While looking over the engine fixing the broken impeller and doing oil change I recently purchased, which from a previous post I posted about the overheating issue which Rex helped me with. We found that the carb is a edelbrock performer 600 street model. He recommended not to run the engine do to possibly cause a explosion or fire in the dog house. We wanted to know if this type of carb is ok? Or does anyone know anything about these?

The 1406 is the automotive carb with electric chocke. Not for marine use.
The 1409 would be the correct carb to use in a boat...

Hey Rex I found this site this morning, they are also located in Jax off bowden and I95. Half the price for a rebuilt one. Not to bad.

That will work. Now you can get rid of that "rigging" with the fuel inlet hose. The hard pipe should thread right into the inlet on the Holley. While your at it change the return line so it is "marine fuel rated". Take the bolt out of the top of your flame arrester as it needed replacing. That should square you away on the fuel side.

The main differences between the auto carb and the marine carb (besides jetting being different and wrong, but you could change that) is how auto carbs and marine carbs deal with superfluous fuel. A marine carb takes special care that all leaked or excess gas gets dumped inside the manifold. Automotive carbs are not as concerned with the buildup of gas of fumes in the bilge (as the car has no bilge) and so a small amount of outside leakage, and or float bowl overflow is permitted. You do want to find yourself a proper marine carb, typically on a 351w for a correctcraft that would be the holley, national carb is in fact a great source for a rebuilt one. There is nothing wrong with the edelbrocks, but they tend to need a wedge to run right in a straight inboard application.
If you are going to run the automotive one for any amount of time be very vigilant about ventilation and checking for leaks.
