Re: 1985 10 meter 341 windshield ground location

I simply added my own 10 gauge wire and ran it down to the grounding buss bar by the battery box.

Besides the wipers, My thought was,,,, what the hell,,, a stray lightning ground :)

Re: Fresh water holding tank

1983 10 meter International here. The early Internationals and all later non-midcabin based Internationals featured both fresh water and black water tanks designed and built into the hull.

Re: 10M Express what is the best prop?

point of reference:

on my 1983 10 meter express, one Crusader motor ran clockwise, the other, counterclockwise.

I am not aware of any gears running in reverse

BEST !

An easy check is to apply 120VAC directly to the suspect meter terminals.

Re: 13 Meter Fresh water Pump location

Nice 13 would love to see more photos. Unless someone with a 13 express chimes in, suggest you trace the fresh water lines from the sinks/head/etc backwards.

Re: Removing velvet drive with boat in water

suggest you soak the motor mount adjusters in PB BLASTER

when you reinstall the gear be sure to check the coupler alignment

the Blaster soak will make any adjustments much easier
