Whats your thoughts on running solid roller camshafts in a jetboat, that's probably used 20 hrs a year. People think im nuts but I have not had any problems.

A lot of us do run them. Some guys don't want to mess with then do to the maintenance of adjusting them. I like mine but I don't mind adjusting them when needed.

We run one as well but I don't think it takes much maintenance. I check ours maybe 3 - 4 times a season but we
don't make all the trips either dammit !
If it ain't broke ! Ha ha ha...

The thing with solid tappet cams (flat or roller) is if you run it often you should adjust it often, if you only run it a few times a year you only have to adjust it a few times a year.

If you're against adjusting valves at least every few trips I'd recommend going hydraulic.

Roller cams are the way to go in a boat it perfect because you run it every day

My first boat had a mechanical cam and I checked it before every trip and it was never out of adjustment. Mechanical por vida putos!
