Re: 12 Meter Express HUGE Access Hole

I would re-install them

If you scroll through my 13 meter upgrades" thread, it shows where I installed mine

Also if you have "dry" turbos, those puppies get way hot

Find a place to mount it, I installed 2 in my engine room, one on each side

Re: 12 Meter Express HUGE Access Hole

Re: 13 meter upgrades

SHakedown cruise revealed a big exhaust leak on one side of the starboard motor right at the head and manifold, so I figured I just had to replace the gasket. Not quite that simple http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af233/dougnash/2782AE8A-FF85-4567-AC46-F56BE902C653_zps329fyoez.jpg http://i1011.ph...
