After an accident yesterday (see pic below) I got some new trim arms and installed them in my cases. When attaching it all together and lifting the outdrive up for the first time, it took about half of the tank of 10w-30 and sounded pretty good. I could hear the air getting pumped out each...

    Anybody run a distribution box?

    Does anybody on here run a juntion box for all their light wires? I know I could splice the side markers into the existing line, but wouldn’t having each wire go directly to a universal point be better in the long rub? I feel having all connections above and out of the water and in a dry place...

    Q-Jet Metering rods and Jets.

    I picked up a Q-Jet last year for my 90 350 mag, but now I look at a few books and it says that the Jet, Primary and Secondary rods are differant. Boat runs perfect now with the stock 260HP carb on it. I dont have the stock carb anymore. Is it worth getting the jetting change and rods? I see...
