Post 35 gtr intake replacement
Have a 35 gtr delta level 3. The stock briggs part of the intake between the cylinders broke into two pieces. Do I go back with stock or does anyone make a aftermarket one that is stronger. Thanks in advance

That's the first time I've heard of one breaking. I would replace it with another Briggs piece. Make sure your prop is not wired and causing vibrations. It would be nice to add a carb support of some kind but I know that intake sets the carb up pretty high

I've seen one, and now heard of yours. Stronger probably isnt necessary. The one I saw was involved in a tree/broken transom/boat flip incident. Stronger probably wouldn't have mattered since there was so much other engine/frame carnage lol.

Btw, on a completely unrelated subject and to stir things up, that boat had no flotation, and we all decided that's why the boat wrecked and came apart. [WINKING FACE]

Has to be a manufacturer flaw. Just get another and keep going. Seen plenty of them "torqued" due to milled heads and none broken.

ordered a new stock on today. The motor does vibrate alot. But gets smoother with every pass on the sand bar.
