Did the bases for the bilge pimps and thru hull today tomroow I'll glass them in
Install a battery and switch but did not do a permanant job, I just wanted to start the engine.
Put some gas in the tank and hit the switch and it started with no trouble at all.

What a relief that it started and ran good I need to fix the lower unit seal as is is leaking lower unit oil in the propeller area and change out the impeller.

I will more than likely do some minimal electrical done and finish as the summer progresses and see what I need

The trim....... I guess I need some type of relay or something to get it going.
On the bottom of my binicule the is a set of 3 wires that finishes in a plug that should go to something.
What is it that it plugs into and where do I get it

What do I need for this?

Next I need to do the trailer so I can get it in the water


I'm so close to getting in the water I can smell it

[jorgeinmiami]

Glassed in the bases for the 2 bilge pumps and the base for the thru hull

Installed both pumps and the thur hull and pump I need to get the electric to them but that will be sometime this week. I also need to get the 2 batteries connected to the battery switch

Installed the fuel gauge in the dash but not to the sender, next is the tach

Played with the trim and got that going but I think I have 1 selenoid that is bad and I need to get the trim fluid right. I bought some today and when I was adding it the fluid that was in there came up to the top did not look right, not that it had water, but it may be just old. I would like to flush it out and in with new fluids.

next I really need to get the trailer going as I will be needing to move the boat to the mechanic to get the lower unit looked at, I am leaking lower unit oil from the seal on the prop shaft and I want him to look it over before I go any where

And boy was it hot today!!


I guess pics will be asked for and they will up tomorrow

[hugo]

it was hot today but at least you were working on the boat, wife had me working on an overhang for the rear patio my poor boat is sitting with no transom and i can here its saddness.

[jorgeinmiami]

Bought the selenoid and the trim fluid and got the trim working

One more thing off the list.

Next is the trailer
The boat rests more on the rollers that are down the middle and not on the bunks
As you can see in the pics I placed some 2x4's to steady the hull

I would like to move the bunks inward or raise them so that the hull rests on them and if possible eliminate the rollers the rollers will get in the way of the thru hull.

After that;s done I have an appointment with the mechanis to take cate of the leak in the lower unit, but while that is done I need to run power to the bilge pumps

Either way it needs some tuning

[eggsuckindog]

you will need the rollers nearer the front so it doesn't scrape - it should almost float over that rear one launching and loading?

I agree it needs to be mostly off the rollers at rest

what year is that trailer? Looks like "old roller" The fenders give it away.
