Do you have the old style round blaster coils,if so there is no way 12 v can fry them ---- check all your grounds --- MSD has had some bad stuff of late--- I went thru a number of digital boxes ,one after the other that were terrible and finally went back to old analog and all issues stopped---- may...

I always try to instal coils vertical if at all possible--- you can get instal wiring instructions on MSD web---- with all my mopar stuff with MSD 6al etc and no points( reluctors in dizzy) I just eliminated the ballast resister by wiring the start and run circuits together thereby removing the lowe...

Here is one possible explanation for what you experienced---- hot air and high humidity could be causing a richer mixture which the gen appears to like--- cooler dry air= more air available with less water in air which would lean it out a bit, maybe enuf to make it hunt at idle---- I have to say I d...

Mike that looks great! did you do it yourself? where did you pick it up at? how much did you need? AND did you have the teak rail prior? I know a lot of questions but thank you in advance. Sorry on all counts it was on the boat when I got it--- I thought I would show you what the black looked like-...

There is rubber with stainless on outside--had to crop pic to reduce size---- Mike

Just replaced mine-- 78 360's but probably the same---- just took the old one to the shop that rebuilt the alternators,he looked at it and ordered one from his book--- 30 odd bucs-- so I guess they are still available,had it the next day--- sorry just threw out the box--- Mike

Larry,see if you can isolate the sound if you can to get a better idea of where to look---- get a two or three foot piece of wooden mop handle or better yet the same length of 1/2 " plastic pipe--- with this you can listen to different areas of the engine ,just touch the areas and listen to the...

I heard someone applied that stuff to their boat bottom and all went well till the travel lift tried to launch the boat--- they could not get the boat back in the water --- seems the darn thing kept jumping back into the slings--------bazinga--- lol
--- interesting stuff though--- Mike

Thanks for the responses guys----- gotta like the black but I like the cool better as I get older---- maybe I have a white mesh type made with double snaps so the original cover could go on in the fall in cooler weather--wish I could sew---- Thinking maybe the white or biege looks good even with the...

I can feel the heat radiate off the inside of the front windows with the black cover on, keeps the air on full--- I guess it is fairly hot where you are, is that sunbrella I can see on your avatar?

We are finding the inside salon area of our f32 with that huge front window quite warm to say the least--- are there any window covers that are better than others?--- we currently have a black cover on the boat,would another color or material work better----- thoughts anyone???---- Mike

Good stuff!!!!--- Wondered about those ropes ,been finding those all over the boat ,and in surprisingly good condition--- Mike

Looking at your photos it looks like your fuel filters have the plastic bottoms. If that is true you might want to change them to the steel bottoms. The plastic ones really shouldn't be used inside a gas engine room. Summer storm--- Thanks for noticing that,I will be correcting that pronto--- just ...

A little update--- I separated the genny battery from the stbd start and wonder of wonders found the genny battery dead--- out of four batteries three were pooched and I payed to have the spring commissioning done ,and no mention of battery issues, that will be the last time--- anyway ac wiring is n...

Looks real nice, just like it came that way--- as for the holes ,my guess would be the aft line guides-- what did you fasten the cleats to ,I like that idea--- one other ? Where can I get a set of those two rung steps that can be seen in the background , are they original trojan?--- Mike
