Thanks alldodge. I have a slightly different configuration but more so needed which post on the alternator is hot while cranking. Just picked up this boat and the switch was never hooked up, the fuel ran on some homemade bogus wiring.

Well, after totally nuking the concept/over thinking at this point of the project :eek:....I've again decided to follow Oops thread on sub floor and foam application...
This has been a difficult project. Kinda had no idea what I was getting into. Lots of learning and familiarization with new products I've never used. I've finished the demo and installing all new stringers and transom on this fiberglass rebuild. Using West Systems products, all wood was...

Re: Removing wood from tansom
I am currently in the same stage of restoration on my 87 Starcraft with a fiberglass hull. A chainsaw worked like a charm to remove the transom after I separated the top and bottom of the boat. I would not recommend this approach...
A bolt below the water-line rotted the transom on my 16' 1987 fiberglass Starcraft....USCG labeled as a CSS-160B. I only mention this because I've not been able to locate or identify this boat online anywhere....any ideas? But anyways, I drilled a few holes @ 3/16" in diameter from the inside...
I'm currently about to glass a new deck in my boat. I've got an 87 Starcraft with a fiberglass hull. Do I need to sand the deck first then treat with epoxy or can I just go 4 it? Also when glassing the floor to the side walls what grit sandpaper do I prep the existing glass sides with...
This maybe a dumb question but here goes. My fuel line attaches to the top of my gas tank but does not actually reach the bottom of the tank. How does fuel flow without a line actually being inserted into the fuel?
I have a 1987 fiberglass Starcraft, CSS-160B. All wood rot has been pulled, subfloor stringers replaced. I'm about to pour the 2 part expandable foam to fill the voids. Here are my 2 questions: What is the proper prep work for the foam, any tips on the application? and When I glass the...
Hey Everbody,
I've got a 1987 Starcraft 19' Bowrider, with a fiberglass hull. This boat was originally purchased from Boat Angel and I acquired it from that guy. He took a look at the engine and decided it was too much work. I've since rebuilt and painted the power head on the Johnson 110 and...
I received a 1987 Starcraft open bow project boat & trailer with a 1985 Johnson 115 V4 VRO. When I say "received" it was a freebie. My upmost priority is cost efficiency here. Previous owner started all the hardest work already. Pulled the floor in its entirety and stringers replaced and...
I have a 1985 Johnson 115 v4 vro. Trim/Tilt has worked flawlessly until today. Engine raises but won't go down. When I push the "up" button I hear a click in the motor. When I press "down" I get nothing. Traced the "click" to a plastic black box in the engine case w/ 2 solenoids. One of them...
