Use a tight fitting soft vinyl hose to cover the bleeder and run it BELOW the hyd fluid level in one bottle. At the helm...

    XB2002 Chopper or ET?

    Depends on the load, but the ET should work fine on the 02. The Mercury big ear choppers DO tend to break propshafts when surfaced (high propshaft height). On the 03, we've found the ET to be fast w/o load and the chopper2 or big ear to be fast with load. I'd plan on 7000 rpm or just under...

    Chris Alby had his up for grabs last year. You might want to check the Byuboyz site and scroll back through the posts. I have his number, I'll let him know you're looking for one.

    Buffing textured finish

    A long time XB2002 owner taught me a nice cheap trick to keep the textured areas in front and on the port and starboard step areas in back looking great. Scrub brush with baking soda to remove the old wax that may be trapped. Buy a can of clear spray paint. Done. Clean and reapply with...

    280 rebuild time

    Jas, Sorry if you took the reply wrong. Its just that people on some boards like to get into a pissing match over Jay at times, one board loves him, one board is not super fond of him and I did not want to see the thread go downhill. I wasn't trying to bossy, just stating some options. And...

    Backup Prop Suggestion ...please.

    Most of the replies are from guys running GS's/ XB2003's. Lighter, smaller hull than yours. You also did not say if you are running the small or big hub Trophy. The small hub is the better runner, but not enough blade area for your hull IMO. The Trophy is really not more prone to cracking than...

    CLE 15" 4 hole RH

    These would need a nosecone to run really fast on an Allison. Good to around 95mph safely. We have 2 CLE's, both 15" SS ready to run. Both are 1.87 RH full skeg fresh water with HD (aka Sportmaster) internals. 1.250 propshaft (not fatshaft) etc. One is off of an Allison SS w/225Pmax and has...

    Marty......I have one of your 280 blocks from a few years back and its not stock ;) I think you ran Lake Racer with it maybe? Replated one. I have to agree on the rings. Some of the guys building like to sell things they can mark up> pistons, bearings, shipping, machine work. Usually just...

    Modified AMS....SVS crusher

    This is a very strong running intake. I have 2 and we are keeping one. Modified like a Mercury style SVS with the plenum holes to make a consistent strong vacuum signal to the ecu. These also have the entrance area angle cut to give a velocity stack effect and they allow the flow to curve...

    I don't have a clue what to do

    If it won't even plane, are you sure its just one cylinder? Have you got the coil primary wires backwards, 1,3,5 and 2,4,6 mixed up? Usually anything under 3000 is a low speed stator if you eliminate the coils, plugs, wires and they are functional OR more than one is acting up. Check the...

    280 rebuild time

    Excellent info in this post for you to chew on. I totally agree and as I mentioned already, leave the 280 alone unless you are doing a few MINOR things to it. Don't do the huge 2 or 3 way rod slots, the motor never sees enough rpm to benefit enough to compensate for the bottom end you kill...

    Catfish123 , you are dead on spot. Perception can be reality to some folks. As long as the customer is happy I guess. Wheels, Bling, Curb feelers and neon lights abound.... ;) Some people sell the product better than others and some people build actual winning motors and never promote their...
