Yes. SBI Tech inspection found illegal equipment.

omerta one 11-19-2010 12:23 PM

Well its not like the rumors haven't been flying...they aren't the first nor will they be the last. After all, isn't it all in the "setup"!

Back4More 11-19-2010 01:18 PM

CigDaze 11-19-2010 01:37 PM

From the SBI Rules:

You must run a sealed “SBIP Certified Race Engine”

Which are:

The Mercury 525 Sealed engine is approved for competition

The Mercury 500 EFI Sealed engine with the Innovation upgrade is approved for competition.

The Innovation HP3 Sealed engine is approved for competition.

The SBIP 525 HP Sealed engine is approved for competition.

Certification and Sealing - To be eligible for competition in these classes, all individual engines of the approved type listed in paragraph 1.12. above, first must be certified and sealed prior to competition by an SBIP approved source in accordance with the then existing procedures established by SBIP, with the “approved” seals as supplied from SBIP. IT IS THE RACERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THEIR ENGINE (S) INSPECTED AND SEALED BY an SBIP approved source. If for any reason a seal is broken or the engine must be “freshened” or repaired, the engine must be examined, repaired, serviced and re-certified by an SBIP approved source. Broken or missing seals will be grounds for disqualification and other penalties. Currently the ONLY Approved Sealing & Servicing Center is:

Mercury Racing
N 7480 County Rd. “UU” Fond du Lac, WI
Phone: 920-921-5330

Innovation Marine
8011 15th St. East Sarasota, FL 34243
Phone:941-355-6791

=================

They were running, amongst other things, an aluminum flywheel - which are not an approved component of a "SBIP Certified Race Engine"

Or just write Fountain on your boat, and everything will be okay.
:rolleyes: :D

AN UNPAINTED ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL WILL GET U EVERYTIME!:lolhit:

Back4More 11-19-2010 04:01 PM

I see...but it is more of a drive line thing. If its in the rules its in the rules.

Ryan8886 11-19-2010 09:49 PM

Hey.....you seen the spot price of gold lately??? Reggie has chain necklace needs that must be met. Then there's his barber.....that chit costs $$$$ man....gotta get wins to earn the scratch! :party-smiley-004:

Expensive Date 11-19-2010 10:01 PM

Do the rules specifically state no aluminum flywheels?Because I would not consider that part of a sealed engine.

Back4More 11-19-2010 10:29 PM

2010 Technical Rulebook 3/23/2010

1.12.2.
Certification and Sealing - To be eligible for competition in these classes, all individual engines of the approved type listed in paragraph 1.12. above, first must be certified and sealed prior to competition by an SBIP approved source in accordance with the then existing procedures established by SBIP, with the “approved” seals as supplied from SBIP. IT IS THE RACERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THEIR ENGINE (S) INSPECTED AND SEALED BY an SBIP approved source. If for any reason a seal is broken or the engine must be “freshened” or repaired, the engine must be examined, repaired, serviced and re-certified by an SBIP approved source. Broken or missing seals will be grounds for disqualification and other penalties.

1.13.5.
Modifications and Changes - No modifications or changes of any type may be made to an engine, or any components thereon, including but not limited to the engine control modules or related internal codes, engine blocks, internal components, ignition systems, fuel systems, electrical systems, exhaust systems, valve systems, induction systems, lubrication systems, camshaft, crankshaft, heads, etc. unless performed by an SBIP approved source or approved in writing by SBIP.


Nothing about an aluminum flywheel unless it falls under "etc"....Maybe they should factory seal the flywheels then.

Very clearly it is covered in 1.13.5. This is a major component capapable of enhancing the boats performance. We're not talking about swapping out lighter valve covers

Jolley 11-20-2010 09:38 AM
