The fuel switch is what came with the boat, and as of now I do not plan on replacing it. I'm not to sure what GT is talking about. Any advise is always welcome!

I was talking about having three frosty adult beverages after a very trying week...  :sly:

Ohhhh, you meant the oil pressure switch... :o

You probably have this switch (Major POS made in Mexico) http://www.bakesonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=1416

You need this switch (probably still made in Mexico, but great switch).. :-\  http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1438

Does yours have three terminals?

Do you know what the third one does?  :sly:

edit;
The third wire goes to the coil "-" terminal and grounds out the coil..  ;)

IMHO, you would be wise to wire in a cube relay to eliminate the parasitic voltage drop from the long wire runs, then run the third terminal (silver) to another cube relay powering the relay with the "I" terminal on the starter solenoid, this powers the fuel pump before there is oil pressure for more trouble free starting...  8)

Thanks GT, that's the plan!
short video of how shes running. Still have to learn how to fine tune, a work in progress.

I couldn't see a third wire, unless that's what the blue wire is for. No terminals on the pressure switch its self just a plug. Would there be a reason to change it if seems to be working right?[IMG]

You can start by installing a fuel pressure gauge.

What is the desired fuel pressure?   

Also is this the fuel separated you suggest?

From what I've learned it depends on your carb and set up you have. Seems as though anywhere from 3-6 psi. I'm no expert. Sierra is what I use for the water sep.

After stressing, many trips to the hardware store and auto parts store. This is the final product. Looks kinda cheesy, but for a rookie I'm happy with it! I had to find a way to mount the ignition bracket because the flame arrestor didn't like where I had it before! As of now no leaks (cross my fingers). Still gotta put it in the water to she how she does. Seems to be running a lil rich, because I'm getting a lil smoke from the exhaust (I think that's a sign of being rich). With that I also picked up a jet kit, to tune but don't have that holley ear. You tube has been my new friend lately. So if anyone would like to help with fine tuning that would be awesome.
Before I forget, thanks for everyone's replies, info, and tips!

Getting closer :thumbup:! I was able to put the boat in the water, and for the most part the boat ran well! No leaks  :thumbup: even after being in some rough chop everything held up! One thing I did notice when wiping it down, there was quite a bit of exhaust film on the transom. In your guys opinion what would cause that? With the Q-jet I never had that, just curious. Gotta read some other threads about carb adjustment. I'm just happy the boat ran. Crossing my fingers I hope I solved my fuel issue!
Gotta tidy up some things here and there, but I think I can put a fork in this part of the project! Thanks again for everyone's input and advice! Beers on me when I see ya out there!
