    Default porting reed blocks on a 59ci merc

    hi guys i was wondering if anyone has tried porting the reed blocks on 59ci merc?
    i was thinking of giving it a go.
    my idea was to remove the brige between the ports and just have one big reed valve instead of the 3 petals on either side.
    do you reckon this would work?
    anyone have any other ideas?
    thanks for any info.

    I tried it. Did not make any difference. In fact the reeds would not hold up as long because of no support in the middle

    We make single stage reeds for most outboards,they differ from the others in material as Rees as how they are cut, and they aren't dual stage,chris
