Looks great! Congrats!

Stay Safe with the fires; they suck.

Thoughts on routing the tank outlet straight or at 90 degrees? There will be less head for the pump to pump if i use the 90. Would not want anyone to step on it though. The hose would get routed along hte back. I i use the straight then the house would get routed up under the covering boards. The ho...

Thanks for the tips Jim and Carl. For now I will forgoe the spring as it seems to be working well. Smooth operation and no binding with a snug rope. Over the past few days I got the gas tanks ready to install. On the bottom of the tanks I 5200ed some 1/4" FRP . I also 5200ed any gaps between the mou...

Here’s what happens when a fuel filter leaks on top of the engine. It was a rough day.

Yep, same thing happened to my friends Cougar; did you fix it up? I will stick with the one remote mounted filter / water separator.

You nailed the water line with your stripe. Looks great in the video.

Glad its not too smokey where you are at.

Jamie - Congrats on the successful run!

Same here I just have a water separator/filter like Paul shows. On the suction side just before the fuel pump.

Thanks Rich - Good to know, that makes my life easier.

Why do you need another filter in addition to the Fuel filter/water separator? My 1991 351 donor motor didn’t have any filtration after the water separator filter.

I thought that I did (per coast guard pic), but maybe not; I am open to suggestions.

Started a new thread here to discuss Fuel Filter options.

Here are some inks to marine-rated fuel filters and heads. Thanks Paul! So do you have a water separator before the pump and a water separator after the pump? What is throwing me off is that the filter you linked (GLM 24940) says it is a water separating filter (but it does not have a bowl). Would ...

Any recommendations for a marine rated gasoline fuel filter? This will be the post-pump filter for my 250 Hp Chevy 327. I will have a water separator before the pump, 60Gph, 10Micron. It says it can only be installed before the pump on the suction side as it is only rated for 1.5PSI working pressure...

I installed the steering cable today and it works. I have 2 turns of the wheel lock-to-lock (720 deg). The rope is pretty snug but not guitar string tight. I see that some boats have springs for tension, from what I have read it is to allow outboards to tilt (they need a variable length rope vs moto...

Looking good Carl, How much headroom will you have in there? Is it enough to stand up?

Congrats on getting some wood cut out!

I took a look at the Mist Miss pics and was surprised to see that she looks really similar to my 16' Ski Boat restoration.

I am eager to see her take shape!

I installed the reworked rudder. I fabricated the angle bracket and the epoxy encapsulated wooden angle spacer, they were bedded with 4200 I bought and installed a new bearing (Sealmaster SF-16 3C) I had a 1/4" keyway machined in the rudder and tiller at a locla machine shop. It only had a setscrew ...
