Posted this in the V-drive forum as well, lots of jet boats with wet stacks, so hopefully my issue has already been resolved by someone:
Has anybody successfully done a temporary installation of a wide band O2 sensor and AFR gauge to dial in a carb? I'm able to set up the sensors no sweat, my concern is how to keep it dry since I have wet stacks. My thought is to setup a temporary inline tube where the rubber hose interconnects the riser outlet to the transom trumpet. I can redirect the water overboard briefly, I'm just not sure how fast the heat will get out of hand and melt the rubber tubing (real quick I presume).
Any thoughts or first hand experience with this would be great, I'm installing a new carb on my old DiMarco 21 this week to free up the second carb for my other motor. Planning to tune it this weekend an would refer to be able to dial it in using the AFR.
Thanks
Mike
