F*ck all that. Keep what you got and run it! I’d be over spending money and changing things out to fit 565’s when you’re basically almost done at this point. Those motors you built look and sound like they’re gonna run real nice.

You would need to do a lot of digital conversions to do the 565's. I'd keep the bumped up 575's and if you get tired of the carbs, switch to an efi system

I like the 565 but there is no way after all the work you have done

There is something about "turn the key" and go, along with increased reliability.

I thing the 1100's are plenty unless your expecting something drastic like busting a hole in the hull

I was thinking that as well. You never know what could happen just didn’t know how if the bigger pumps would make a difference in a bad situation. Finally getting somewhere

I'd say 1100 will be fine. What size hose do you have for your pumps? The difference between 1.0 and 1.125 is about 7-8 gallons per minute. restriction is the biggest flow killer on a bilge pump.
