An o2 sensor would be nice. Most boat guys don't run egt probess except on the dyno due to water jacketed exhaust. But if you are blowing flames out the exhaust something else is wrong. Is the blower swap the only thing you did from running good to flames out the exhaust?

It would sure help. I don't understand if you are blowing flames out the pipes why the egts aren't off the charts high.

I'd say you have something else going on like weak/broken valve springs. I use the Innovate LM2 af meter which per my research is the most accurate.

The flames in the pipes is raw fuel burning . I'll bet if you check the oil it will be loaded with gas. It's acting like it won't clean out because it won't . You are putting way to much fuel in it and it's just blowing the fuel out the exhaust .
