Re: Odds/Ends
Maybe we could start a "World's Stupidest Boat Mods" thread, you think you got it bad until you see what someone else gets to fix!

Re: Odds/Ends
Went out and had some new cables made today. Shocked by the price of copper because of the war and all. They wanted 51 bucks for the cables, used the city of Lewes discount *;D and paid only 25 bucks. The old cables were on the boat when I got her. Looked like they were from some old Chevy pick up. *;D ;D ;D

Re: Odds/Ends
Replaced my rectifier today. Didnt do anything differnt.
Had my Mecr. manual out as well. Doesnt tell you what to look for if you have to many volts. Maybe nothing is wrong at all. I just never noticed my volt guage go so high before. My this is supose to do this ? I have no ideas here.  My tac and volt guage was the engine is at idle. Figured it should be at 12 volts, but its a bit to high maybe ??  Replaced my old battery cables. Not a big deal, but with my screwed up neck and pinched nerve, it was a pain.  Motor runs fine, but no tilt still. *:-/  Hey AIRSLOT, notice that my solinoids are located on the port side with this homemade bracket.  One thing I did learn from reading my Merc manual is that when checking the solinoids, it states that if you hear a clicking noise from each of te solinoids, it indicates that they are working. I hear the clicking so now fearing I gotta yank the DAMM trim motor that I wasnt hoping to do. :-[ BigShrimp is sending me some good used solinoids and I'm gonna replace them and see what happens. If that fails. Off comes the engine bracket and a search on E-Bay for a trim motor and a price that I can afford. The only thing I worry about is disconnecting the steering arm again. When I played with the steering last season, I broke the big nut to the steering tube. *:-X

Re: Odds/Ends
clicking selenoids only indicate the selenoid is getting a voltage input from the switch, it still may not be making contact over the primary poles, get a test light and check it before you start pulling the trim mototr off
