The No Wake Zone / Re: German Shepard problems!
« on: July 15, 2011, 04:05:56 PM »
i live by a bunch of crackers (sorry they are white and legal business owners) that took care of my german shepherds when they would jump the fence.

i ended up buying a 20' long dog run and no issues of them "jumping the border."

you'll notice that your wasting a lot of fuel.  ;D

if you swap out the cam, ignition, intake and carb, then you'll notice a big difference.  ;)

I can try 78/82 jets as opposed to the 77/81 that I have now but our motors might be set up completely different. My friends Hallett has a bbc and a way hotter cam than me and his motor likes 74/80 in his 750DP It just seems kinda odd that my engine is requiring so much more fuel when I have a smaller cam. I have a pretty agressive intake and my choke horn is shaved off. Could it  be that the combination of those two things is causing the motor to be lean since it's sucking in quite a bit of air?

i had a mild 282 crane cam with a pretty much stock 454... at one point in the build.  ^-^

not that its the plugs, but what kind of plugs do you use?

i had my timing locked at 36* and carb primaries at 78 and secondaries at 82 on my 750dp. i used autolite 26's and never had an issue. dizzy's will create problems. try another dizzy and see if thats your problem. i had a burnt cap/rotor once, but it still ran good and had the rpm's are 5600.

whats been change to your engine?

I have three german shepherds and one of them jumps my 6ft fence weekly.  I just got a call from my neighbor at 6am yesterday, telling me my puppy had jumped the fence. the best way is try to correct them off of it. my dog would climb a 4ft fence, then jump on some bikes that i had leaning on the fence. it make him easy to climb it.  my other two shepherds are largly, so no chance in them jumping the fence.  i have methods that work for me, but most would probably disagree with it. what i did with other bad behaviors, is make him do it when im watching and use verbal commands to make him not do it. usually it works, but sometimes, physical corections are used.

i would try lettace panel first or use some type of metal fencing. shepherds hate putting their feet in metal fence. i did it to the other side of my yard, and they dont jump it.

Not being an ass on purpose, but calling major bigtime BS on the 2006 Mercruiser outdrive and engine...Maybe a later long block, but that has late '80's written all over it...They stopped using Q-jet carbs in 1997...

Gen 2 Mercruisers look nothing like that one pictured, so unless these pics were before the change, then uhm, no...

Still a decent deal, but buyer beware... :sly:

rebuilt in 2006, sorry for the confusion.

Damn, I spent the day working on this. Yumajet is dead-on I have no room in my Southwind. I have no idea what I was smoking when I designed this thing but whatever it was, left me totally unable to read a tape measure. I wanted to put the thumpers in front of the bulkhead. I may still be able to do that for one but not two. I had planned to build a simple console box carpet it to match and mount it directly center to hold the head. After I looked at the  "your mom" photos (thanks for that) I couldn't figure out why he went to so much trouble to mount the head. Then I went and looked at my boat again.... The f-ing pedal is right in the way, doh! God, obviously I know nothing about what I'm doing here. This could take days.... Thanks again for the help.

i had my cd player next to the drivers side seat on the left side. i wouldnt' use the ipod directly to the amp, imo, it doesnt give it the output it needs and there IS A sound difference. if that was the case, most people would be doing that.  my bulkhead was with a few inches from the pedal, so there was no way i could of put any kind of sub in there. i couldve cut it, but decided not to. subs need an enclosure to sound good. as it was, folks over 6ft were cramped for space in my old southwind. if you cut into the bulkhead, just make sure to add some reinforcements and add fiberglass.



you can see the cd player knob and 6x9 box on the left side. like i said, it was heard over the headers, so i was happy with it.

Either two big marine batts or one marine and two 6 volt batts ran in series. I would keep them in back and you can either make a tray or buy a nice one. I made mine out of diamond plate...




your mom has a clean set-up in the trunk!  (motor area, i know  :P)

i wounder how the hood looks!  :o

batteries are best to be kept in the the transom area. ive never seen a battery in the front of a boat, but you can be the first.

remember that a boat is not like a car, so you are not powering lights, a/c units, ect. unless you have a beast of a motor, one alternator and one battery should be fine. i would suggest you adding an additional battery with a perco or isolating switch, for that extra protection of killing battery #1. i would suggest trying one lower based amp for your subs and not connecting any amps to the mids and see how you like it from there. you are very limited on adding a bass thumping/sound speaker system in a 18ft jet boat. it will not sound anything like a car, because its a boat with open space. i had a little day cruiser with 2 12s and some extra mids and it sounded ok. i put that same set up in my car and it sounded a lot better. the boat system would sound better if you dynamat the sides and floors and put the subs in a fiberglass enclosure. thats just adding pounds of weight and would definately affect the handling/weight of the boat.

example; when your sitting in the drivers seat of your 2 dr honda civic, the stereo sounds good. now open your trunk and stand 5 feet away on the curb. it sounds like a rattle can of crap.

easy scenario would be hook up a amp to the 2 subs, have a good head unit with atleast 200 watts per channel and a set of good 4-way mids. that should be simple enough to sound good.

enough of me rambling.  ;D

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. The boat is an 18ft Southwind. My thread was a bit misleading, I plan to power the 2 subs with one 1KW Class-D amp. That is about 300 - 500 Watts RMS depending on how I connect the 2 speakers (2-ohms total or 4-ohms if I just use one sub). The other 2 amps are to run the front and rear speakers. I plan to attach the sub box to the stringers. The battery issue is particularly painful, I have added a 200Amp alternator but I really hate to add an additional battery. I do realize that I don't have much choice if I'm going to run this kind of stereo though. Is there a reasonable alternative to a lead-acid bat? Are gel-cells lighter and would they work? I think that answers all the questions, what do you think? Thanks again, Alex

i had a basic pioneer unit with two 6x9s and 2 5x6's and i could hear the music past the headers. one amp would power the mids and high safety. too many wires and amps tends to screw stuff up. my southwind, just as yours was very limited in space. i could fit subs in there because of the bulkhead, so i just put the mids on the bulkhead and the 6x9s in separate boxes next the rear seats. it sounded good for a little stereo.

one thing i noticed is when i used a k&n oil filter, the oil pressure was higher. guessing it was a bit more restrictive than the frams ive used. if i had no oil pressure, theres a good chance i wont be starting the motor, so no chance of ruining the motor.  :sly:

$3 dollar filter for a $3 dollar motor? frams are about $5 bucks, so i guess i have a $5 dollar motor? i think not. i just supply the parts and my buddy hooks me up with all labor.  ;D

If the speaker box is not bolted on, it will slide around all over the place. If you have headers, which I will guess "no" then you should be able to hear the music. as mentioned, 3k watts is a lot, unless you have have two solo-barics or w3 subs. just leave the music to the wake boarders with their 4 6x9s on the rack.  make sure you use two batteries if you want that kind of power in the boat. plenty of batteries have died at the river because folks play their systems and forget to turn it off.

a proper oil pan will save your motor from running out of oil and its a cheap investment. if your burning oil, that is something that should be looked into. adding 1/2-1 quart everytime you go out is not a good sign. if your oil pressure is between 40-70 psi, then obviously your getting oil pressure. if it aint broke, you "dont" gotta fix it, yet. if it runs good and your getting good oil pressure, than you could leave it the way it is. good oil pans are usually in the $250-500 range, compared to the cool chrome oils pans at autozone for $40 bucks. whatever works.

Anyway, yes I have replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the carb as well as new Wix fuel filters.



Sounds good, I just use one russell fuel filter and seems to work good.
