Some porn for you guys.

It's now July and just got on the engine stand for assembly. You know we need pics of the shiny new engine in the engine stand, right? If it weren’t for bad luck you’d have no luck at all. :) I’m still rooting for ya. You have no idea how right you are. Had a storm come through and clear off our de...

Still have the temp engine. Never installed it because I've been told my engine will be done.....

Heard that in Nov and Jan.

Trident marine rated fuel hose.

Teague SS AN 10 fitting

Getting ready for more fuel needed.

Amazing how small the factory pick up tube actually is.

1/2" tube

1/4" hole at the 90* fitting

3/8" barb fitting

Replaced with a 3/8" ID SS tube

SS AN 10 elbow

That's a 5/8" ID fuel hose

I'm still here. Just nothing more to update unfortunately.

One question though. Are you running 6 pairs of speakers off the M6/600?

Three pairs of 6.5" JL M3 speakers off the 600/6. (6 speakers total)

Ok, that's good. I saw one of your posts said 6 pairs of JL 6.5's. I was hoping you weren't powering all 6 pairs from that amp.

Looks great.

I run 200' of 1/2" with 10' of chain.

They have the PVC/rubber coated chain, but only seems to come in 4' lengths.

My understanding is it's really geared towards midrange RPM and cruising speed gains.

Faster planing time and more MPH in the cruise range. Idea of getting best fuel economy possible.

Target audience I believe is charter boats.

There is little to no gain in terms of high speed performance.

Second, one must plug the black hose that went to the old speedo that is not used on a GPS speedo or it will leak. Better yet, completely remove it. It's a new option! A cockpit shower! 😂😂🚿 Hydration station. One thing to note, the GPS speedo should be LED back lit and will not dim if you use that ...

For ease of installation and speed go elec.

If you want something like the auto trim function, you will need the hydraulic. It does react a little slower and I did develop a leak. The fix did seem to be to unscrew the top cap and reset it. It was an O ring seat failure.

Bring buckets of soapy water with you. (use a lid to keep from spilling in your truck)

Dump it into your bilge

Use a mop, scrub brush, rag, etc...

Shop vac the water out

Do you have captains choice or captains call exhaust? If so, that might be one of them.
