New to ifish, but have a 20' NR Trapper w/ Kodiak. Have ordered several parts from KEM(do it yourselfer) and have had promt and knowledgable service. They even will give you information on upgrades. Don't remember who I spoke w/, just the parts and service departments :smile:

I have nothing but good to say about KEM. I bought a used Kodiak 5.7L TBI engine from an ebay seller, and KEM gave me alot of good and free information. They have been very good at helping me troubleshoot a few fuel issues (fuel pump related) even though they had very little to gain by helping me.

Bill,


Are you getting a larger engine? Or diesel engine? Whats the reason for your engine overhaul?

It seems the original 5 litre lost a piston due to a faulty knock sensor. The original block would be a good long block for a smaller boat and not a tunaholic. It does have some salt exposure but only 288 hours. I went with a 5.7 due to long fishing runs and less engine work. The 5.0 ran great, smooth and reliable while she ran. The original 5.0 ran good till I noticed a problem and shut her down, then got home on the honda. Shes not beat up and very rebuildable.
PM me if interested.

Nothing but :bowdown: :bowdown:. Make sure you talk to Randy. He even let me try out impellors before I bought one.
