Composite Performance Reeds
FOR

These kits contain all the reed parts need to replace the reeds in your motor.

You may need new reed block gaskets, which we can supply on request, depending on condition of the originals. Gasket price and quantity required vary depending on the motor in question.

Outboard manufacturers typically have the reeds riveted in placed, and replacements are usually sold only as (expensive) complete reed blocks. The reeds, besides being much less expensive, offer performance gains when accelerating from a stop. The illustration below shows the typical 2-stage design of Boyesen reeds (this drawing is actually typical of Johnson-Evinrude V6  Loop-charged motors but the design concept is common to nearly all of these reeds). The kit replaces ALL reeds on a motor. Gaskets are not included.
