You need the pickups and the tubing that properly fits those pickups. Building the manifold would simply allow a piece of PVC to be tapped by...
Build a manifold with a simple ball valve on the opposite end of the suction, use it to vent the suction relief as needed. Once set, it's set....

I've been fortunate to have had no failures on the Ultra's over the past 20 years or so. Four are aboard now, with two spares tucked away. My...

Good. Check the rudder posts, too, while you're at it. Well overlooked and neglected. Curious that your start up/idle temp was 180. Seems like...
You should also be checking the shaft rotation while on the hill. Cutlass bearings can swell and bind, causing you a few hundred RPM. Ive seen...
Well, to be fair he corrected that issue with some healthy snark.
