Dennis that is real close to what I have. I plugged where the hoses went in and replaced the cap #9 with the filter. Would this make any difference. The second diagram is the one

Skibum the hose fittings on my adapter are on the side of the unit not on the cap when I removed the thread on cap there was a fitting that the oil filter was able to screw on to

Dennis I left the adapter on the block and removed the hoses and plugged the inlet and outlet on the adapter there is a threaded cap on the end of the adapter which I removed and threaded the filter in it's place

Can someone let me know if I remove my hoses from the oil adapter and plug the inlet and outlet remove the cap and screw on a filter would this restrict the oil flow to the heads

Hi Barry, I have a 1982 srv 245 cuddy fisherman it is a nice heavy boat getting it re-powered right now trying to get ready for halibut fishing off of washington coast this may. haven't seen but 1 on the net so far in florida they seem pretty rare I'll post some pics as soon as I get her back if...

To answer your question Ron. When I ran ob's I had a 140 and replaced it with a 175 the top speed was only 5mph faster but out of the hole it planed twice as fast but there was a big difference on fuel consumption on the 175 it was like I was over powered

thanks for your reply's I will talk to my builder today

the 305 was about $700 cheaper than the 350 from the same builder I am hoping to get better fuel consumption out of the 305 with the 300 hp he told me the 350's he builds put out 340hp I thought 300hp from the 305 would be enough power I've ran ob's for many years don't know to much about ib/ob's

I am replacing a 350 cracked block 260hp with a 305 vortec 300hp on a 24.8 cr w/a any body have any imput on this replacement

I just bought this 245 sea ray w/a I have noticed Barry has one. Barry could you tell me what engine and outdrive you have. thanks Rods Rod
