    • So, the previous owner removed the heater in favor of placing a large subwoofer in the driver's footwell area. My plan is to move that subwoofer over to the battery locker on the port side which has just enough room to still access the batter switch.

      I'm looking for help re-connecting the heater hosing from the engine to the heater. The previous owner left some of the hose in place but it looks in pretty rough condition so I plan to replace it. See here and here for images of the detached hoses I found that was left inside the engine compartment.

      Can anyone please help me confirm where the intake and return hoses should be connect? I'm assuming it the two places that are capped off as shown here?

      Also, are there any minimum spec requirements for the heater hose? It seems like silicone is more durable than rubber, so is something like this going to last the longest?

      Any help is much appreciated as always.

      Thanks,

      Jordan

      I’d go titan over monster if not cost prohibitive. If I’m understanding correctly and he might still make you one. 
      Buddy has a monster and it’s ok. Another friend who had a titan it just seemed more solid. YMMV. 
       

      is Skylon still making towers? That could be another option.

      Check if you have at least 1.5” of clearance and go to an 18” prop . The lt4 can handle a 18x16 .120 cup at 6100’ on a t250 with 12 people . Surfs low rpm and will top over 50 if you’re crazy 

      18x16 sounds like a speed prop. Does it idle 10mph?  6100’ sounds like Jordanelle. I’ve never launched there.

      I've heard that on the LT4 you have to consider the idle speed when in gear...it can turn such a big prop that you can be idling at ~10 mph. You have to come in and out of gear a TON when docking, etc. Just something to keep in mind!

      Interesting, I have not heard this. This points to the low speed performance.  

    • I emailed ACME and they told me they recommend 3/4” minimum clearance. I have 1.25” with the 1778. So I should have 3/4” with an 18” prop.
