the stock holly 650 vac second unit is on now , last muscle car i had i switched too a cnc machined demon and gained 2/10ths in the quarter mile and felt like 50 hp , i want too upgrade my boat instead of re building 30 year old parts and the carb is due

so my motor is back together and i had a couple chances to test it out , i got a 13x13 4 blade stainless with the boat and its very slow outa the hole and tops out at 32mph the 13" 3 blade brass that came with the boat is quick outa the hole and gives me 37mph , and also the 4 blade seems too give more wake ????? and one have suguestions for the same boat ? i would like too sell one prop and buy a new one thats exactly what i need , i would love too find something quicker outa the hole with a top speed of 35+ , my motor is now wearing gt40 heads and have a demon 650 marine on order so my boat should push 280 hp

82 tru trac pcm 351w

So my boat sat for a year or 2 befor i bought it i was told , my first time out i knew something was wrong with the motor.... Ended up being a bent valve so $$$$$ later its fixed with gt-40 heads and new manifolds , and now want to address the carb but have a couple questions - any one have ideas on edelbrock or demond carbs ??? - anyone know my wot rpm? - if i use a carb calculator it says 450cfm is enough for 4500 rpm lol i believe my boat has a 750cfm holley - any one have similar setup or thoughts too share

thanks for the comments , i do appreciate it

well tryed it and if you turn the rudder one way it won't come off but if you turn the other it has enought room .... I changed the 3 blade too A 13x13 4 blade ss and will be taking it out tomorrow too test as i over reved the motor and had a valve touch the piston i decided to upgrade the cam and install gt40 heads for some more kick should be a whole new boat

Do i have too remove rudder to change prop ? it doesn't seem like there is enough room ?

oh and i did one funnel then let it sit and shop vac cool , ate lunch cause my old lady made sandwich's then did one more funnel and it was a 1 1/2 hour project with lunch

ok i used a rubber hose on the rudder end of the cable and then duck tape to atach the hose tightly to the cable then i removed a cup holder in my dash and unhooked the cable from the steering wheel box and ran it up through the cup holder so it was 3 ft higher than the back.... then found a funnel that fit ovet the cable and used tape to keep it from leaking , then turned shop vac on and poured some hot ATF into the funnel and started working it in and out about 3 too 4 inches intill it got easy'r and easy'r and checked the shop vac for ATF , once i poured and worked it enough too see atf i stoped and was suprised how much water came out of the cable. its all back together and i can now one finger the wheel

So my tru trac is very very hard too turn , i removed the rudder and greased it and no diffrence..... unhooked the cable and wow the old grease sure gets hard so i was reading about this soaking it in trans fluid and thought ok i will give it a shot but didn't want too pull cable out so in my craftyness i used my shop vac and reduced the one end and duck taped it too the rudder end , unhooked the steering end and raised it as high as i could , atached a funnel and filled it with trans fluid and with shop vac on worked the cable back and forth till the fuil was gone !!!! and now its one finger turning !!!!! it took filling the funnel 2 times to get it too come out the other end but was way easyer then removing and soaking for 2 weeks

yes it is a ford 351windsor , power craft marine engine , the oil is over a inch past full.... remember how much you boat took when you changed it ??? it was fresh when i bought it

the guy a bought my boat from said he had the manual but lost it when i went too get it , any chance your boat has a 351w ? could you tell me how long your dip stick is ?

So i bought my first boat , nice clean tru trac , when i check my oil it showes way past full and im not sure if some one fu@#ed up or too me it looks like a car dipstick ? if i hold the dipstick beside the tube out of the side of the oil pan it touches the botom of the pan so full would be 2 inches of oil in the pan? Some one who has the 351w in there boat please measure your dip stick total length and full length so i can check mark and or drain oil out of mine and get on the water again , thanks in advance what a awsome boat

i will dig my manual out and scan it for ya
