I love this forum, I am sorry I don’t get up here to much lately. When I got back from my trip, I replaced all the filters. There was a little bit of junk within, but not enough to cause a problem. This coil does not have a ballast resistor, it uses a resistive wire, and let me tell you, she do ge...

Engin quiting at 1700rpm

Ok, I am about at my wits-end. As many of you know or remember, I had a problem with the engin quitting around 1300 rpm. I replaced the coil, fuel pump with a high output electric “yes it is an e pump” and last but not least all the filters. This I did last season, it seemed to work well last ye...

One would think that about the regulator being bad, however it maintains a constant voltage on full load and no load regardless the rpm. This is telling me that the reg is functioning I would think. As I stated , the voltage meter on the boat is telling me that the voltage is within spec also. Every...

This is well within spec for this unit, however, my radio is telling me that the voltage is high, it does not want to see anything over 14.3vdc. Can I build or pur...

Aaron, not sure what E-Heat is but I think you gave me an Idea as to what it is. Could you not install that heater on the bulkhead in such a way it would float like one of the gimble lamps, this way the heater would not flex and crack the ceramic.
London, oh how I would love to spend some time there.
