Looks great Dave! Peter knows whats best :cool:


I'm with you, fuel pressure gauge is a must.

fuel system
 
the only downside of the big boat is the length the fuel line needs to be to supply the engines, that being said, try to ensure that distance to be at a minimum. my experience with the electric sender fuel psi gauges was very hit and miss, for some reason they are not very reliable? the mechanical gauges have been much better.

Thanks Dave, All that I have to do now is make some adjustments in the control cables, put the props on and be ready for spring!

You're right motion, everything was done to keep lines as short as possible and also brought filters and pumps down as far as we could in the bilge area to ease fuel flow through the system. Marty at Diamond has alot of helpful info for guys rigging the fuel systems for the Merc EFI outboards. especially about pitfalls to avoid when it comes to the style of fittings to use. The guys at Skater did a fantastic job for me in this regard

Very inspirational post, I guess I have no excuse, I can somehow start looking for a 24 and start on it. Great job on this 36, thanks for sharing the progress made through the whole resto.
Looking forward for videos of the first trip. :ernaehrung004:
