Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

[mickyryan]

I bought this kobalt which has a paddle style trigger. It makes it much easier to hold. Have not cut into or through any body parts ..... yet lol. So far it has held up to most of the grinding I had to do on the inside of my hull.

 

[mickyryan]

yeah I like paddle ones best as long as paddle goes far back from the blade lol

 

[kcassells]

Yup to all the above. Good to see you 89 resorter.

Well plodding along....So she kicks off for a few secondos but I'm finding alot of little shorts. That's to be expected with this ole gal. Found some wiring that inside the cover was basically DUST. So going dark for awhile to trace out, replace, test, seek and destroy all those little do hickies.
Keep on motoring Boyzz.

Mick,
Did color code match the wires, get a new/used harness if you had one ?

 

[mickyryan]

color coded napa sells most colors there is also a place to get tinned wire on line as well use connectors that heat shrink and you will be good to go nolox all connectors just for added anti corrosion.

All great info, thanks Mick.

Took the vro fuel/oil pump apart and was considering a rebuild and deleting the oil side of the existing pump. So the rebuild kit costs @$155.00. A new non vro fuel pump costs $179.00. No brainer...supposed to be here tues. Can keep the motor running pumping the fuel bulb and it sounds so nice!!

Nice part of no bro is you know you will be getting oil.
Here is a link to a eBay seller with tinned wire.
