It's been proven that Holleys don't like the air blowing across the top of them....at least that's all I could remember.
Now legally, it's supposed to be backwards incase of a carb fart....

Thanks guys that helps a lot! I like the scoop look and will be going that route....this helps me know which way it should be facing!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / The scoop on scoops

So if someone could give me a quick lesson on scoops. Forward facing vs. Backward facing. Exposed vs. Unexposed.

Is it a fuel air mixture issue. Is it a simple adjustment for the style you are running or want to run? Are there any advantages on one vs the other?

Please forgive me if I included pics of your boat without permission...only using as reference.

What's the motor like now?Is it stock? Has it ever been rebuilt with any performance modifications?
The tunnel ram might hurt your performance out of the hole and just waste gas.
Yeah, they look cool. But unless the rest of your motor is built for similar performance, it probably won't be worth it.

A good exhaust to help it breath better than the logs and a good pump.

If the motor is running good with a decent amount of power,
I would look into ways of improving the pump, like maybe an inducer.

Thanks Dave. The motor is a stock 5 litre Indmar. I did think an upgrade in exhaust would help to let it breathe better. And that was really the reason for my post. Definitely don't want to hurt the performance just trying to get a certain look. And I also wasnt trying to do 80mph blasts up and down the river either.

What else can be done to the pump? Impeller change? It's a stock Berkeley on there now.....doesn't even have a diverter....which is in the future plans as well.

Lake Havasu / Re: Best part of Havasu for jets?
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:21:24 PM »
Went to Desert Storm 2014. Launched from Cattail Cove and it was pretty brutal on the lake with the wind plus a good number of boats on Havasu. The channel was the only refuge. Trailered to Needles and had a blast....definitely better going on the river with the calmer water.

If you're on the Lake launch early find a spot and stay late! The river from Laughlin to Topock is the place to be for running up and down.

To be honest I see a lot of guys with rigs that have more worth in their engines than the rest of the boat...I've come to see that as a normal part of the game! But you can say that with a lot of cars too! Like you said...to each his own! As long as we are out there having fun!

Ha! You got a lil extra icing on your cake though! A lil jealous! Think I'm gonna partly expose the engine like that though....probably not a complete uncover.

Thanks guys! Your feedback is definitely .appreciated and noted! I will mention that I'm NOT looking to do 80mph...and definitely not trying to kill any reliability in the boat. Just a slight increase in power to move the fam around....and to be perfectly honest I just love the visual effect of an uncovered motor. So the changes I'm looking for are more cosmetic than performance. Just wanted to know benefits if any.

Boat Showcase / Dual vs Single Carb
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:30:13 AM »
Can you guys give me some input on the benefits of using a dual carb set up vs having a single? Are there HP/Torque gains? High end vs. Low end? I'm fairly new to boating but I'm in love!! I'm set on a tunnel ram set up. I'm moving from logs to Bassett thru transoms....and a few other changes.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Hard to find starter!
« on: April 23, 2014, 03:31:16 PM »
I need you guys collective wisdom on finding a replacement for a starter. My ride is an 86 Carrera Eagle. The starter has 3 bolts attaching. The solenoid is completely seperate.

Would this work from CP Performance? Everything thing I've found so far is not even close to what's in there.
