Re: Need a boat hauler f32

I used Marblehead trading to pick up my F32 in Georgia and bring it up here a few years back. I am sure if you call a few boat dealers and yards in your area you will find one. Bridge has to come off and mark all wires and controils

318 temp gauges

Notice that temp gauges on one of the engines will shut down and than come back on in a while. Gauges shut down on both stations so I am assuming it might be a ground wire. What is best way to track problem? Is wiring for temp gauges on thermostat housing? Ant help is appreciated

wash down pump wiring??

I was thinking of installing a salt water wash down pump. I was wondering if I could use the same circuit as my fresh water pump--jump it off the existing pump. I was thinking would not use both pumps at the same time. Am I nuts or not??

Re: another winterizing question

I ended up putting flushing valves on the raw water intake hoses on both engines and gem. It makes it is a lot easier to hook hose up to flush engines and than switch to fill up to anti freeze. Well worth the small investment
