tower for my merc

[RichardKCMo]

Or at least cut an exhaust hole in it ...

Stock 44 can be run in D Mod as long as it has no mods to ports or extenal exhaust, too bad most courses are so short.

Merc and Bass to name a couple. Just some info, "if" you are "thinking" of wanting to race mod, it would be much cheaper to buy a complete used mod engine than building once from scratch (using your powerhead). The cheapest racing lower unit you can buy is a "stock" Yamato 302, costs about $470, which does not have a water pump, otherwise expect to spend upwards of $1000 or more........

if just for play, stay away from open stacks or you are gonna get kicked off your local lake/river/etc...........due to noise..........

When you start a motor with stacks you dont need to tell em to hold their ears, theyll sqweeze the sides of their heads automaticly lol. Even little 2 bangers are way loud. An adapted motorcycle type tuned exhaust?? [still gonna cost to get a good result and as said again - a crap shoot.

A Bass foot is real good but the pump is in the tower, then you need precision machine work. $$$ The Merc D foot ?? Id be patient and vigilant about all this. A stick tower for shipping?? It dont get better than that if you can do it.

C'mon man, you ought to know that...


Here's a sound file from Beloit Wi a while back. I was racing against a couple stock 44xs's and another 44mod. The other mod had supertrapp mufflers on his pipes, so I was the only real loud (and fast)one.
These were the pipes that I just sold on eBay.

In NBRA , i forgot to say the 40s are mostly modded up but stock 44s can also run in D, 44 mods run in E in this org.
