If you would like the performance and safety of glass reeds at less expense and risk you might give ours a try...125$ for a full set with a three year(BBC members) no fault warrantee,Chris

Chris,
If I begin to use the boat at least 2 times a year again now that my boys are 11 and 9 I will upgrade the entire motor. Meanwhile stock reed ......

Do you sell the intake gasket?

Any help on the below ?
Questions:
On the bottom for the top intake (for 4 cylinders) there is a nipple for a hose. Where does this go to or come from?
On the bottom of the intake for the last 2 cylinders there I anther nipple ..... same question??????

There is a nipple on the airbox.......

Lastly and of greatest concern: A nipple immediately under the intakes looks like around base of the crank with a hose coming from it but laying loose and not connected to anything.

I'll vouch for this. I've had Carson reeds on my engine for a couple of years now, I've seen a definite improvement in idle quality. And Chris will take the time to answer any questions you might have about installation.

Well then I just may get me a set.

I have been running Chris' reeds in my 04 225 HO for almost a year now and have not had any issues. I have put 30-40 hrs on them.

If the nipple is in the middle of the intake there is a cap that goes over the nipple. THIS MUST BE CAPPED. The nipple is not connected to any hose. Use Evinrude for your parts lookup and your shop manual for your hose routing. There are plenty of online parts stores that sell the parts. The air box has a nipple on the bottom for one hose and there is another hole on the top of the airbox for the other hose.

What is the purpose of the 2 hoses ?

There is only one nipple on the bottom of the airbox There is a 1/2" hole at the top.
