Dark blue would normally be cockpit lights. gray would be the NAV (red/green) bow light

Are you saying you are reaching thru a 6" piehole? Not familiar with the 282 layout but if possible, unscrew and remove a deck panel. That will let you in there with a shoulder or two. Later, put in a larger deck hatch so you can get a shoulder or two elbows in there. Those pie holes are...

In a single motor configuration, it would charge the "2" battery while the switch is on "1". You would not have to use the switch to alternate batteries to keep both charged. Everyone with a single should use this.... In a "factory" twin setup, there are two battery banks and two switches...

plb is fine

My crew struggles with the forward hatch. Constantly pushing it to far and popping out the rubber stoppers. The braces come out of the track. It is a nightmare to get both of them back in. I added some screws behind the rubber stoppers. Should have used a bigger drillbit, but it still works.

OK, so after many different tests of mounting, over pulpit, then under, then under with a wedge, then maybe remove pulpit, I finally just kept it simple stupid and went over the top. To clarify things; Normal mounting has you angle the motor toward the gunnel. On a CC that keeps it out of...

Look at pix in this thread. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/3-way-fuel-selector-moeller-033302-10.39055/ There was an orange placard for valve position. Not all models have the valves in the same place but I think the placards were all the same. I have since used green and red tape on the...

So I found an easier way that didn’t involve drilling a hole. Used the port side, top gunnel rod grommet to mount the new 30A shore power inlet Installed new Fs30 galvanic isolator near the AC panel l

absolutely ditch the glass fuses. get this.... but you'll have to replace all wire ends with ring terminals. Its getting increasingly hard to find the old style with the 1/4" spade terminals but they are out there It simplifies your project a little.

NICE! Glad you got the right props first try. One thing to be careful of is the ease of shifting and the detent position between Neutral out of gear and "IN gear at idle". I back into my slip in a strong current. When backing you tend to not look at the F-N-R on the gauges. Very easy to...

I think he wants to lessen the load on the motor. That can be done either way, lower dia or lower pitch. or in some cases lowering one and raising the other. I'm not an expert on these things There are reasons and trade offs for everything. I know the "Offshore" props tend to lower diameter...

the smaller diameter 13.75 vs 15.5 comes into play also Dennis. You can go down in diameter and up in pitch... or vice versa.... or just do one....

What I can say is that 1/4" spade connecter looks original and it has a loop off of it that probably also had a 1/4" spade connector on it. That would mean it very probably went to a switch. Very much like the original Fuel sender wire to the Main/Aux readout switch. I can also say that on my...

sounds like a lot of trouble finding struts with the right force to hold it up but also allow it to be lowered fully. Let us know what you find.
