Turbinedoctor, except for the head gasket and freeze plugs, there are no differences between an automotive 350 Chevy and a marine 350. The newest of the new marine motors from GM have hardened exhaust valve seat inserts but are otherwise identical to their automotive crate motor equivalents. Most automotive motors come with brass freeze plugs, anyways.

The accessories are what make the difference. Marine carburetors have bent float bowl vents that dump the gas inside of the carb as stated earlier. All marine electronics are ignition protected. Marine distributors do not have vacuum advance. Marine ciruclating water pumps have stainless steel impellers and shafts. Marine fuel hose has a low permeability to fuel vapors.

Everything else is interchangeable between automotive and marine.

just saw pictures of your boat and have one opinion and one question

my opinion is your throttle is backwards and my question is how hard was it to put that step ladder on the bow i need that for when i beach my boat.
 
Throttle Backwards???? tell me more. It was like that when I got it.


The Bow ladder was easy. A couple of pieces of marine grade oak, recess the back so the plate will fit and the bolt through the deck with plates under neithe.

The ladder is bolted through the oak into a plate to spread the load. The plates under the deck spread the load down there.
 
your binacle it is suposed to have the long part facinv ethe starboard side not the port side. did you buy the boat new?? or used.

thanks for theinfo on the ladder i am in the process of a semi over hall on the deck and dash so what 200 dollars more.
