As far as that last mph,I got the fear put into me last year when boat bow steered/hooked violently at 95 mph and did everything but flip over. I used to want to go 100 plus but I have no desire...

After holding the boat in full boost for about 15 or 20 minutes we were about 500 yards from the entrance of the cheboygan river (close to where the USS Mackinaw ice cutter parks) and the hose going...

Fastest I ever been in a boat-99 mph in my 272
Funnest ride I ever been on was holding it at wot for 20 minutes going east the long way around bois blanc island in lake huron trying to get back to...

I have done transmissions before for all out monster trucks,they usually have blown alcohol motors that are very similar to drag motors,wouldn't last 10 minutes in a boat at wot,Smitty

Todd,we saw you with the hood up in front of consumers,I just made a quick run there to see randy on the multi colored cat to get my airfuel ratio meter before taking off to get to work by 4 pm...

Terrible thing to have happen to A son,I got to know Jack pretty well on my many trips to Baker doing Chassis dyno work on circle track cars and getting custom oil pans,he is a great guy and I would...

I have used them all but last time Manton was able to custom build them faster then anyone else,trend was weeks behind for some reason. Pushrods should be as beefy as possible when running any kind...

I guess if it was a light twin or single with a hp-500 or similar I would probably go longer than 10-15 hrs,what I mean is when you start making 650-700 plus hp/ft lbs tq or if your boat is extremely...

good info,keep us updated,thanks,Smitty

These were stock ones after 25-30 hard hours and a hard day of tuning with crocket on the st claire river with at least 5 oil changes in between to remove metal and at least one inspection teardown...

This is a used then treated gear that lasted 3x longer than stock new ones,this pic was after running 25 plus hrs at 950 hp level while testing,the gear set was ran another 30 plus hours after this...

I would say from experience that more important than the kind of oil used to break in the drive is the way it is driven and a oil change right away if running big power and tall props. The gears do...

There is always one a-hole I swear. I lived in the city from 1990 to 1999,houses 50-75 feet apart. I ran a transmission repair/auto repair business at my house and guess what,my neighbors NEVER had a...

That is a GREAT idea,when using a stock filter mount (or in your case a modified factory one) install a drain on bottom of the mount,Smitty

Another idea,especially for single engine boats where you have the room to do this,just because merc mounts the oil filter in the most FUKKED up,upside down way possible where a simple oil change...

Here is something EVERY high performance boater who does there own maintenance (oil changes) should invest in-a filter cutter. I bought one of these after a dyno session at Tyler Crocketts and using...

A gen 6 block should either have the outboard relief valve changed to the 30 lb differential relief valve or it should be plugged and a high flow filter with internal bypass valve ran at all...

This sums up the oil info I can think of for now,feel free to post pics of things you have found to work or not work well on your oil system. A few shots of a -12 or -10 full flow fitting would be...

A few other points to consider,if you plan on making a bunch of hp,running a high volume pump or pounding on your boat in the air,a extra capacity oil pan with trap doors,baffles,crank...

Something else-if you build a motor for your boat and don't dyno it or at least test run it before installing,a VERY important step- BEFORE going thru all the work of installing it- is to prime the...

A filter I often forget about for guys that want ultimate flow and strength-the fram hp6 or hp6a or it's equivilant-the wix 51222r. With a inlet that measures 1 and 1/2 inches,max pressure ratings...

Last,run a high quality,high flow oil filter. I run a K&N high flow filter. The flow ratings of these filter exceeds what the oil system can flow so it should never be a restriction. I mounted mine...

Tyler,this is something I put together a few years ago after repeatedly seeing guys on various websites post the same thing over and over-EXAMPLE- "I just built a motor and now it only has 17 pounds...

Oil lines-the factory oil lines have tight radiuses on them and inverted flare fittings that only fit your factory adapters and cooler. They are as small as 3/8 inch id also and cannot flow as much...
