The best rule of thumb for electrical wire size is #14 15 amps #12 20 amps #10 30 amps and #8 40 amps. When I wired my house this was the code. It would take a really big boat to exceed the recommended length of run for these wire sizes.

Looks like the carb linkage on the old motors are what EM63 is looking for.

We use stainless hardware all the time at work and on boat. Never had a problem as long as we use neverseize on the bolts first.

I believe you are right about the diagram but im not sure the distributor index has anything to do with weak spark. It would still spark strong if it were only out one tooth. He said he was fighting a weak spark and low voltage so I was looking at reasons for that.

I am not sure the exact pressure the switch is set for but sometimes at low idle and hot engines they wont charge unless I i...

I believe the sending units for the AC guages are specific to the AC guages. The AC guages operate backwards from most guages. When you short a guage from most manufactures they read the highest temp or pressure they are rated for. The AC guages read o when shorted. I believe Beacon sells the correc...

E-Basic Power sells manifolds for 440`s.

Had to remove my port starter for repair, what a pain in the a####. Bottom bolt below engine stringer. Ended up removing exhaust manifold to gain access to starter. Finally got it out for repair and dreading trying to reinstall bottom bolt.

My F-36 was very chalky. We tried compound and wax, lasted about three months chalk was back. Put 5 coats of Poly Glow on last spring and it still looks like it did the day we put it on. It dosent have the shine that wax does but the chalk has not come back and it is easy to apply. Also very easy to...

Ross, You get your generator running?

Sounds like ignition coil or condenser to me.

Soft Scrub with bleach works for me. Looks even better after one day in the sun.
