    96 21 Concept

    A quick google search turned up a couple of overpriced outfits, but why pay to have something done that is so simple? Get yourself roll of Kraft paper and make your own template :)

    voltage regulator?

    Probably not....... Alternator needs X rpm to generate the necessary current. If it starts charging @ 1,500 rpm or so your good to go

    Preloading without the rolling dial torque wrench

    What is the difference between a "rolling" and a "beam" torque wrench? This unit is accurate within 4% @ 3-7 inch/lbs. = 0.12-0.28 inch/lbs. FWIW: ISO certification standard is 6% for both beam and click wrenches...

    1989 Trophy, Adding 2nd Battery

    There is also a scenario where a bilge motor fails (burnt winding) tying the two circuits together. Wouldn't worry too much about the battery equalizing but you'll be surprised to come out in the morning to find the nav light is on (very dim) when the start battery switch is off. Been there...

    Rope caught in Prop!

    I've picked up a rope (crab pot) more than a couple of times on Flo-torq and rubber hubs. At speed, the prop cuts right through the rope. At idle, it stalls the motor right out. Never seen or heard of anyone blowing a prop hub on a rope, especially at idle

    1989 Trophy, Adding 2nd Battery

    Looks like you have to deal with a connection at key switch B and the bilge pumps as well.

    1989 Trophy, Adding 2nd Battery

    What motor are you working with? Typically there is a 40 amp, push button circuit breaker protecting the feed to the helm/accessories My CB next/behind to the starboard (starting) battery

    A couple basic testing questions

    I use one of these On single cylinder motor I don't care about the actual number. Just comparing it to an earlier base line I took. Having said that, I either crank or pull until I get to peak compression. It's either going to be in the ball park of the OE specification or it's not. If the...

    rectifier

    The regulator sheds excess current as heat. Make sure the wiring from the output of the regulator to the battery isn't compromised in some manner. Corroded and or loose switch or battery connections will cause a regulator to run hot

    Throttle linkage cable barrel at motor will not go into hole without moving throttle.

    Cables are not universal. If the mechanism is different it's pretty safe to assume the cables are different. Have you confirmed that both motors use the same cable? A brief search would suggest they are not

    Did a little saltwater fishing in SC last week.

    https://www.saltwatersportsman.com/better-popping-cork-styles-and-tactics/ Pogie is local terminology. Officially Atlantic Menhaden, known as Bunker and Shad further up the coast. We catch and net them. Never noticed a difference in longevity either way. The trick to keeping them alive is no...

    Only goes 20 MPH

    Ugh...... CAN and OBD2 are well documented and published SAE and ISO protocols and message structures. Unless the engine manufacturer developed and replaced the two with proprietary protocols and shared with Rinda this is BS. All you're buying is scan request and logging analyzer formatted...

    Trailer Manufacture Name?

    Been through this twice. Manufacturer would not issue a replacement decal. Had to register as "home made" and have a State issued VIN plate issued and attached

    solenoids?

    What's confusing? Polarity doesn't matter on the "slave" side of the solenoid. All your doing is sending a (low current) signal (blu/wht or grn/wht wire from switch) to Ground (blk)
