    Need advice from experienced people.

    What kenny said - just looking for why the piston broke and what condition the bore is in. He mentions lock n stich and other types of cast iron repair which is the right way to do it, just likely exceeds cost of used head. Was this a salt water boat ?

    Plugs fouling

    verify the bowl isnt overflowing fuel down bores at idle due to high fuel pressure or bad needle seat and float. make sure choke is fully opening, try tweaking idle mix screws ay have been on a 454 but not sure what was done to it In terms of jetting power valve etc. likely was on a car with...

    Need prop help with new boat

    Assume he means the plastic prop hub, but that either works or it doesnt, prop would slip and rpms would be too high not low if it was an issue

    Need prop help with new boat

    If it should have a 17 the 19 will make holeshot worse. Assuming engine is in good shale and maintained you want to go lower in pitch than what u have on their now. What was the wot rpm with current prop? And whats the pitch

    Need advice from experienced people.

    Lean mixture clogged carb passages Or incorrect ignition timing. Detonation will literally beat the pistons to death. That may be the pitting you see. Take the piston out see what skirt looks like What did the plugs look like ? Mat have over heated also

    Plugs fouling

    Its running rich, was this just idling ? first verify choke is opening properly, suspect it is closed too long. did you adjust the idle mixture? Double pumpers may have idle mixture adjustment on all four bores. jetting is also probably needed but im assuming you weren’t running it fast...

    Need advice from experienced people.

    I suspect you had detonation which destroyed the piston. head is not weldable. Cheapest option find a junk boat sitting in someones yard with a 2.5 or 3.0 and swap it over Vs half azz rebuild.

    Water in the drive shaft bellow

    Why don't you post some pictures of what you have so we can take a look. Inspect the bellows closely when they are on the boat they are tough to see the cracks. If your u joint is rusty you are likely getting water in there and into the boat that way.

    Need prop help with new boat

    Agreed what prop is on it now and what is WOT rpm if indicating 3 k assume that is a bad tach. Also verify it is in good running order If you go to sea ray website there is a prop chart under owners resources. Should tell you what it came from factory (not that that is optimized) as comparison...

    4.3 Carb v 4.3MPI

    Equivalent year carb vs MPI is not 100% equal comparison. Once they came out with MPI they no longer made 4 bbl version of carbed motors. So comparing a utilitarian Mercarb or TKS 2 bbl version of an engine with MPI of the same engine which has a higher hp rating is not a fair rating of carb vs...

    2016 Four Wins H190 tow ring

    If it is the factory tow ring on the transom yes you will no have no issue pulling tubes skiiers or wake boarders from it. Bungee is pretty commonly available from tube suppliers no issue using it. You wont break the tow point, this is exactly what it is deigned to do.

    Fuel pump/carburetor

    There isnt one on an automotive carb…look at your old q jet you will find a nipple on there. On eddys it pressed into the cast at top if carb. Do yourself a favor and rebuild the q jet or get a marine carb.

    Take fuel line off carb, crank engine see if it pumps fuel into a container . Also agree from limited details sounds like you need a carb rebuild

    4.3 Carb v 4.3MPI

    excess gas is not vapor lock it means the bowl is emptying into the engine and it’s flooded , hence open throttle to let more air in. Vapor lock is gasoline in gas phase in fuel line so pump can’t pump it so carb doesn’t have excess gas it has no gas
