    Is the scuff in the graphic only? I am not to concerned about the cracked seat. I see that the carpeting is out, does it come with the boat? I see it has the shipping cover. By the looks of it there is no mooring covers. Are there any other upgrades I am missing besides the subwoofer and...

    Warm Water Exit on H.O.'s

    Thanks @Murf'n'surf, @maboat , and @Julian . I know it is not a full indication of cooling. Trying to make a long story short I am using a vx110 head. The cooling is slighting different in the head vs. the High Output head. So, I have been watching for any signs of problems.

    Warm Water Exit on H.O.'s

    You do not need to measure. I have one that basically dribbles out and the other has a little more pressure behind it. I was figuring it was from resistance from the longer run, but being a very new engine I am on the cautious side. So, I was more looking for verification than exacts! Can...

    Warm Water Exit on H.O.'s

    I know that our boats have two sets of "pee" holes on the star board side. One is to show that the engine is cooling and the other shows that the exhaust is. Here is my question. When in no wake mode do the engine cooling pee holes (should be the rear most set) appear to have the same amount...

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    I have done this project again. Only this time I used a vx110 block AND a vx110 head. I learned a lot more than what I already had known. The heads appear to be the same. They use the same valve, valve springs, etc. Very economical way to do this if you have the know how. @Joe Current are...

    Help! Mystery starting problem

    Be glad you have the 140 hp engines. Life isn't quite this easy with the high output engines :) Either way, nice job! I broke mine in by pushing as much water as I could at the lowest rpm possible..... 4k seems to work well. But again, that is a touch different on mine. You may want to...

    Pulling my Jet pumps -- Any advice

    Don't adjust the throttle position sensor. You could cause all kinds of hard by doings so. Even little things could pop up.... no wake mode not working as an example. You should really look at the impeller from the back side as well. There should not be much room between the impeller and...

    2006-230HO ECU Part #

    May I ask why you are searching for an ecu? I assume you have problems. Are you sure it is the ECU?

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    I believe they were the same length. I should have both rods at home that I can inspect this further.

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    @Joe Current Thing runs great. I think it is about time I see all of the extra parts that I have (gear reduction, stator, damaged 160 block, etc.) It's a shame I didn't get it out that much this year. I took on to many other projects. Was flipping tow vehicles so I could have something a...

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    @Joe Current The 160 rods are different than both the vx 110 and the fx 140. I can't note the strength portion. But there was a big difference in weight between the the 110 and 160. The 160 was much lighter, as were the pistons. As for the oil cooler bolts, I must have misworded that. It...

    Here it is ANOTHER subwoofer question?

    Are you looking to make other boats shake, or are looking for good sound? I am happy with sound i get. It can be loud if i want it too be. I mounted the box to the boat to prevent it from sliding and so that it resonates through the hull. I am sure IB subs sound good. I just dont want it...

    No Wake Mode <won't engage-adjust throttle stop screw>

    I haven't had it on the water recently to do much trouble shooting. I plan to try and tackle this on the hose tomorrow. That is a good idea. But if my theory holds true, it won't matter! I do not have any warning lights.

    No Wake Mode <won't engage-adjust throttle stop screw>

    I have one engine that the no wake mode does not function on. Does anyone know if it will not work if the Throttle Position Sensor is showing even the slightest throttle? I have been working on adjusting idle speed, and I am worried that that turning the throttle screw is creating a condition...

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    2 hours on the engine! All is going well! I just have to figure out why the No Wake Mode is not working on the new engine side. I ran into @JERRY TERRONES on the lake.

    110HP block is interchangable with the 160HP block.....

    ITS ALIVE......AGAIN...... LOL I first started it last week Wednesday. I ran it for about ten minutes on the hose. Last night I brought it to the lake and left it on the trailer. I ran it for over 20 minutes. All seems to be good with the engine. The engine seems a touch quieter than last...

    What do you use to tow your boat?

    Just so that everyone else can feel OK if they don't have as nice of a tow vehicle as most of these..... This is mine! It was to cheap to pass up. 2002 F250 with the V10 and 98k miles. $4900

    White noise through speakers??

    Making it short and sweet... but basically the same as above. If you have dual batteries, make sure the amp and HU are not grounded to separate batteries. (ground loop) After that I would disconnect the RCAs to see if the noise goes away. That should quickly help determine whether or not is...
