Greybeard is right-on with keeping it simple. I do have electronic ignition on my engines, but I do still have the mechanical fuel pumps. All that electricity in that enclosed compartment with those 2 hot engines and 160 gallons of gasoline under the floor. Sea-sickness gets a whole new meaning when you are upside down with your head between 2 hot motors trying to fix a problem in 6 foot seas also.
I live and boat in South Louisiana in the Gulf Of Mexico.
One other thing that may need to be considered is the air intake temperature. It will be up to 20- 30 degrees higher than ambient due to the enclosed engine box. Don't know if that makes a difference or not, I am still learning an awful lot about engines in general.
