    When I first began reading the forums, a common complaint was not providing enough info. HA! How should I install my replacement fuel tanks? Almost every single boat person I have met since I got Dad’s old 1967 Belmont 19’ flatbottom v-drive out almost 2 years ago has told me to get rid of the...

    So I'm getting ready to setup the fuel lines for the new motor. This time around I have a pump that requires a regulator which on the old motor I didn't. I was just planning on doing what pretty much everybody else has done and just hang a regulator bracket off the carb base then run lines off...

    Hey everyone.... So this year I did a full makeover of my stereo which was the original from 02 so you could only imagine how terrible it was. Rattles, broken mounts, terrible sound quality, no ipod hookup and CD player was terrible. To start, the front speakers were hanging off because the...

    I am rebuilding my Berk 12JC. I am looking at the bowl seal and wondering if it is supposed to be installed with the lip facing the water or the lip facing the oil. The water is under more pressure than the oil. In the the photo on the American Turbine online manual, it looks like the seal...

    I have a 86 Bahner 21' with a Berkeley jet and BBC 454. Just got the engine back from a rebuild and would like to install an exhaust diverter system while I'm putting it back in. I like to hear my radio when I'm idling around the marina. The above the water line transom exhaust is pretty loud...

    Hi Greg, I just bought an '85 19' CP. I have a rail kit that needs to be installed. Can you please give me some guidelines for a proper engine placement/angle and the best way to achieve this?

    I thought it would be cool to start a thread dedicated on only installing stringers. I thought it would be cool to get input from all others that have went through this before. This would help save the infamous Offshore Ginger of typing alot.. :) I thought it would be cool at some point to...

    I just put in a used 454 in my eliminator mojave. Motor sounds real good but when the boat planes out it seems to hang out at 35mph and is at ful throttle. Pump worn out maybe? Seems like there is no power but is running real smooth and sounds good. Berkley jg with 454, oval port heads...

    I'm looking to install the Holley power valve check ball in my 850 dp. The Holley instructions show the throttle plate being drilled. I've also see other how to's that show the main body being drilled instead. Does it matter?

    Hey guys, So the shop called and my oil pan is in. I'm going to pull the engine this week and install it. While I have it out, I'm going to tackle some ugly wiring, create new exhaust elbows out of aluminum (running a couple of sharp 90's out of carbon steel at the moment) this was strictly...
