I have to ask this because it seems you don't know what the inside of the exhaust cavity of a OMC looks like? For one, each cylinder dumps directly into its own exhaust pipe should I say header pipe, on that particalure bank (which there is three), then dumps in a single opening for that side(Collector), same go's for the other side. then it go's in to a tuner(Collector extension). The two different blocks are open deck and closed deck. One has bigger ports then the other. I did find this out by making a few phone calls. All I needed was the resource's to get this going and I found them. Thank you guy's. It's been a bumpy road from the start but life is not easy. If I came off sounding arrogant, I'm sorry, I miss place words or type the wrong words and sound that away. In the futhure if I do the same please ask me to reword it to not to sound arrogant. I don't know everything but I do have the resource's to have things done and I need some guidence at times.

Had a lot help from a lot of good people! The latest part of the project is getting close to completed. We managed to make a trim system that is much faster. Reduced the time from fully tucked under to neutral, 2.5-3 seconds to about 1 second. The boat is more manageable and quicker now on take off.
Beginning of last year

Third and last day of tuning at Havazoo, Az.
Last year at Lake Shasta, Ca.

WAR10 May 2010 Trim was to slow to tuck under and take off, boat just laid on it's side until trim caught up.
Last weekend after fixing two problems.

New trim system.
Same

Single ram on 24 volts.
Now I have to slow down the 12 volt system because it's too fast to fine tune the trim. Have a coil of 10 guage wire probably 30' long with a tap at probably 20'. Drops the voltage = slows the trim pump motor.
I have ordered a speed controller(Pulse Modulation) so I can fine tune it and not burn up the trim motor.
A special thanks to Dave, Andy and Stan and numerous others that have helped on this project.

off topic exhaust tuning 101
For exhaust tuning purposes, most folks think of a V6 as two three cylinders joined with a common crankshaft. Any interaction down in the midscetion where both banks dump has no effect. How the three cylinders in each bank interact is the important part.
This is from an old SAE paper written by two OMC engineers that explains the basics.
Fig 6 shows a port timing diagram for a three cylinder engine firing at 120 degree intervals. The diagram shows that just prior to the closing of the exhaust port of one cylinder, the exhaust port opens in a succeeding cylinder creating a positive pressure pulse in the exhaust manifold. Fig 7 shows the sequence of these positive pressure pulses.

Thanks for the information but The exhaust does'nt look anywhere near like that one picture, it has one pipe per exhaust leading to one on one side and same goes for the other side, the top exhaust goes in a casted aluminum pipe going down, the center goes in casted aluminum pipe going straight foward and the Bottom exhaust goes in a casted aluminum pipe going up which they all join in the center of the exhaust cavity and same goes for the other side, then they have a down spout going down to a tuner which is located in the midsection below the power head. Beside's that the engine does'nt fire all three on one side then goe's to the other side. it's two and one the other side does the samething. so it's firing two on one side and one on the otherside then vise versa. Always having a pulse signal.Gasoline is for washing parts, Alcohol is for drinking, and Nitromethane is for RACING

Barry: Thanks for posting that pic. It is truly amazing how so few people understand what is going on there. It is the heart of of the exceptional performance a 6 cylinder 2 stroke has to offer, or a 3 cylinder for that matter.
gmac, you say it doesnt look like an OMC and you are right.
BUT, you need to study it very carefully, the shape might be slightly different but they do the same thing with the same benefical effect on performance.

Ok, Let me explain something to you, I six pictures of leachs engine as it was first cut then rewelded, sent by monty him self after I talked to him after a hr and a half on my project i want to do, oh by the way ford V-8 1234 ON ONE SIDE THEN 5678 ON THE OTHER SIDE DOES THAT MEAN ITS FIRING THE SAME WAY. THE FIRING ORDER MIGHT BE 123456 BUT I bet the number one cylinder is the opposite side of number two. Dave Bush and I talked for a hr and a half today, trust me,I have been schooled on way the exhaust works and why it will be difficult to get any large amount of power unless we use stinger pipes then we can see some good power and if we can figure out the exhaust like yamaha did on the 2 strokes we could be lookin at 1000+hp and room to play. yes Dave and I talked long and hard about every aspect of this project and the no go's and possiblities. Both Monty and Dave are full of knowledge and I got to pick at it and get information on where to go to get more. Don't get me wrong I'm not a know it all but when I get my information from this guy's, I think there alittle more well tuned then you and I. Yes there is reverse pulse's but not do to what you think, Thats why a stinger pipe will make thee best supercharger effect on the exhaust side. Just call Dave and get schooled and same goes with Monty, call him to and they'll have a very close if not the same thing to say.

Maybe you should look at Yamaha's exhaust on there two strokes compare that to OMC exhaust! As Dave said to me, "If we can get the same exhaust as Yamaha has, the 3.3L would of been 600 hp bone stock." Yes thats what Dave said. now think about that. There making 300 to 385 hp N/A on three cylinders now add 3 more. There turbo two stroke has hit 400 already and it's not on kill yet and it's a three cylinder. So yes two strokes are a wonderful thing if OMC AND MERC would do there homework they could be extremely fast too.
