    Installing Fish Finder

    The upper left does appear that it could be used as the Ground Buss, and also agree it does not appear to have a wire on the ground lug. To use the GND Buss it will need a wire going back to ground and/or negative side of battery. Also recommend it is a ground buss. Do this with circuits on...

    Need someone to bless my wiring diagram Please.

    Being this is an outboard and your house connections and not a battery then I will agree to the common terminal. I still would not agree to connect one 12V battery to terminal 2, reason being it can damage your alternator. It could do the same to a changer trying to charge a 36V system using...

    Need someone to bless my wiring diagram Please.

    Don't connect your 36V set of batteries to your battery switch. Connecting the house bat to the Common (C) terminal does not allow it to be disconnected. Connect the house battery to terminal 2. Use an onboard charger to recharge your 36V batteries. They way it was previously connected it...

    Rifle Scope Repair

    Anyone ever have a rifle scope repaired? Have a 3x9 Bushnell on my 22mag and the scope has to be moving. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Bought the scope and use to be able to hit about everything I wanted to with iron sights. Installed the scope and off and on kept trying to zero...

    Mixing Battery Types - Which charging profile to use on the onboard charger?

    I would not mix Gel with Lead acid or AGM. Mixing lead acid with AGM can work, but IMO there is no way it will work correctly with Gel

    72 Thunderbird Formula w/twin 165hp Mercs

    Buss bars are the way to go and they come in all sizes and shapes. Here is my Formula and it has a main ground buss bar for all the battery cables, which then goes to the Engine block. Directly above it on the left is a smaller one with a 10AWG wire connecting the two. All local grounds are...

    Vibration issue after engine replacement on MC1 drive to 351W only under throttle

    Appears (from my view point) you have only one belt and it is used for water pump and alternator. Alternator appears to be in lower left corner. I would guess from the pic that you don't have a belt driven pump and the water intake from the drive is directly above the Alt but behind the...

    Vibration issue after engine replacement on MC1 drive to 351W only under throttle

    I take it because you said "heat exchanger" you have closed cooling with and have an external seawater pump (item 11) that is belt driven. If this is the case connect you water hose directly to the seawater pump inlet, or attach the hose somehow to the drive bell housing inlet hose. Now if...

    Help! VP 8.1 HO fuel pump not priming when the key is turned on. No Audible beep.

    Need to keep reminding my self this is a VP and I'm not real clear of everything on the VP motors, more a Merc guy. According to the diagram I found on the GXI there are 5 relays, 3-standard and 2-different. The fuel pump I controlled by one of the others (R4). See the image below Sorry...

    5.7 Mercruiser EFI, idle after warmup quits engine

    5.7 Mercruiser EFI, idle after warmup quits engine

    Agree most MPI's fuel pressure is higher but according to manual 24 it shows 30 psi at 1800 rpm. Have been wrong before and maybe this is another time, but... on the Mercruiser website I find under serial number 0M033393 in the listing below and it shows the following listed below

    Chrysler ignition switch

    Being a Chrysler motor see if Frank Acampora may assist it should be pretty standard. This one should work, but wait for others to double check. http://www.iboats.com/Sierra-Ignition-Switch/dm/cart_id.356033800--session_id.206272045--view_id.47122

    03 9.9 kicker

    It's similar to a harmonic puller, just smaller. Don't know how handy you are, but I would make one. Find a grade 8 fine thread bolt and nut. Get a piece of 1/4 inch steel and drill a hole in the center for the bolt, and three smaller ones for the bolts which screw into the flywheel. If you have...

    Houseboat wiring dilemma

    Being an 88 it might not have start switches. Would help if you could provide the wire colors on the switches. Still thinking one momentary switch would be the horn, as for the other two would help with wires attached. Below pics are for Mercruiser but wiring should be close

    Advice on rot!

    Have to agree this is not going to be pretty. Hope you got it for free, or you really love boat because what I'm seeing it appears the entire hull is going to need to be stripped out. For the most part take it down to the bare hull and start over. May need to look like the one below before...
