Photo 9:   Closer look at the water-lift muffler,
                 dripless shaft seal and Drive Saver (in
                 red).  The water-lift muffler must be
                 mounted as close to the boat's centerline
                 as possible.  A shelf must be built to
                 mount this type of water-lift muffler. The
                 shaft seal is clamped to the stern tube.
                 The stern tube is glassed into the hull
                 behind the shaft seal.

Photo 10:  View of Racor fuel filter and electrical fuel
                  pump. You will not need the electric fuel
                  pump if a siphon effect can be made in the
                  fuel line.  The fuel filter must be mounted
                  lower than the injector or air leaks will
                 develop and the engine will die.
