    Factory carb for Mercruiser 454's was always 850CFM Rochester's for a long time. The the Merc racing department ran 850HPs. Volvo put 715CFM on the small blocks and 800 or 850s on the BBC's. Everything I read was 830CFM on the Ford 460 Marine

    those garboard tubes are expanded in place. if it is moving, then I would suspect the transom get a new tube and the expanding mandrel. then inspect the transom for rot when you have the tube out. https://www.amazon.com/transom-drain-tube/s?k=transom+drain+tube
