When I bought the boat, the port side valve cover hole (I believe this is the breather, PCV is on other side) did not have a hose running to the arrestor. My question is, what type of fitting goes in that hole, and along with that, what size/type of hose do I need to run to the arrestor? I'm assuming these are all simple auto/hardware store items.
Forgive me as I will probably ask a lot of pretty simple questions that could probably be answered if I were to just look at my boat, but unfortunately it's about 130 miles away in a nice heated storage area, for free I might add. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |

I think it's just a breather to the outside air, 1/4 turn or a push-in thru a rubber grommet depends on the valve cover. ------------- - waterdog - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3896&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - 78 Ski Tique |

I'm not sure of the exact size, maybe 1/2" ID...possibly 5/8". Mine had a steel fitting in the valve cover and I ran the hose down by eye. Both ends of this hose in the pic were longer when I bought it. I just looked through a selection, but I have no idea of its intended use.

HW-Is that a thermostat laying on the SB valve cover? And why is the PCV attached to the front? My wedge plate has the port on the rear. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Yea, looks like a t-stat to me.
You have a wedge plate? I suppose if it is just a flat plate it could be put on one of 4 ways. ------------- |

I was told by someone who should know that my wedge was factory equipment. It brings the carb close to level. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Remember, Chris- he has a BBC, not a SBF... but I have never seen a PCM of any type with a wedge. ------------- |

Maybe someone with a 'virgin' 454 in my year range can take a peek at their's?
Not to 'sling any mud', but this guy really should know.  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

I believe mine has a wedge from the factory. Can't see it in this picture, other than the difference in angle between the head and the carb. it's tucked in right now so I can't check it.  ------------- 👣 Steve http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4057&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1986&yrend=1986" rel="nofollow - 86 Barefoot Nautique 89 Martinique Former Owner: 93 Hydrodyne 350 MAG |

Sorry to bring this back from the dead... As we put the finishing touches on assembling our OMC 454, I cant put my hands on the darn breather elbow...
A quick call to SkiDIM revealed a part number: R024013A Its a pricey elbow at $12, but at least I know it will fit in our grommet! ------------- |

Blast from the past. Forgot I even asked about that.
I believe I ended up finding one at O'Reilly's (2 years ago) that probably isn't the exact OEM elbow, but it fit the bill at <$5. It was in with all the other PCV valves and fittings. It fit the grommet nicely. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |
