I've been bathing my threads in ARP lube when putting them together. Haven't had a failure since. (crossed fingers...)

AN firrings are stupid expensive now , as is the hose


I had issues with Stainless on Stainless fitting. Same on same metals like to gull.


Sign of the times Dan. Everything is stupid expensive these days, especially high performance or specialty products. I feel your Pain. Got my second engine on the Dyno warming it up for a few pulls and the MEFI lost spark. Swapped in the ECM from the other engine that ran Great. Tune was totally off for some reason and down 10% in HP and TQ. So Try finding a MEFI 4B ECM these days. Prices for a used one start at 3X what a new one used to cost if one can be found with no guarantee it works. Found out there is major leak down in two cylinders one in each head. Knew the Heads on the engines would not go back on once off again and just ordered 2 new sets of bare AFR's. 6-8 week delivery, will turn out to be longer for sure. Went with the biggest 24 degree heads as the first engine started to lay over at 1345 hp.


Great looking switches when finished the boat will be a show piece for sure.


I have 2 MEFI 4B`s I`ve been saving .. if you get in a real pickle let me know .. I might sell one.

The bluetooth switches are pretty cool .
No wires.
Now I have Tab control on the steering wheel.

Try anti-seize on the AN fittings. Used to prevent galling on similar metal threads and corrosion on dissimilar metal.

Be interested on how those bluetooth switches work, if there is any delay. They look good.

Looks like you just have trim both, rather than individual?


Do you have DMC drive sync on just the drives or or both drive and tab?

No delay at all. Works up tp 30' away.
trim both at the same time .. I still have individual switches.

Is that steering wheel switch hard wired or on batteries? Just curious since i dont see anything...very cool idea though :cool:

ICDEDPPL 04-26-2025 11:16 PM

Wally, I`m sure there is a battery in there.. blootooth as mentioned.
