    I have raced up to the mid-6000s or so. You will need a different pack to get rid of the limiter. Look for one that does NOT have the number 6100 printed on it.

    As far as I know, all the sizes are available, so from 59 down to 58. I don't think there's any advantage to going up to a larger jet, unless you're not getting enough fuel where you are now. More...

    The standard from-the-factory jet varies over the years. I've found slight improvement going down one size from that factory jet. Two sizes smaller and the motor falls on its face from idle, but...

    These are the basic measurements I've taken. Although the '70s vintage carbs are slightly smaller in some measurements, I have raced them with no noticeable ill effects.

    I've made mine 20" high. If you mount the motor directly on the motorboard, that turns out to be a reasonable height. If you add a jackplate with a few inches of setback, there's room to go up...

    My experience with small (35hp GT Pro) v-bottoms is jack it up as high as you can without losing water pressure. For a 31.8 OMC without low water pickup, that ends up with the prop shaft about 1.5"...

    Racing GT Pro (OMC 32.8, 30/35hp), I've always had the best results running in the 6400-6800 rpm range. However, the 20hp version of this powerhead is seriously restricted at the intake, so results...

    Try Tim's Outboard in Hackensack, MN. 218-682-2331. They have a large inventory of used parts, and they ship. Make sure the pack does NOT have "6100" printed on it -- that's the limited version.

    The direct approach

    Brent tested his system and reports that it "worked great!" He says he achieved 50 mph with a 30/35 OMC on his Dillon Mini Vee.

    Is the Lenco actuator strong enough to be used in place of a hydraulic cylinder on a "regular" trim system -- at least on a small (25hp - 40 hp) motor?
