    Converting from Thru Hull to Corsa Call

    Re: Converting from Thru Hull to Corsa Call Here is another picture. It looks like a hose from the thermostat housing runs into the chrome exhaust plumbing. So that has to be a wet exhaust doesnt it? I sure hope so. Otherwise, yeah its gonna be loud. When I looked at it, I think I...

    Converting from Thru Hull to Corsa Call

    Re: Converting from Thru Hull to Corsa Call I do not think there are any risers or elbows on these engines. Here is a pic (hopefully they work). It looks like the chrome or SS exhaust plumbing bolts right to the manifolds and then out the transom. Thanks, Matt

    Trim Sender Question

    Hello, I have a 1995 Sea Ray with a Mercruiser 5.0L and Alpha 1. It is my first boat, and I am very happy with it so far (if all this rain would stop and the lake level would go down so my marina slip isn't under water any more). Anyways, I have a problem with the trim sender and gauge...

    Boats with Thru-Hull Exhaust

    Hello, I do not own a boat (yet) but I hope to someday. I have been on a few friend's boats and I am hooked. I know I want a powerboat with a V8 and thru-hull exhaust. I just love the sound (comes from my automotive/racing background I suppose). I also like bowrider/openbow style...
