Make sure there are no burrs and use permatex sealant. You want it to be sealed but not stuck in the hole. Pound em in straight all the way.

pretty sure dana marine, etc are all just resellers of hardin-marine products. all their product images, descriptions, etc are all exactly the same. I have had AWESOME service through cpperformance.com and my web orders usually get a shipping confirmation by EOD.

there was a dude here recently that put a hatch in the bow of his boat for storage. i cant find it for the life of me using the search function... but its somewhere on here. at first i was like "why in the heck..." but after seeing it done it came out VERY slick and I'm sure will prove to be super functional.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Got my headers
« on: May 23, 2014, 12:26:13 AM »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.
Sent from my iPad using SoCal Jet Boats
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.

nice progress! just a tip, trim down those stringer bolts. nothing sucks more than snagging your foot on those bad boys at the river. or turn em around so the long end is on the inside.

gas fumes settle on the bottom, hence why the blower hose goes to the bottom of the bilge...

« on: May 22, 2014, 04:37:11 PM »I hate that I've had a truck broken into before sucks. This is one reasone why I'm thinking of getting a SUV BUT I USE MY BED ALOT oops sorry about that. Next trucks getting a shell.
what do you use your bed for? i put 4x8 sheets of plywood in my SUV. 2x4's, tons of home stuff at home depot. a french door 29cu ft samsung fridge, a stackable front loading washer and dryer, triple axle fenders, etc. all of which fit inside and i shut the door and locked the car.
the best part, i can put the seats up and fit 8 people comfortably.

I/O's / Re: Trim for top speed
« on: May 22, 2014, 09:02:15 AM »
i took my boat out for a chance to really open her up last weekend. i found that my bow was riding a liiiiitttle too low and i didnt take it over 4k rpms. still had plenty left in it though. i hit the trim button a few times with little change... but i didnt adjust the trim gauge sender when i originally installed the drive so i dont really know how far up i was going. decided to call it a day. ill mess with it more next weekend.
