I just re-read my notes it was more like 3" shorter maybe a little more! It's something I never thought of and I like the way it works now much better! Who would have thought... I damn sure didn't. Obviously you don't know either because you would have corrected my 1" statement jackass.
I can see him not liking 4's or any of the dinosaur drives. None of the guys like them old drives don't matter who you talk to. I had a whole table of boat racers drivers/throttle men at key west say NO at the same time when I said I was thinkng about putting 5's on my boat. They all said leave the Konrads on.
I'm trying to be nice in This thread but your ego is getting the best of you bro. By the way your tank is not 1/4 tank when your gauge shows 1/4 tank because they angle.. your really on empty.
I'm sure you will have some smart ass reply tipicle of all the other train wrecks you post in...
One more thing the network I made with Phil at LipShip from buying a set of senders is unbelievable. The guy went out of his way and helped me get my boat going again when we broke a trim line in key west for free! That day he spent 3-4 hours rounding up the parts we needed to fix our boat so we could enjoy Key West! I owe him an entire vacation for what he did for us!
Who gives a **** if you can save $100 on senders... I wouldn't expect you to understand that though.

You like it 3" shorter and a ton of fuel left after the gauge reads empty, great.
I`ve opened up my tanks and know exactly what I want my sender length to be.
Konrads over SSM drives??
Perhaps the "racers" were anti SSM because they think parts are no longer available. Gary makes all the gears. I was able to get everything I needed 2 years ago including a polygonal vertical shaft.

A lot of conflicting advice (or opinions), on drives here. I would think any SSM style setup on these type boats would be superior to any Bravo style setup.
mmb, you actually have a Konrad "SSM" style setup. I would agree that it may be better as that company still produces new units, maybe that is what they are referring to??? Parts?
YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS, STOP!!! (I recently switched from Konrad/TRS, to SSM)

Talk with people who actually own them, and know about them. Not "heard" about them, and I think your nervousness will go away.

The story supposedly was in that apache, with triple 800 or 850hp engines, they would be able to complete an entire race season on the same set of engines and drives. Back then that said a lot. Huge heavy boats, big water , big rpm, etc.

I've ran my old heavy flat deck with 3A's and anywhere from 500 hp. To 800 hp for the past 7 years with regular drive oil changes with no issues. Knock on wood. The only thing i would ever change to is VI's. Thats just me though. By the way did you find toggles you like?
