Looks good!
I have to say though, from the looks in these photos it appears that you didn't angle the motor to match the drive line. Those headers should be level unless you have a one off pair. Besides that just from looking at the motor it appears the motor plates were made to keep the motor at the same height. You want the rear of the motor lower to get that drive line more inline. it is an easy fix.
Also, it is hard to tell from the photo, but you should have some loc washers on the bolts that connect the two drive line pieces together.
Oh, and the water inlet line from the pump, what is all of that brass there. I see a valve, and I think a gauge... what else do you got going on there?
I am not trying to piss you off or stir the pot, just pointing out what stood out to me.
Looks good though and good luck

The angle of the motor is exactly 4 deg, which is what the pump angle is set at. The drive line is not even bolted up to the pto flange. Lock washers are not needed when using steel lock nuts. As far as the headers being level they are somewhat level. Water inlet line is as follows ball valve ( to shut water off at the pump), pressure guage( to monitor water feed line pressure to the engine), Garden hose fitting( to run water to the engine while boat is on the trailer) pressure relief valve ( to dump exess line pressure and save my head gaskets). jet boat cooling 101. any other ?'s , comments , or anything else wrong in the pictures.
Thanks for your concerns though

yeah i got one, dam dude are you rich???:D :D

[Outlaw]

Nice Install ... must be a bronco fan..
the only thing I would do different : I would put the pressure relief on the intake manifold next to the
thermostat outlet, i'm just thinking it it bypassed
your engine would not be without water, it would only
bypass water pressure in the motor.
just my opinion...

I just noticed the zip-tie and it not being bolted up would make sense, but you could see where the illusion would make someone think otherwise. Like I said I wasn't trying to start anything, and if there was something I did that someone felt concerned about, I would want to know because it never hurts to have another pair of eyes looking at something your working on.
As for anything else wrong with the photos... so far just one thing. Its not on the water :)

That's a great idea, I think I might move it to that location. I will more than likely run it the way it is this season and see how it works.
