i wanted to have a little more confidence in my fuel consumption and remaining fuel in the tank.
it indicates it has 0.5 ps1 per 20gallons per hour.

any suggestions?
thanks
hello everyone!

hi everyone i did see on numerous post that one of the procedures is to check if there is voltage in the kill wires that could creat a problem.
my first question what symptom would it do. second witch kill wire? to the white wire or blue wire

what i mean is like myself and others coming aboard in restoration job. it would be great having a section with the different boat types like CC, cruisers, tryhalls, walkarounds, etc..

I have a trophy 18.5 CC I need to redo the transom.

even with a switch or had both batteries connected together im getting lose of voltage.
