    Trim pump wiring help

    Just put the motor back on and it spins so cleaning it worked. Tomorrow I will put the solenoid back on and test the system again

    Trim pump wiring help

    Yes, I grounded the black wire and jumped 12v to each wire and nothing happened. I took the motor off and it was real dirty so I cleaned everything with 00 sand paper and electrical contact cleaner. I ran through the tests in the manual with my multimeter and all checked out after cleaning...

    Trim pump wiring help

    I did some testing on my trim pump. I press the buttons and get nothing. The connections back there look bad so I am going to clean and replace. I jumped power through the solenoid and got a click and then continuity. So that seems ok. -i jumped 12v to the terminal that connects the blue...

    Yeah, moving the filler isnt the worst thing in the world. Right now its in a bad spot, not easy to get to from the side or the windshield opening. At least when I move it i will have an easier time filling it up. For now though I have it in and will go through that headache in the off...

    73 Sea Ray restoration

    I tried that option unfortunately it wont work for my set up. I had some 1.5" exhaust elbows I was going to plumb in. To get enough hose on the elbow to get 2 clamps on the fill the gas has to run uphill to get to the tank. I have to 90 it right away then it runs uphill to get to the 90 off...

    I got the navigation lights wired and working. I installed the tank the way it was originally (For the time being). I bought all the hoses I need but there is no way to plumb the filler hose with out bad angles for filling or kinking the hose. So I am going to have to move the fuel fill over a...

    73 Sea Ray restoration

    I adjusted the choke and it fired and ran good when throttled up. It stumbles and dies when in neutral but that is just some adjustments. The motor sounded great while running which made the captain happy, she wants the boat in the water now! Nothing like a timeline from someone else, but at...

    Should I get this FREE project boat?

    I appreciate it! That rust in the picture is where the carb should be sitting. The hoses look like splotches in the dust from rain hitting dirt/dust (to me at least). Things getting "stolen the weekend before" seems convenient. More than likely the owner sold some parts off of a bad motor...

    Well I got the fuel system all hooked up. I used the primer bulb from my outboard and hooked it up to the end of the fuel hose and pulled fuel to the end and hooked it into the fuel pump. After that I unhooked the fuel line going to the carb and gave her a quick crank to make sure fuel came...

    Should I get this FREE project boat?

    Welcome, Price out boats of similar size. Expect a couple thousand replacing out drive and depending on exactly what is missing. The motor appears to have not been covered and rained on. Which means an entire new deck and interior. More than likely stringers and transom also. Plus new...

    73 Sea Ray restoration

    I have the motor all wired up, I cranked it over to make sure it rolled over good, had a good strong spark coming from each plug with the tester. Tomorrow I am going to hook up the fuel and use a cut garden hose with a shutoff valve straight into the water port in the bell housing to fingers...

    Trying to Find Windshield Mount Bracket

    Welcome, Chances are unless you find some on ebay you wont find them. You can try calling taylor made, but it is a 60 year old bracket so chances are very little.

    Check the wire connections make sure they are shiny and tight. If they are check the resistance in the wire possibly corrosion in the wire

    Well I have to motor back in finally! Taking a .5" off of the motor mount worked fantastic. It aligned perfect. I still have to install the engine harness after I change all the connections. Hopefully I will have that done tomorrow, but I was in and out of the boat a million times today so...

    Possible project boat? StarCraft Islander

    Welcome, Outside covered properly or outside with a torn harbor freight tarp over the top? People do not usually give a good condition boat away for $500. Trailers are only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, could be $2500 or $25 depending on if somebody buys it or it sits until you...

    Trim pump wiring help

    So I started going through miles of wire that has been hacked into multiple times by people who shouldnt own a wrench let alone do electrical on a boat (sorry for the rant😁). The pump is a presolite if that helps. One line from the bellhousing runs into the bottom of the pump and the other...
