good points

Could that be from improper installation? The technology has come a long way, and you no longer have to have a computer engineering degree to hook them up. Its hard for me to believe a properly set up and calibrated fuel injection system would produce less power and less efficient fuel burn than a 2...

You talked me into it...I'm grabbing myself a cold one...

Anyone install an aftermarket fuel injection system on their crusader or mercruiser 454. I have a buddy that installed a FAST fuel injection system on his '67 Chevelle with a chevy 454, which was installed on the original manifold. The project took about 3 hours, and required the installation of a f...

I would hate have a stall out during those manuevers.

I thought they were about 16 guage stainless steel. I'd probably do more than spot weld. I would put the new piece on the bottom of the existing plane and push the side nearest to the hull about a 1/2" forward. I figured by putting the new piece on the bottom, the water pressure would not be as...

RWS, Do you have a price on that set-up? I think my shafts are ok, as they look at least 1 1/2". In the short term, its kind of hard to justify since their is only 700 hours on these motors. I was contemplating adding a fuel injection system. A buddy put one on his '67 Chevelle with a 454 and h...

No, the boat was wet tested and its very dry. I'm running a v-drive system, so the motors are set back in the boat. The water tank was about half full, but its in the middle of the boat. Fuel was about 1/2 tank. The boat gets to its max speed pretty well, and the speeds are pretty consistent with wh...

Tom, I just measured them. They are a 1991 Boat Leveler that measure 24X8. Are you suggesting a tab with a longer span, or a larger chord, say 12". I know RWS went with the Bennett with the 3" drop fin, and Boat Leveler does not have that option. Additionally, boat leveler tabs are much mo...

Unfortunately no. They are boat leveler tabs. Is there an adapter? I was also thinking if going to the local metal and welding shop could help out. Any suggestions would be great.

I know this topic has been exhaustively covered, but I just pulled my 10.8 Meter express for the winter and I had a chance to look the boat over, and found myself scratching my head. I probably have one of the most substantial boats in the yard, but I also have one of the smallest set of trim tabs, ...

I'll try to take some photos if I can figure out how to post them, but there is not a drop of water coming out of the exhaust. The owners manual stated that this set up was designed by Trojan for this boat. Its kind of a pain in the butt, because I am use to checking my exhaust outlet for water. So ...

That is all understood, however on my 10.8, the water is directed from the riser to a hose that discharges through the bottom of the boat. The actual exhaust gasses are discharged through another through hull on the side of the boat. So when you look at your exhaust outlet, there is no water. Wonder...

I noticed the posting on the underwater exhaust topic, so I figured I would ask now. I purchased '91 10.8 meter express and it discharges the raw water exhaust water through a seacock by the v-drives, so the exhaust out of the thru-hull is straight exhaust gasses. Any idea why this was done. The onl...

I'll second that vote!!
