Interior / steering wheel issues
« on: February 28, 2009, 06:01:07 AM »
I just bought a 77 spectra 18. I want to change the steering wheel so I ordered a grant F9 and and all of the adapter parts for it from Rex Marine. Does anyone know the shaft size or type of steering system used on Spectra boats? the adapter that I ordered is part # 457465 and is for a 3/4" tapered shaft. It is to small for mine. The tapered part is more like 1" or 1 1/8".    I have talked to Rex Marine, but I thought I would ask here too. 

Thanks,
Keith

Jet Pumps / Foot throttle install
« on: February 24, 2009, 01:49:42 PM »
I am fairly new to this so my questions might seem dumb......I just bought a 77 Spectra 18 and it still has a hand control throttle. I placed an order for a foot throttle and cable it should be here in a day or so. I ordered the floor mount push cable. Since I dont see the stringers I am assuming the boat has a sub floor. the diverter handle is also mounted to the floor. So, Can I just screw the foot throttle down to the floor? How thick are the sub floors usually made? Anything I need to be concerned about while mounting it?

Thanks,
Keith

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Charging system problem
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:22:25 AM »
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas. I just bought a 77 spectra 18. The voltmeter on the dash stays right at 12 volts when the boat is running. I checked it with my voltmeter at the batteries and 12 volts also. I also checked it at the alternator and it shows nothing. The wire that is conected to the alternator (bat) should show 12 volts, right. It shows nothing. That wire runs to a breaker switch and then to the wire block that says ALT. Is there anywhere I can look at a wiring diagram for this boat? I think the problem is with the wiring because the wire running to the alternator should be hot (12 volts) and it is not. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith
