My lord .... Someone needs to start a school .....what about it ... Ryan

wow, thanks for the nice compliment spiderman:frog:

I decided to use the AN 12 flared fittings for connecting the water hoses from distribution block. because of clearance issues under the cowl I had them machined shorter.
Also, the lower cowl had to be notched so that the 90 degree could fit properly underneath

"NICE" Are the hull pickups going to supply all four Mercs ?

I think so.........good idea dave........12's are large

Do you think you may have a water problem with your 90 degree ?

i hope that I dont have water pressure issues. I know that the 2.5s dont need as much water pressure as the newer larger 2 stroke mercs.
My skater came with the same style 90 degree fittings on it with the triple set up for racing offshore. since then I've eliminated the sea strainers. Spiderman, do you know what effect the absence of the sea strainers will have on water pressure, if any? My thinking is that by eliminating the extra hoses and two sea strainers it might increase water pressure and/or volume. any thoughts??

I'm going to run it and see

I've been trying to buy out some time to work on the skater.
I went thru the electrical connections on the three original trim pumps and replaced the solenoids and fuses that were corroded and loose.

also, was kicking around some ideas about what to do about running all of the cables and hoses through the opening in the transom to the engines. I didnt like the idea of everything just laying across the transom like that so I had a local shop make an aluminum bracket that help keep things organized

Wow looks great, the attention to detail will really pay off in the end. When are wanting to get it in the water?

i wanted to have it in the water by july 4, but not going to happen. Im now targeting labor day
