your voltage better be above 12 or it won't charge you can't charge a 12 volt battery with 12 volt. it takes at least 12.5 to 13 to charge so you are fine.

I do feel guilty, but not about having a spare motor, sorry HAMMER.

Hey, did you get those higher voltage readings after you put on the new cables?

If so its probably because the electricity can actually flow through the wires instead of getting used up by those old wires.

Re: Odds/Ends
 

Man, I hope I'm wrong, but I think you have too many volts. If you have over 14 at idle, whats it gonna be when you spin her up to 4g's?

As for the solenoids, that the darndest thing I've seen today. Never seen them mounted there, but I don't claim to have seen them all. Find the wiring harness on the T&T pump. Is it 2 or 3 wires. If its 3, make sure that its grounded well, the third wire will be ground. You gonna try and jump it or not ;D

Good luck Hammer, with the motor, the neck, and Lisa...tell her not to be so hard on an old man ;D

Re: Odds/Ends
 

Volts stayed the same with the old cables. She goes above 16 volts when floored. :-/
Might have to send her out and see if there is a problem.
That will bite the wallet big time. Dont want an electrical melt down. :-/

Looking for tilt trim motors on E-Bay. Whats the deal with motors that take "OILDYNE PUMP". I do have a place to put fluid in. Is that it ???

Re: Odds/Ends
 

There were two makes of pumps, prestolite was the other. Do you have a multi-meter? Do you have that manual yet? How about a test light? Once you have those three things it won't be that hard to trace all these problems out. No since taking it to the wrench yet, unless he needs help with a parking ticket or sumpin ;D

Re: Odds/Ends
 

have you put a voltmeter on teh battery to check what your voltmeter on the dash is reading, I see brand new gauges every day that aren't close to being accurate, Also seen guages that you could depend on start reading wrong for no reason

Re: Odds/Ends
 

Lookin good Hammah!!!


BUT, How bout some pics of Lisa's toes?? ;D

Re: Odds/Ends
 

STINK, you just missed her. Off to Rehab. Not for the wrist, but for sex, she's always wanting it. Think she's trying to kill me and take the boat for herself. LOL. ;D

Going outside with hammer and wire to jump the trim motor. The hammer is for something to through if I loose my patience. >:(
Gonna see if I can borrow a volt meter and light from the boat yard.

Re: Odds/Ends
 

Ok, I jumped the solinoids as you guys said, also hit the trim motor with a hammer and now she's working fine.
:-/ ;D
Put on a volt meter, she is at 13 volts when at idle and at 15 at full power. She's A-OK. I think as someone posted, my "new" volt guage is slightly off.

So I guess everything is OK. I guess I should still find a used tilit trim motor. SHRIMP has a few, so I'll still grab one if he has one to offer.
