Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for. One of the most important is the WWII veteran. My father-in-law landed on Utah Beach. After weeks of combat his unit was captured. He spent over 10 months as a POW doing forced labor. He escaped and is still with us today. My father saved by a broken arm would ...

hey, current determines wire size. insulation determines voltage carring ability. 12 gauge will handle 20A. use stranded wire, not solid. are the flourscent bulbs made for 12vdc?? if you took 2 wires from the old lamp and connected them to the new lamp, (center to center and base to base) they would...

yea, it is there on our boat. labelled delay relay on the dc board accessible from the front berth. I think what it might do is toot the horn in short bursts rather than let it sound constantly. Bob at beacon says he has them in stock, so we will order one and see what happens. the relay looks like ...

HI, been working on the electrics, replaced the horn relay, now they work. tracing out the high water alarm circuits, continuity throught all bilge float switches. the delay relay is probibly toast, all rusted. any ideas? is this a standard item? part number is 27-226. Bob ct if you read this, thank...

hey bob, holding tank is up front. the only thing between the engines is the battery box. another friend called me today and said there is no port under the battery charger as I saw in a photo on line. I think we have what is described in the post by Jerry just before yours. I will be on the boat th...

bob, wiring diagrams recieved and printed. thank you very much. yesterday I was surfing the net to find pictures of 10m boats and found one with a port of some kind comming out of the engine bay bulkhead just below the battery charger. This weekend I will look and see if it is on the boat. I do reme...

Hi again, If I am reading this correctly, you have an external regulator on the alternator. Is it solid state or an older mechanical regulator? I would first start by cleaning all connections. My comments on the meters was mis-interpreted. Both styles of meters are useful. Digital meters are high re...

hi, just a thought, Is there any corrosion on the field connections or the alt output stud. I have seen similar problem on older cars. A high resistance at the field may cause your problem. The best test would be to bench test alternator. I know Auto zone will test, but it will be a go or no go test...

does anyone have a copy of wiring diagrams for the '87 10M international mid cabin boat? trying to track horn circuit. what are the part numbers for the relays? the square one looks like an automotive 5 pin( it is made by bosch). the time delay relay looks like an old florescent bulb starter with sp...

Hi, I am helping my brother-in-law who just purchesed a trojan boat. One problem we can't seem to solve is where is the pump out located? We have looked hi and low. engines (454) run great, solving a few electrical problems then we are ready to go. privious owner left a little to be desired when he ...
