Well, the indian summer has poked out its head and the forecast is looking great for the weekend. We are heading to portage Saturday AM and will be overnighting there till sunday. Winds are supposed to be 9mph from the south so the lake should be flat. Anyone else besides ICDEDPPL (he is ALWAYS THERE) interested in coming down? I would image a michigan city or new buffalo run could be arranged....

10-04-2011 06:07 PMYou only need oil pressure and tach gauges, and a working kill teather. No wait, those motors will turn 5500+ so just oil pressure...... Originally Posted by OBNOXUS

Not sure how much was bastardized in that boat, but I do know most fountains had plugs located inside the gunwales, that connected to the engine side harnesses. Allows you to unplug and remove the dash without having to cut wires and what not. Had my dash out last winter and attempted to decipher what they had going on behind the dash wiring wise. After about 5 minutes, I decided to start from scratch. Was able to get it all straightened out. After installing in the boat, only issue I had was oil temp gauge was showing high oil temp on one engine, ground wire had popped off while installing. Fixed that and all has been well.
I may be able to come by the shop Thursday with my fountain test light and maybe we can work on dash and install a couple extra drive showers and bolt on some rubber hubbed 3 blade aluminium props for joeys initial run
