Kajun, I can't really help with your current problems, other than to say that your making major headway. Is your buddy Dave in the top business? I'm ready to do something top wise.

ok i plugged up that fitting on the fuel pump...evidently its the vro oil intake fitting....and she started right up! *;D it prob was getting too much air in fuel pump and not creating a vaccum or something.

pisser was pissin strong! and motor sounds great..i ran it for about 5 mins tops...plus stopping and starting a bunch of times.....i didnt want to run it with out some type of overheat alarm system hooked up.......heads were both warm to the touch that i could tell......after the intial warmup ..she starts right up first crank...

packed motor away and went to work on pulling and disconnecting all the force wiring harness and stuff......next is jackplate ..i might just have to buy one new and be done with it :-/..but so far so good!!!


airslot.. nah all he does is awnings and that keeps him busy..he says boat tops are a PITA l..plus he knows the local marine canvas guys and doesnt want to break into their business........but he is fixin my cushions *;D

you should of called brother i was at the coast but, you did the right thing by plugging the oil inlet on pump that's all there is to disconnect the oil injection and the extra 2 wires on the t/t are in your manual back wiring area they are T/T gauge.

Re: well here she is!
 

oh yeah those controls were high i just bought a complete set just like them off ebay from AL for $38 shipped with wiring, cables, and T/T in handle looks just like what you got.

Re: well here she is!
 

yea kinda figured they was high.. but i had been looking for a set on ebay and couldnt find anything..plus i really didnt know what i was looking for lol.....they had it all on one package and i was anxious to get it going so i bought it.

if i would have known ya number i would of called...lol


what do i do to rig up a overheat alarm? also how can i make sure its not overheating? shoud i buy one of those temperature crayons that melt at a certain temp?..if so what temp?

Re: well here she is!
 

Kajun,

Glad to hear ya got her fired up! Sound like it won't be long, the rockfish bite hasn't turned on anyway right :D

I think the alarm/buzzer should be with the controls. To test it, take the wire from eack temp sensor (located on each head, single wire (tan I think) and touch it to ground while the ignition switch in " on".

Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: well here she is!
 

Nice job on the hoist!!

But I think I would add another caster to the legs were you welded the new to the old on the long leg, just for added suport. lot of persure there.

If your using side mount controls the alarm is in there and there is othing to do but wire the boat.

But if using Bincal which it looks like you are then alarm is seprate. mounted inside ther gunnel near the control. at least thats were mine was?

Manual will tell you which wire goes to it.

Re: well here she is!
 

Kajun, you makin' some pretty serious progress w/ your motor...on those T&T wires...green is down (where grass is)...blue is up (where the sky is)... only way I can remember stuff ;) ...plug that VRO and get ya an Accu-Mix bottle $3.99...I don't think rejettin is needed...plugged off VRO on my old Rude, best thing I ever did for her ;D ...
