Hi All, firstly - apologies for the confusion - damn Flu must be messing with my brain! as far as I am aware it is indeed a 1989 hull - I will though on my next visit attempt to verify this by the hull number - when you say 'molded into the transom, starboard side' I am assuming that would be on...
Hi, thank you all for your input and advice, I went down to the boat this morning and found an interesting thing - I will attach 2 pics of the switch panel that I find interesting - note the 2 switch? reset? buttons that are missing - unless these are the emergency stop switches that you...

The motors are 2003...

I have not heard the 2 beeps from the starboard engine (the one which runs in the start position) I will check the port engine for...
Hi there, apologies for the delay - pretty bad weather put things on hold for a while but I have now been to the boat and tried a few things:
My engine diagnostic connector has 10 wires
The wire at pin E is Grey with a black stripe
I did some tests on the key ignitions and they both read the...

I am a little confused about reading the...
