This is a bad pic, it looks pretty good for being tossed around

Nice work, that thing looks like it will match perfectly!

« **Reply #151 on:** March 10, 2009, 08:56:29 PM »

Steve, you STILL amaze me. You make something like that work and match as perfectly as possible, and look beautiful BTW, and you worry it's not perfect.

You are the McGyver of boats, I swear. (Give me a surfboard, a Bikini, some bailing twine and a paper clip and I'll build a Boat)

Very impressed, sweety, are you gonna make the trip to Mead this weekend with her?

Thanks Ray

Ok lets try this again

Notice the solenoid, my question is do the battery cable and starter cable both mount to the left terminal

Thats all i need to know the wiring diagrahm says they do......... But!!!!

Ok this bitch is wired , except battery cables and starter wire.....

Well when i hooked power to it i could not get the Bilge pump to shut off , thought to my self......... Self you phuked up

Turns out the bilge push/pull switch is fubar and they installed a hidden switch , needless to say that problem has been cured..

Nope, not really, the question is still confusing the crap out of this simple Simon, but....The power to the dash (assuming the red wire) and the charging wire (assuming the white wire

) and the battery cable and the starter all go to one...Is there a fuse or circuit breaker on the lead going to the dash? (if not there should be...) The other side of the solenoid goes to the start signal wire on the starter...Viola!

Looks clean BTW...

I assume that is a two wire starter....Are you sure of that solenoid? is the Orange wire going to the + side of the coil? how are the terminals labeled on that solenoid? It should read (S) and (I) the way you have it wired...sometimes the two smaller ones will have (S) and (G) for ground, this would be a Jeep style solenoid which won't work in that configuration....

Cool thanks thats what i needed to confirm..

yes they are fused at the dash , and the solenoid is from Omars Saguaro i do believe . and orange is going to the +

just wanted to make sure before i have them make my "special" cable

Please do yourself a favor and get a circuit breaker on the wire from the solenoid to the dash at the engine end, the fuse/circuit breaker protects the wire, not the electronics....

Busy day today and my list is getting smaller decided to put on my fender thingys

I think i will stick it here

and the battery holdown is finished, little bit of carpet ( compliments of the Bahner ) and a little paint. and Voila

Oh and i finally screwed in the foot throttle........

Gas station at temple bar closed at 5, we rolled in at 5:07 on fumes! Crewchief and Chromey had 15 gallons and I had a 26 mile trip to Callville at WOT!

I figured we did over 90 miles on Saturday in the boat!

« **Reply #169 on:** March 29, 2009, 07:21:06 PM »

Steve, you totally F-ed up, that boat is .............................way to pretty to put in the water..

Killer job, now don't take anything apart unless it takes itself apart.......BTW, a man after my own heart with the fuel pressure gauge in the right way, (most guys put it so the driver can see it), if it's running you don't need to know..

I also like the back sprayer you have on the water outlet

As pretty as the engine is, it's a shame to put the cover back on huh?
