I wonder if you could use those with an engine cover without starting a fire due to the heat?

Here is the ebay link.

I wouldn't run these in a enclosed engine capartment. They are just water injected headers and get hot.

wouldn't recommend using with a motor cover just as hot as basslets with no air flow

Ok got the headers mounted.

Can some one tell what size AN to hose adapter I need for the T and water lines?

And the size for this bung for my water dump lines

Thanks

Looks as if your running those under an engine cover? It's -8an for the tee valve

What is the difference in these and the lightning headers? Many guys run those with a hatch. Just thinking of ideas, thinking of getting rid of my logs. But not willing to give up the hatch.

lightning are a jacketed header. think of a pipe within a pipe. the cavity between them is completely filled with water so the outsides of them are cool to the touch. then at the veeeery end the inside pipe ends and the water and exhaust mix and exit out the back of the boat.

Lighting headers are a pipe with in a pipe water jacketed. Only get warm

These are water injected only one pipe so they get hot. Water only gets injected over 1500 or more rpm at idle they are extremely hot

Not a good idea to run them under the hatch due to the heat that they can create.

My hatch is only on cause I'm converting from logs to water injected headers when I'm done the hatch will no longer be on.

How did you run your dump lines? You know the size of the bung in the collector?

Did the thread pattern match for the header injection connection? Or did it need to be altered in any way?

You have a photo?

I see, thanks for the clarification. That's a big difference.
