Re: 1972 '18 SS Rebuild
Re: 1972 '18 SS Rebuild
On to more pleasant things.....
I got some new bunks and sides built for the trailer. The trailer winch and bow stop got moved up higher on the post. There is still not enough weight on the tongue, but it is much better.
The motor has been fired up, new rectifier installed, guages wired, and the link and sync is done. There are some more things to do, but it's basically ready to splash. Woo hoo!
The new rectifier fixed the broken tach. I've wired the trim/tilt gauge correctly but it reads only in the down position. So, the switch is bad at the TT unit or there is a short in the indicator wire. I had a matching speedo gauge so I installed that, but will need to buy a new pickup tube. I know the speedo gauge is not very accurate, but I'm not interested in how fast I can go.
