Default O2 Sensor question

Are any of you that run Holley HP EFI having a hard time with O2 sensor longevity? I was wondering if the moisture from Headers is killing my sensor.

There will always be moisture in a marine exhaust, the moisture/condensation will ultimately render the o2 sensor useless over time and you will have to replace them once in a while. Keep a spare with you. Or use an o2 bung as recommended by Baja above that will make it harder for the moisture to reach the o2 sensor.

Are you running the NTK sensors? I was told that they work better in the marine environment.
These help also.

No I’m not yet. I’m replacing with Bosch and will get a bing extension and see how that does first. I was told same thing by my tuner. They are 100 more per unit and last a little longer.

This is the piece I would recommend too. Made no difference in AFR readings either. I did back to back comparison.

I never had any issues to begin with, but have always ran the Innovative bung extender from day one on my wideband.

When i put fuel injection on I got the 90° one that I listed as it’s pretty much the same but the bend allowed me to clock it so the sensor is way up away from the water. 50 or so hours so far and no issues.

Just for more data I run that extender as well and have about 250 hrs of run time on the same O2 sensor.
