Out of the boat is much easier, but still have to deal with accessory problems, like oil reservoir, shifter bracket, clearance to structures in the boat, the new tails lining up with the exhaust tips. Fun to me, work to others! Take a look at what I found when I put the exhaust on before I pulled the motors. Dana custom made tails to fit. I've never upgraded anything that I didn't run into things like this.
thats the part where i freak out! i hope everything worked out in the end.
just got my manifolds today they look so,so nice. but noticed there was no instructions at all and there alot of ports on them for cooling hoses. could someone help shed some light on the routing on them. and do i have to buy new barb fittings or i do i use the ones from my stock merc manifolds? thanks guys--C.J.
Just finished my dana exhaust. I dont like the upside down oil filter,so we moved it. The ecu brackets from dana didnt fit well so we made some. Check this out.
where did you get that air cleaner??? I need one of those!!!!!
We made the stainless tubes and the bracket to hold them up. You cannot find a u bend with that tight of a radius. I purchased 2 90 degree bends then we cut and welded them and ground them down and had polished!
Well, my boat ran better at our local lake, went to havasu and bat was running lean because of the lower elevation. The ecu was retarding the timing. I ordered 2 adjustable fuel regulator modifiers today. I will post my results after this weekend. I am going to up the fuel pressure so that the computer stops retarding the timing, we will see what happens then!

No,I never posted them. The best i had ever done at the same lake was probably 84. After I installed the exhaust in the winter I ran 87.5 on gps but I am hitting the rev limiters with the 30s. I put 32 pitch props on it and it just blows them out and I cant get on plane. I am thinling about doing a tab to help with planing. My x is pretty high. I am also hitting the rev limiter at 5400 now. It was lean and I put adjustable fuel regulators on it! Much happier now. Only strange thing is. I think the stock exhaust was louder
i hope everything worked out in the end.
