You won't have any trouble with a holley. They are a very reliable carb.
They are not known for their midrange economy though. Less of an issue on a
boat where the gas consumption is a lot higher anyway.

Hi all,

I am planning to replace the original q-jet carb on my 1987 OMC (Chevy
350) stern drive. I just want to get opinions on the Holley Marine carb
(model 90552). I have basically found a new holley for the price of a
Sierra remanufactured q-jet. Is this an Ok product or have people had
major problems with holley in marine applications?

thanks for the advice, the website for the carb is
