Well done Neil - from Will's description, the engine has a lot of money it and installed properly should make a quick boat, you must be getting quite a collection! :wot: ....... how's the coaching launch coming along?

i have lots of questions already... carb? wiring? Any help would be gratefully received.

To day was a head scratcher... im thinking of 2 x raw water inlets, to maximize the water and if one get blocked... these would feed to a Y piece and into the jabsco...

Not sure on which carb to use.. seems to be a conflict... any ideas?

also, does anyone have a rough wiring diagram?

The chap who made my stainless steel inlets, and is making some 'big boy' shiny exhausts for my V6 Delta is Daniel Northover, on the south coast... He is very reasonable too.
