Hi wolf here,
I just acquired a 1971 F-26 with the 318 v drive I was interested in learning a little bit about the electronics in the shower?!
Also is there a wiring schematic on these boats?

Hi Wolf, If you go to the tread titled "Input Needed" you will see some
info on the F-26. Also a good picture from the original literature.

It's been a heck of a year for me and getting this f26 for free was nice (it was my buddies boat) I got the 318 with a fully re-built paragon v-drive a year ago it's been sitting in my garage collecting dust. Now I have a boat to put it in. it's a challenge I have never even driven a boat before now I'm working in it every weekend. I just installed a new 50 Gallon starboard tAnk the steering geer goes in on sat with a little help from trojan bob who gave me the schematic. I will be installing the 50 gallon port tank next weekend. Then the fuel lines filter/waTer seperator and pump. I hope to have the cosmetics done in a few weekends after that and the "uncle Charlie" will be sea worthy shortly after. This has been a challenging re-build not knowing anything about boats but having all the parts come with the boat was a HUGE help. If I need any advise it's great to know that all of you guys are willing and knowlegsble and I thank you ahead if time.

Hey!! im going from a 19ft ski boat to a boat like yours, so your not alone. you will be on the water before me so I will be asking you questions about driving soon, LOL Enjoy, it sounds like you have a new experience in life.. Neat stuff
