Re: Fuel System Restoration: Tanks to Carbs...

Re: CHART PLOTTER ON THE CHEAP

Update.
I got a k10 Dragontouch tablet with Navionics mapping software and works great, especially at night in low light conditions. The only problem I have is the map doesn't move as I move. I think it is a setting I haven't discovered yet. A lot of chartplotter for $120.

I believe Some electronic ignition systems require internal resistance coil and some do not . might check that.
Good luck.

coil

Last weekend running down the river at 2500 rpm and starboard motor started loosing rpm and sputtering. To make a long story short found that coil was jumping fire from negative to positive terminal. Now that is scary to have a spark jumping that 2.5 inches in the bilge. Not jumping from coil tower ...

bilge pump switch

Re: dome lights not working Where is ground buss located?

current + moisture + air = corrosion. If we use dielectric grease it takes one of the three out of the equation. Common problem on our cars too. I use vaseline on my battery terminals to prevent the " Green Monster" My 2 cents.
