Hi 4bait, I love the project! I would like to pick your brains, i have an ecotech in a fibreglass jet boat and would like your opinion on the computer and wiring loom, as well as a few other things. Whats the best way to have a chat?

Cheers

Chris

Mr vx I believe it's direct-drive.

Wow nice build there

Wow nice build there

yep it's just too bad a broken valve spring decided to put a piston into the sump after 10 hrs engine time at and below 4200rpm LOL but it still got us home with 2 hours running on 5 cylinders before the piston let go.

Next build will have heavy duty valve springs etc in order to prevent this happening again.

Mr VX yes it is more or less a direct drive just forward and neutral reverse but it the ratio to the prop is 1.83-1

Cheers Andy

I have enjoyed this build, and only found it because i am about to do this to my 17ft reinell. I was hoping you could re-post the pics of you header build because i am not able to see those photo's. nice build.
