Lowrance GlobalMap 3500....it uses the old style blue connectors so I had to buy some of the stuff on Ebay as it is no longer manufactured. Fuel flow meter is tough to find so I got the new red connector (EP-60) at Cabela's and bough a converter cable.

dam whale, shes lookin pretty dam good.
i hope to be ready for 2008 by early 09.

all right now that you got everything corrected I will buy it back, I will give treefitty for it:sun:

Ahhhh. The plan is coming to fruition. :clap::beer:
Willy, check your downrigger thread on THT. :zip::hi:

LOL...all is not perfect though. I had her running in the driveway this morning and headed off to my marina at 2 pm. Backed down the ramp and went to start her on the trailer and the flywheel would not engage. This happened last week also and turned out to be a ground issue....hence the new busbars in the transom by the battery. Well, I was pissed and confused but then I checked the battery and the wingnut had come loose on the negative post on the drive to the marina. Tightened it down and she started up fine. I then proceeded to go for a shakedown cruise......after a slow crawl out my shallow cove at low tide (2 feet deep) I hit open water and all was fine until after about a minute at WOT there was a heavy vibration from the motor and I had to limp back to my slip at low speed to avoid the vibration. This has happened to me before once when I had a ding in the prop. I am thinking the prop is loose as I might have had it off a few weeks ago and not tightened it down fully with a wrench?? Can't remember. Anyway, I am going to reinstall the prop and see how it goes. It is just tricky as I have to do it at a dock unless I want to haul my trailer back there and pull her out again.

All right then, twofitty

In all sincerity, I would be surprised at that engine having any problems, it had power and torque way beyond it's displacement. It always started first time and every time.
I truly believe they were the best two stroke for reliability on the market, people I know that have had the different horsepower version of the same motor tell me the same thing.

Well, I removed the prop today and filed the edges and cleaned and greased everything and now the vibration is gone.

My new fuel flow setup says I am getting about 3.2 mpg at about 4000-4200 rpm. I was hoping it would be closer to 4 mpg but maybe after some tuning it could be a bit better. Love the LowranceNET setup. Simple plug and play and my gps now shows fuel level, gallons per hour, miles per gallon.....very nice.

congrats whale, glad to hear alls well , I think I am splashing down next weekend

Nice head start on the fishing season... Hope to run into you and a few others this year

Whale, that boat is so Old School. :)

Nice work on box eye, GPS, and working the gremlins outta your prop. Shes looking good!
