Boat is Sold.

Hi.
Been a long time member but havent posted much. 

It has also been quite a project.  I got a 21ft Omega Open Bow that started life as an outboard boat.  Gutted it new floors/ carpet, Jet, 454,OT Headers Water injected,  new electrical, interior everything is pretty much new.   

Took it to Elsinore for its maiden voyage and had a decent first test run.  Had a few issues I want to list here and see if the group can help point me in the right direction.

1. Fuel system is 2 tanks to a Tee then 1 line to the Fuel /water separator then Holley Red Elec fuel pump to the carb.  All of a sudden we lost fuel pressure.  Couldn't get it started to limp it to the shore when I decided to just climb to the back and squeeze each line in the system.  Sure enough after that it was fine and no more problems. 
Any idea what would have caused this?  Wondering if I should remove the water separator and just run in line filter.  Tanks have new pickups and were cleaned prior to re install.

2. I am running one of those Blue Sea System Auto charging relay for the two batteries.  Voltage runs just under 12v when "on" and don't seem to ever see the led indicator come on that it is charging.  If I switch to both it jumps to around 14v.  I want to make sure I am actually charging but not sure if I am on "both" if it is charging or if it is just the two batteries combined.  Running 1 wire alternator. The big battery cable goes from alt to the starter then there is a ground wire attached in case I wasn't getting a good ground on the mount

3. My water lines are 3/8 @ the pump to -8an to 1/2 gate valve to -8an to pop off valve  to inlet on the block.  Then out the top it is -8an to overboard and -8an to basset t then to the headers.  Running hot at idle +215*  Have flow through the block.  My assumption here is my overboard line is too small.  Or all of them.  What should I do?  Once I got up to speed it came down.

My headers are Cut short.  Do they make extensions?  Or if I wanted to extend to get them over the back of the boat what should I use?

Overall boat ran good and got on plane.

And that is really all the issues I had besides some minor leaks and a stench when I got it home but I know how to fix all those. 

Any help is appreciated

Hi
I am looking to sell my Rewarder BBC Thru transom headers with water injection.  I had them coated at Embee inside and out and have not ran them since.  They are in great shape with no cracks, soft spots or warping.

I would also trade for Over Transom Headers if you have

I am located in Orange.  I will need 1-2 day notice if you want to see them.  $450 obo

I also have the chrome tips.  they are straight  I believe 3.5" diameter. $100

let me know if you have any questions

thanks

Anywhere on the bowl will be fine, there really is no "spec.".

As for the gas tank mounting, it depends on what tanks. If they were glassed in, I would assume them to be rectangular aluminum. The best way IMHO is to glass in some hard wood and strap them, but it really depends on what you have.

ok sounds good

Yea they are rectangular.  They are 20 gal each.  I pulled them because they were resting on the side of the hull.putting stress cracks in the gel coat.  So I want to mount them so they aren't resting there any more.  Is it best to make a bracket on the floor and then have them bolt to that?

Hey guys. I don't post much but read a lot on this site.

Long story short I am almost done converting a 21 outboard omega to a jet.

454 is in as well as the jet.  I went to put the TA  on and now not sure what to do with this hole where the plug used to be. 

Also not sure if maybe I have the wrong TA as it seems there is a pretty large gar between the bowl and the TA .

Looking for any pointers you guys have so I can get this on there and move on to the next step.

I took pics with it off and then with it on.  You can see where the TA partially covers it.  Not sure if I should drill out a hole and keep it or plug it up.  If I drill it out there won't be much material there to seal up I don't think.

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you!

I have a steering rack system from teleflex that is too short for my boat.  It is a 16ft cable taken from the teleflex part number.  It was new when installed on a different boat I bought for parts. 

75 free shipping in the USA.  I am in Irvine.

Let me know if you have any questions

I found this thing on Ebay and wnated to use it on my gen 4 454.  My motor plate has the mount for it.   the person on the other end of the listing isn't understanding what I am asking as far as bolt pattern and about the gear movement in the starter.  he keeps telling me it is a marine starter.....clearly
