    10 Ton Hydraulic Battery Cable Lug Terminal Crimper

    I had to make up a few cables today and was curious about the cross section after the press and the band saw was close......I reckon it's a decent low resistance connection :) For this price and occasional use, not too bad of a tool to have in the shop.

    Is this sending unit installed correctly?

    Sry ya got taken.........Your port head should already be milled out for temp gauge hardware as seen below. So as perhaps another option than trying to get that thing to fit (probably no big deal but.....), You could go HERE and buy items 28, 29 and 30 and install them as seen above and...

    Battery charging current from 75A alternator

    Here's what ya might do depending on your alts performance curve (or lack there of) as some manu's don't give them out, perhaps auto-zone might make ya one on yours if you don't know and ya can go from there, you could be good as it is and already be running a 7SI or similar, however........ If...

    Battery charging current from 75A alternator

    Depends on the amp hours (ah) rating of your batteries, your specific type of alt, type of batt and internal resistance, the alt's specific shaft rpm at idle, depth of dis-charge, etc.......Guessing thou, idle is going to take a tad bit of time, if possibly not work at all! As a rough example...

    Wiper Motors

    I suppose you can't rotate the motor 90 degrees? or....... Typically there is a micro or similar like switch (those cut wires go to this looks like) that's actuator rides along an offset cam somewhere in the gears of the motor. This micro switch is electrically wired in parallel with the main...

    In floor 12v plug??

    Thinking your options are pretty limited for the enviro, positioning and the feng shui you require. BUT, back when I wore a younger man's clothes and did a few things underwater, I started thinking about what you are attempting and what we might have used of connectors in similar'ish...

    Bilge Float Switch Inop After Blue Sea Add A Battery Installation

    It does look like as if your drawing is a tad off else you would have never been able to shut off the pump, however it does seem from your drawing you might have a system similar to mine with a single position manual override switch at the helm and not a three-way switch as grub has...

    wiring aerator switch and recirc switch

    I think I read correctly what you're saying and I've gave it by best shot, I don't have your boat's wiring obviously!...But, If close then this might help/get a start............Else, I can try to edit based on more info. **Switches are center position off, pin 7's, main fuses/switch and the...

    1995 Black Max 150 grounding cable - is it necessary?

    I have to respectfully disagree Duke........I still however will bow to your many years on these things, I can't even begin to hold a candle to it........... 1) Power head, mid section, LU are all hard bolted together and then by default are then all electrically tied together, yes. The...

    1995 Black Max 150 grounding cable - is it necessary?

    Not sure I follow....... The transom bracket (call-out 1) should already be bonded (check transom mounting bolts from bilge side, one should have a bonding wire to it). The LU (and its al/zinc trim tab [call-out 1]) has to already be grounded/bonded via battery neg cable at starter bolts...

    Fuel Line connector getting too hot

    It's the mech fuel pump's pressure/vac tap fitting..... Merc taps into the lower side of a particular cylinder and uses pressure/vac being created under the piston from and as the piston's stoke to actuate the diaphragm of the fuel pump. So no, no water flow right there per-se as the tap is...

    150 black max overheats at high RPM

    If it's water flow issues, this additional info might help.....Do you know if the poppet is working correctly? If you look real close at the H20 pressure you can usually see very subtle drops in pressure around 3K when the poppet opens. If it's for sure working, as I think you've...

    Car AC question?

    Sure, a bearing going out could cause overheating as well as low refrigerant and/or low lubricant flow can make them overheat too!! If the fan is flaky, that might do it too, probably more noticeable at low speeds thou. Sorry to say, really it's just guess work until something really breaks or...

    1984 150hp black max

    I believe those are called "welch plugs" No.......Remove this plug and install your water pressure fittings/hardware that run to your pressure gauge. The water here under this plug is post water pump and has basically just come in from the lake and won't reflect engine temp. I added an...

    Skunk Trap

    "Stinky" a pretty good sized skunk has decided to live under my back yard tool/storage shed. His smell, although pretty to the lady skunks, is permeating the place and anything in it. I tried for months now to block him out but, he's quite persistent as he just digs around and/or around any...
