    Professional Mariner protech 4 series battery charger

    You should be able to look at the top of each of your batteries and see the two wires from the charger . If all you see is the two main cables then the charger is hooked up before or at the switch . I've always hooked them.up to the battery.

    guage issues on 91 stingray 3.0 merc

    My thoughts, could care less about the trim gauge , should adjust by the way it rides without looking at any gauge . Speedo , GPS on cell and mentally take note of RPMs to speed so you don't have to keep looking at your cell , more accurate than your tube .

    Pump is pressure activated, stops when it hits xX lbs and when you open the faucet the pressure drops , pump turns on . Follow the water line from the sink to the source

    Bilge pump/ blower needed

    So if I understand this correctly, you have one option. Buy a bilge pump and then a blower . Now wire them into a switch on the dashboard and plumb them in to the existing hoses . I was not aware that outboards on a boat require a blower ?

    Water heater to engine. Previous owner cut and removed water heater hoses at stringer. See photos, where should they connect at engine?

    The water pump on the engine has a " plug " in it that is removed and a ftg is put in it's place that has a barbed end for the heater hose to attach to . The other hose should attach to a port at the thermostat housing , that may have a " plug " in it where the barbed ftg would be .

    Cleaning gas tank?

    There is no feasible way of cleaning a fuel tank while it is still in the boat . Doing it half assed in this case will result in you rebuilding the carb every other week, even with a few fuel filters which will constantly clog up .

    2001 hydra sports power plug-in

    Unless you have a control panel that clearly shows your AC options the odds are you are not hard wired in for AC current . Do you have any 110 outlets or a onboard battery charger ? It's pretty hard to miss the shore power outlet on a boat . Usually they have a big 3- 4" diameter chrome screw on...

    Johnson Seahorse 7.5 outboard 1956 - what is it worth today?

    Couple hundred bucks , if it runs . Nothing special about them , thousands and thousands of them out there . Not close to pristine condition and even those are not really sought after . Gas tank could be full of gunk , rust ? Probably 50 - 75 .00 if clean inside. Don't quit your daytime job is...

    No power to my radio, cabin lights or refridgerator

    And if you run it on 12 vdc what is the voltage reading at the motor . Compare the 2 numbers. My initial thought is not enough volts / amps coming out of the box to power the fridge . But your meter may be off and or that's what the fridge runs on .

    Power Boat sinks in Michigan

    What the heck is that supposed to mean ? Were you there to see what caused the massive water intrusion ? How long was it floundering for ? Any medical disability's on board ? Honestly your comment was uncalled for .

    14 foot jon boat with 8 hp motor almost plane.

    Put the maximum HP that it is rated for . All you are going to do is beat the heck out of the current motor by running it at full throttle with too much of a load in the boat . That engine will hate you for being worked to a slow death .

    You flip each switch , walk around and observe what is on , lights ,blower , bilge pump , wiper , etc . and label . Other choice is to follow each wire to the source and then label.
