    Starter?

    Yes sir, absolutely does. I replaced the starter a couple of times- I don't recall more than a couple of wires to the starter selonoid- other than the hot. So I'm pretty familiar with where the bits and pieces are. I did not see the new wiring before the dash went back on- I believe there was a...

    Starter?

    Ok, so I need a plan. I guess I'm looking for an easy check/suspect part when I really need to start with the basics and work my way through this. @Chris1956 suggested i unhook the dash from the ignition- not sure what that means- i know when the dash was put back together he made up one...

    Starter?

    Thanks Chris- I absolutely have that- I will re read the thread now I know I have somewhere else to look. I really belive the problem is not a "failure" per say but from an ignition short that pushed something to failure...

    Chris- I'm familiar with a starter selonoid on top of a starter, what is the slave selonoid going to starter selonoid?

    Starter?

    Well that's what I thought too...the 50 Amp on top of the motor is not tripping. Before apparent failure, when it shut everything down after a couple mins everything would light back up. Is there a thermal breaker inside the starter? Something was shorting/grounding out after the gauge install...

    Starter?

    I had an issues of bad wiring that I think was tripping a beraker/fuse/relay in the ignition system- it would reset and then kick back off. The wiring condition was fixed and it seemed to be good- then made a frying sound and everything is dead- shore power all works, radio works on the...

    Starter?

    Thanks Chris- the noise it made was electrical- I recall from the old school horror movies when the mad scientists hits the button on what ever they are trying to create- a shocking sound. The t90 fuse that is on the starter I'm a little confused as to what it does- protect the starter or the...

    Starter?

    I was able to get my a/c working, was only something plugged up in the discharge line....nice 4th watching fireworks right from the marina. So, I had my dash ripped off, cut all the wires. Had a guy rewire new gauges and dash. Something was wrong - when you turned the key to first position the...

    A/c not pumping water

    Not sure I understand the answer- the box stores don't have the T materials- don't want to use metal. Everything else closed for the 4th. I want to see water coming out and through the a/c system. I pulled the hose off the pump- water came straight through- turned it on and got a shower so...

    A/c not pumping water

    That is a really good idea- so if I do that, will the water come out the above water line thru hull? I really think mud dauber or something have gotten up in there. I wish I knew the hose size- I'm sure everything will be closed...if that would flush water ever is in the system out the thru hull...

    A/c not pumping water

    I think I will I pull the strainer and shop vac thru the thru hull- does seem to me that water should be coming in at a good rate- I will pull the line off the pump on the strainer side and suck out the pump. I'm sure what ever was growing in the strainer was also pulled into the system and may...

    A/c not pumping water

    Got across the lake and into my slip- perfect conditions but a tad out of practice...anywho...a/c which always fires right up did, but no water pumping and shuts off-; I pulled the intake trap near the the thru hull and well...pretty nasty. I swear I checked it "recently" - only in the water a...

    Dash got ripped out!

    Process is always slow- I did get the panel in, perfect and ordered faria gauges, look great. Place I store my boat has a "guy" he put them in today. Fuel gauge pegs full, key on or off- I wish. Oil pressure sits at 40, volts are at like 12. This is not running. I turn on one of the nav lights...

    Dash got ripped out!

    I order a dash panel and still have to check for fit before I order gauges...and anolg gauges is what I need to purchase correct? Also, I'm thinking of installing vessel view mobile as the information it brings seems very much worth the cost- I can do both correct or is it connecting to the boat...

    Dash got ripped out!

    You know, you are all right- computers are great when they work and this is just a computer. I work for a company the sells new ambulances and remounts and repairs older ones. Back in the 80's, they were controlled by wires, relays and such- mow they are computer screens, some still had the...

    Dash got ripped out!

    I gave a 2005 270 I/O rinker express cruiser. Someone I guess needed my dash with all my gauges worse than I did. The harness/wires behind the dash were all cut. What a mess. So that harness, is that a merc harness from the motor to the gauges or do the boat makers create that harness? Rinker is...

    Fuel water separator and fuel filter on 3L

    Interesting...I'm in fl and don't see that temp unless it is dead of winter...how do higher Temps affect those numbers? 70 is a cool day here. I'm not sure how much I had...I pumped at least a half gallon of water and then said screw it and pumped it all out. I have a 100 gallon tanks, pumped...
