    Too many wires

    Re: Too many wires Ok, I traced the wires and here is what I found I have a Rinker 192 bowrider with 4.3L Mercruiser engine. So my noob question is this; How does the alternator charge the battery if its not connected to the positive terminal? Here is my new set up if I have it right

    Too many wires

    I bought this Blue Sea ACR to connect two batteries but the instructions are vague at best. I have one large cable coming from the alternator and four small cables all connected to the positive terminal of the battery. The instructions don't say anything about where to relocate the large...

    Blige pump vs drain plug

    Re: Bilge pump vs drain plug Re: Bilge pump vs drain plug I have a blige switch on the dash but it cuts on and back off by itself when I'm washing the boat. Not sure what type it is because I can only point my camera blindly in it's direction and snap a picture (engine is in the way).

    Blige pump vs drain plug

    Re: Blige pump vs drain plug It's sitting right below the engine. I found it in the owner's manual and took a picture of mine. Should I be concerned that it's not draining that much water?

    Blige pump vs drain plug

    Re: Blige pump vs drain plug You nailed it. The water is coming from the behind the bolt and washer. I will try to find a marine caulk sealer. You would think that roofing/gutter sealer would make a good solution but I'm not sure if it only adheres to metal.

    Blige pump vs drain plug

    Re: Blige pump vs drain plug I think I found the source of the water. My swim deck has two port holes that I think are suppose to be sealed. I stuck the water hose in both of them and water was entering the engine compartment at a gallon per hour rate. Is there a special caulk I should use or...

    Blige pump vs drain plug

    I have a 2008 21' bowrider I bought last year, my first boat. I've noticed the only time the blige pump extracts water is when I'm washing the inside of the boat with a water hose. If I look in the engine compartment there is still a lot of water after the blige pump turns off so I open the rear...

    Spots in vinyl upholstery

    Does anyone know what causes these spots in the upholstery? Is there anyway to clean or remove them? The boat is a 2008 with 60 hrs on it. I tried bleach and other household cleaners but they didn't work.

    Identify loose hose

    Re: Identify loose hose This is the same engine I have in my 2008 Rinker 192. From the picture of another boat with same engine it doesn't look like that hose you highlighted in red is coming out the shift assistant. My eyes are bad though.

    Identify loose hose

    Can anyone tell me if these two hoses should be connected? If so, what part am I missing to join them? They may be used for some option my boat doesn't have.
