Yup, that is pretty much as I described, but keep in mind if the float sticks you will burn the pump up.
what brand is your boat? If it's somewhat recent it is likely you will find a spdt switch
I recently upgraded my little runabout with a Seaflo switch panel, and a rule float switch and rule...
That brings back some memories.. My dad had a '73 Chief 21' that we fished out of for years. Same console/ cabin wall and astro turf carpet. His was a golden yellow inside and out. He restored it.
You can find replacement shifters online. You can also use a Mercury outboard shifter, but the...
You tie one leg of the float switch wiring to the brown wire on your pump. Then the brown wire and the float switch wire you tied togther, goes to your manual bilge pump switch.. The other float switch wire, goes to the battery.
If you use a 3 position bilge pump switch, then the wiring in...
GM did build Ecotec marine engines and Mercruiser used a 1.6 Ecotec in the Vazer drives. But AFIK, total flops..
I've only ever heard of the Vazer, but I'm pretty sure the drive was it's own thing, so while the marine systems for the engine may be available, they will be specific to the Vazer...
My advice is buy an older tank with a vent. You can still find New old stock tanks with the vent if you look
As to the EPA solution, it's called a Fuel Demand valve and costs about $30
Seafoam is crap ( alcohol, pale oil and water ). However MMO does wonders for various things.. ~10 years ago I had a Rambler with the 195.6 engine and horribly burned valves. vacuum was pretty much gone. It would stall if the throttle was blipped too hard.. MMO every 400 miles down the carb...
I really, really like the Blue Sea Systems fuse blocks. High quality and fairly inexpensive although they have gone up since I last bought one.
You'll have no problem using a ~10-12ga wire to daisy chain 2 of them. Put your lighter loads on the second one
You would need to build a new base. The plastic Wise base's use plastic supports top and bottom that fit into slots along the top and bottom edge. You can build bases fairly easy.. Pretty sure anywhere you buy them, they are made to order and drop shipped
I'm 90% sure that the Starmist was available in 2 configurations, One had 2 wooden and upholstered benches, which would have been a cruiser configuration, and then another configuration was 2 B2B loungers and that would have been a skiier configuration
Note that I think Starcraft used 6" bases...
Some places have officers hiding to issue tickets to power loaders.
That trailer setup is like no other that I have ever seen.. For sure it's missing a winch stand. I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be like that.. Eliminate that V bow bunk mess, and install a winch stand where the trailer splits...
They are GM HEI's.. I read the description and can't find where it says it is NOT USCG compliant.. If you are unsure, just call them. DUI is a real place that is made in the USA.
The mechanical advance springs are off the shelf parts should you actually want them. However, he sells the...
It will be fine, however the 15hp Merc is just a Tohatsu. If your buying online, then just buy the Tohatsu 15hp and save some coin.
'86 15hp Johnnyrude is a very reliable motor, not much to go wrong
It's not going to run with 25 PSI. That twin engine runs smooth when it's right. It was built for 20 years pretty much exactly the same with some ignition differences through the years. Parts are cheap and plentiful.
I have a 1997 that was lightly locked up when I bought it ( now runs mint )...
I had thought I remembered DUI making marine distributors and indeed they do.. Special order through Summit they do list a 460 marine distributor which is a modified HEI however it's $475.. DUI's stuff is among the best you can buy though. The guy started with a small operation modifying Ford...
Next thing is switching trailers on land.. I have a compact tractor that I know can lift the bow up off the trailer, but what do I support the rear with?
I've got a Venture VB 1300 which is a basic 2 bunk trailer to put under it
