    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    The TBI modules are like $50 at a parts store

    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    This is kind of my thinking. I know that they use rebuilt OEM GM TBI throttle bodies, so it would come down to IF GM/ Rochester actually ever certified the TBI model they use for coast guard compliance, but I knew he was doing a marketing ‘dance around the question ‘ As for the Holley, that...

    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    I got an answer back from them. They install an automotive module in the Delco EST distributor, which is actually for TBI trucks. Makes it so the ECU can control timing. He said the shift interruption will still work and he said that installed correctly it will pass a USCG inspection. He didn’t...

    3.0 MPI distributor? Specs needed

    I figured this out while looking into FI for my boat. The guys at Affordable Fuel Injection told me that they swap out the Delco EST module for a GM car module so the timing stays locked on their marine kits. I had an epiphany moment and looked up the module for a ‘95 Chevy 1500 (TBI), and...

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    plan on the stringers. 95.9999999% chance they are rotted as well. I recently cut up one of my parts boats, which was a Four Winns Freedom 160. The boat was rotted from about the windshield back. Very little solid wood, and before I bought the boat, the previous owner was running it in the lake

    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    I think Affordable uses genuine GM TBI throttle bodies and GM sensors. I wouldn’t hand my cash over without at least a few calls/ emails. I looked a little bit into the Sniper EFI but it always comes down to something isn’t quite right, or there’s a weird surge with the shift interruption or...

    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    I thought the picture looked like a GM ECU. That could be one up for reliability

    Affordable fuel injection intriguing

    I just ran across Affordable fuel injection for marine engines. I’ve known Affordable fuel injection existed but never paid attention. Shows about $1,500 for a complete kit, which doesn’t use an O2 sensor and a video from 6 years ago suggests they use Mercury marine ECUs with custom software...

    A 15’ whaler will go through an inlet with an experienced captain. Wouldn’t do it myself

    The End

    Literally my season hasn’t started yet. I’ll hit the lake with the little outboard runabout next weekend. I’ll run it till November

    Boat outboard input

    Tin StarCraft would be my suggestion. You’ll go as fast as the powers that be want you to. Hp limits have to do with shore line erosion

    Mercruiser 120 Coil and Resistance With Points

    Oddly enough you can go to Napa and ask for a coil for a 1965 Chevy II with 153 cid 4cyl and you will get the right one

    Mercruiser 120 Coil and Resistance With Points

    Same as off. It’s a resistance wire so it’ll be under 12v. It should be at least 6v iirc. That won’t tell you much tbh. A test light is accurate enough to verify the circuit for spark

    Mercruiser 120 Coil and Resistance With Points

    Coil needs to have resistance. If it reads 0 ohm something wrong. 1.5 ohm is what you need.. ohm measured across the terminals with ignition off

    Stuck Transom Wood

    I’m actually referring to where you specifically said not to grind ( prep ) the fiberglass, which will cause a failed repair. If you do manage to do one stringer at a time. Let’s not forget that, you need to prep the entire area, and the surrounding wood and foam could/ would cause moisture...

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    I’m no GM fan, although I work at a GM dealer in the service department. The trucks aren’t that good. 6.6L gas is about the best engine they produce now. The new Traverse is a game changer. I nearly bought a Traverse ZR2, but $55k I decided it wasn’t a good idea. Wife loved it tho

    Stuck Transom Wood

    Actually. I did suggest that removing the transom skin, as he did, while not generally regarded as the best way to do it, it is done enough to know that it does work. The biggest failure in the way you suggest is not prepping the old fiberglass for adhesion. And probable issues with moisture...

    Stuck Transom Wood

    I think going forward with this boat with the transom already cut off. The safest way would be to cut it the rest of the way off and just build back with new. Leave a tab of what is left for the plywood to ‘catch’. The inner transom skin is what is usually removed vs the outer skin. Removing the...

    Stuck Transom Wood

    WOG was a beginner when he did it. Friscoboater was a beginner when he did it. I was a beginner when I did it ( only reason that boat never floated is it was destroyed due to a building collapse mid resto ). I don’t have the itch anymore and stick with tin. Quit giving bad false information...

    Stuck Transom Wood

    This is bad/ incorrect advice. Stringers need to be cut out, transom out. Fiberglass needs ground out for adhesion purposes to the new fiberglass.. shape of the boat kept with a cradle on the bottom. Top of the boat is less important than the structure on the bottom. But structure on the top...
