    I would buy a new filler, and drill new holes in either the boat or the filler neck flange

    Replace mount

    Water Pump connections

    they are push-to-connect fittings and yes, the pump will hammer a bit at low flow as it is building pressure, and being turned off by the pressure switch, then loosing pressure because you have the sink running turn the faucet/tap on full and the pump just runs.

    Towing a Chaparral 23 H2o Sport boat with a 4Runner that has a 5,000 pound tow rating

    dry weight is also without any fluids such as oil, fuel, etc, and options such as bimini top, etc. add all the other things up from post #3 and actually weighing the boat on a trailer and you will find you are much closer to #6k

    Everything done but low rpm at WOT. Distributor spring?

    IMO regulations are "international" doesnt mean that people follow rules. we also can argue VE all day long. that motor came with a larger carb from the factory that OMC determined was needed.
