Randy, hope this helps. - "B" is cold water "IN" which is just below relief valve. Water would come out of here if you poured water into the relief valve. - "A" is hot water "OUT" The tubes (stainless) sticking out of the tank are the exchanger hook ups for th...

Randy, I think the port right under the relief valve is cold water "in", not the heat exchanger! The exchanger fittings are stainless pipes with a nipple on each end. The fresh water "in" and "out" are fittings (hopefully brass, maybe plastic) that are screwed (threaded...

Jumpers are supplied with some multi-bank chargers to link an unused bank terminal to a bank terminal that is being used. Such as a 3 bank charger in a vessel that only has 2 banks. In may case, bank one is port engine battery, bank 2 is strb engine battery, bank 3 is the house batteries. The genny ...

Don't know if they're all the same, but mine stores the different bits in the handle. Handy!

Randy, can you post a picture of the hookup as it is now. That would really help us visualize what you're describing.

Go to an automotive supply store and get a carb idle adjusting tool. Looks like a long screwdriver but has a flexible shaft to get you into tight spots and around obstacles. Comes with several different bits/ends to accomodate several makes of carbs. Good to have, not expensive, will save you from g...

I agree with the captain. The handle on the "crossover" valve should point to the direction of flow. If it's not in line with or pointing to a hose, chances are there is no flow. Probably a difference of consumption as mentioned, also consider the genny if applicable. Oh, and make sure no ...

The return spring on the carb is bringing the cable back. DO NOT remove the spring as some people do. It will bring your vessel back to idle should your throttle cable snap. Once you locate your tension adjustment on the control, I think on the right side of handle at pivot point for starb and left ...

Being bypassed is certainly a possibility. It's hard not to assume that some things have already been checked! Curious though, if the vessel gets decommissioned off season, was Attwood's proceedure carried out in commissioning of '08 and '09? If it didn't need to be done before, why now?

I'm having a problem with this one. Something just isn't making sense. Never ever had to do that before. I'm with DB. Either there's something else going on or it's a bad design. Curious to see if Attwood's suggestion resolves the issue long term.

Jump/bypass the resister just to see if you get spark. If you get spark, replace the resister. Also make sure nothing is grounding out that shouldn't be or you'll never induce a voltage in the secondary winding.

I hook up dockside water all the time. Having said that, I never ever leave the hose attached when I'm away. When you leave the vessel for the day, remove the hose, and coil it on the dock. Do not leave it on board with the other end attached to shore. If you don't trust yourself to be diligent abou...

Do you decomission the water system for the winter in your area, would you have removed the water lines at one point? Do you have 2 or 4 water connections on the tank? My thought is that you've hooked the fresh water lines to the heat exchanger (if applicable) that should run off the engine. This wo...

In my opinion, the crossover should be closed to isolate the engines to thier respective tanks. If you have a genny, it would explain the extra draw from one tank. With the crossover open, the fuel will come through the path of least resistance. Check to ensure there are no kinks/restrictions in the...

Which ever you choose, it goes without saying that you should hook up an "AUTO/MANUAL" switch to bypass the unit. Also, some make the mistake of mounting the photocell in an area that is lit up by the load, like mounting the unit at the helm to control the anchor light. The result in such ...
