Carb opinions, for a holley marine carb
 
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

Holleys are great carbs. Infinitley tuneable and highly reliable. Very
simple beasts, too. If you get one I recommend buying some books on them.

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.
