Sierra Introduces All-New Carburetors For Popular Sterndrive and Inboard Engines

Now, many boat owners can skip the rebuild and simply replace their troublesome old carb with a brand new Sierra carburetor and restore the performance and fuel economy of their engines.

These new carburetors from Sierra are built to original factory specs, and are not rebuilt or remanufactured products. Housings are cast from corrosion resistant aluminium and machined using Sierra’s own specially engineered tooling. Components are anodised and carefully assembled to provide season after season of reliable performance.

“There are thousands of sterndrive and inboard powered boats on the water dating back to the 70s and 80s. Up until now, carb problems on those boats had to be remedied with a rebuild kit and lots of time on the bench,” said Tom Douglass, vice president of sales and marketing for Teleflex Marine. “Our new carbs will save a lot of shop time and get boats back on the water ‘as good as new,’ maybe even better,” he added.

New Sierra carburetors are available in popular MerCarb® 2-barrel and Rochester® QuadraJet® 4-barrel models. (The new Sierra QuadraJet 4-barrel carb is the first all-new carburetor of this type available to boat owners since the 1980s.) Additional models will be available for other engines in 2013. Like all Sierra engine and drive parts, these new carbs are covered by Sierra’s limited lifetime warranty.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
