I just went through the hose deal with BOTH my SBC's...had to have new everything. I dealt with Marine Power for mine...reasonably priced but when you're doing every hose on both engines it ain't cheap.

Art , You will find a little something extra in the package i sent you as far as hoses go . Now you can say i hosed ya !!....

I guess I will hold off ordering anything.....did you put a new thermostat in the housing too?

I guess you'll have to wait -n-see .

I won't have to wait long.....I just checked the tracking number and it says it was delivered today. I know that housing didn't weight 13 lbs......hmmmmmm

Looks like I hosed myself in a way....I ordered that same hose the day you said you were shipping the housing hahahaha. Well at least I will have a spare. The housing looks great!

Just found this in the swap shop. Might be worth looking into to match your current MAG engine.

ya, I saw that one, Gen 5. I already have a Gen 4 here, going to use it for now.

Is the one you have a mag engine or a modified 330?

Original in the boat is supposed to be 330, the one I picked up is suppposed to be 330. I have no idea if engine in boat is original, can't see why it wouldn't be, it has aluminum intake. The one I picked up has cast intake. First goal is just to get the thing running. If things work out I can always get a pair of engines. It isn't hard to pull them. I'm just a regular working guy with bills to pay so funds are limited. I can turn wrenches no problem. I'm making more progress than I planned this year so its all good.
