So I put a droop on never checked speed before droop and never dialed in the diverter but just a quick phone check told me 77mph in the middle of Elsinore me my dad and the boy. . I'd like to be faster but we'll get there. Anyone think high 80s close to 90 is unrealistic with my hull without a bottle😜 I'm turning 6,000rpms I'm sure I can squeeze a bit more by myself and trimming the diverter.

With the people on the boat, unless you're all wearing Lifelines, yes.

6,000 rpm? What impeller does that thing have in it? I would have thought low 80's.

Where does the water break? How was it riding?

Where is your ride plate set?

She should be feeling pretty free, almost "flighty".

I feel something is a tad "off".

Idk what impeller is in it wanna say AB cut but I'm no expert on pumps as far as ride plate I don't have one at this time that may help me out . Has loader, impeller,bowl detail work nothing professional but it looks affective, droop and place diverter.

My sending unit on my fuel tank is leaking what's the best fix another gasket or some type of rtv glue. Hopefully I don't have to pull the tank cause I don't think it'll come out without the seats and stuff coming out 15gal tanks shoved under this thing

Cork or EPDM gasket.

Also, auto correct killed me.

Gasola, it's now this crap.

It works awesome, didn't realize Loctite bought them.

It's now...? I'm confused I can't find anything but the thread seal. Also found that tank to be full and other half empty after last time out I think it may be from my dad sitting on one side while parked but idk. The two tanks are linked to one fuel line sucks outta both tanks equal and one sending unit for gauge.

That seldom works. We ran a marathon boat with three tanks, a shut off valve on each tank was absolutely necessary.

Here's the goo I was talking about.

Perfect so think I deff need to separated my tanks I kinda liked the fact of the one sending unit and sucking outta both tanks so it's half but if it's not gonna work I'll do valve

Does the second tank have a sender?

No one sending unit for fuel gauge. Fuel line off each tank and then to a T one line into the filter/separator then pump then filter then carb. The T is about top of tank height lines dip down to the T and after T loop into separator. Lines come off the top of the tanks

Don't take this the wrong way, but this is silly.

I would put a valve on each side of the tee. Virtually call it good.

What would it take to install a sender in the other tank?

K. Is there a way to run it with one sender and suck outta both at once or is that not heard of? Thought that's how they used to all be but may be wrong.

To install another sending unit id have to pull seats and tank and probably drill it out and figure out screws and wire it in to a two way switch on one gauge or something.

« **Reply #73 on:** May 25, 2016, 10:48:41 PM »

So my seats look nice and are in great condition but I noticed the wood under isn't in the best condition. Thinking bout going to fiberglass buckets and a fiberglass bench. How much weight you think I'll save. Being at low 80mph I think losing some weight would help big time, and since I may be redoing my seats in the near future thought it may be a good thing to think about. How do you guys like your buckets and bench? Also how do you guys mount them in?

I'm no expert but I really like the set up in my boat. I have an electric fuel tank selector valve out of a GM dually truck (with dual tanks), wired to a Double Pole Double Throw Switch on the dash. each tank plumbs to the valve (as well as the return for me as I am fuel injected), then to the separator then the pump, then to the fuel rail. Now since I have a sending unit in each tank, both units are wired to the valve as well and then a single line up to the dash. The gauge shows the level on whichever tank Im running. Now if you don't want to add another sending unit, you can run the tank that doesn't have the sending unit first, when it runs out of gas, switch the tank and now you know how much gas is left. If interested I can track down part numbers and diagrams.
