FWC System for '73 OMC 165

[DukesFin]

Any tips on (a): Can I do it? (b): Where do I get the parts?<br /><br />After this year, this boat will spend 99% of it's life in salt water and I really would like to go to fwc.<br /><br />Thanks!

Another note: The boat is a Grady White 212. There is NO room beside/between the stringers or in front of the motor. I do have some clearance above the motor though. I've heard of some being installed "on top" of the motor. Is this possible as well?

If thats an original, I would seriously consider a re-power...lots on work/money on an old engine

I respectfully disagree. It may be old, but it runs like a top. Perfect power, smooth and quiet. If I re-power, I'm re-doing the transom and getting an outboard, but I'd like to hold off on that as long as possible.<br /><br />Thanks for the reply though.
