Either they couldn't or wouldn't answer my question about crossover pipes. I'm sure some of you guys with theses hot cat boats have them on your motors. My question was, do the motors without the circulating pumps run hotter then normal @ idle? then cool down @ speed. Thanks Jim

are you carb'd or injected? if you run injection leave it the hell alone. you'll never come off cold run condition and it'l mess with the computer's mixture settings. if your carb'd i like it better. it's cleaner, plenty of flow and i can adjust it by how much water i dump overboard so i never over pressure the engines.

I'm carberated. I haven't had the boat off the lift yet because the seat is out, so I don't know what it will do under power. I still have the rubber hoses going from the thermostat housing to the header manifold so I can feel when the stat opens and the hose fills with water and when the temp gets too 180 the hose collaspes like if the stat closes.
