Paul, I'm on my third starter relay. Had a Cole Hersey piece in which is supposed to be good stuff but one of the studs broke free and I couldn't tighten the nut. So last night I stopped at our nautique dealer and picked up a PCM relay. Feels like a nice solid unit so we'll see. I also ran a jumper wire from the solenoid to the coil so I get full voltage at the coil when cranking. I was only getting 7v because of the ballast resistor and it just didn't want to fire up. Fired up first try after I installed the jumper so hopefully my gremlins are starting to be eliminated.
I hope I've got the shift linkage right now because there's no more adjustment in it, if it's not right I've got to pull it out and make some changes over the winter. When I wired the boat up I installed a 40AMp main breaker, then a 20 amp breaker to the dash feed/fuse block, lights and bilge pump have their own fuses. |

You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails

Paul, if this is the dash that the promo came to you with, then it had been swapped out at some point by a previous owner, presumably with the fuses eliminated. It would have originally had the plastic (fake woodgrain) one with the Correct Craft logo shown above, which CC used in various models from late 1968 through '71 or '72. It looks like the one your boat has/had was made out of wood?

tim,
No evidence of any fuse's in the Promo...the guage cluster looked to be untouched and wires seemed to be the factory position. correct color factory wires nothing added or changed??? |

Errr, I dont think so Paul! Sounds like someone goofed with the boat's wiring before you got it. Your original gauge panel would have had fuses in it. |

Good Deal Paul, I just put the Hurricane all back together last night. Electrical system improvements, trans linkage adjustments, clutch pack adjustment,got the tach working. We'll see if we can't get you a ride this time. |

Hope the wheather holds up!! looks good so far..?
Promo is almost ready. Had to rewire the charging system because the PO aparently thought that chrysler alternators have built in Voltage regulators and wired it like a 1 wire system....NOT!!!! thank god i had a donor boat with the same set up in it!! after 2 days of diagnosing i found 1)bad alternator(No output) 2)bad cut out relay(still not sure how that thing works) and 3) voltage regulator was shot(contacts coroded) Jeez....it just goes to show you never know what you are getting into when you buy a boat. I inherited two major problems when i got this boat...Water pump on backwards and botched charging system!!! The up side to all these problems is...wont ever have a problem fixing the damn thing if it breaks down! Pat....Kim and i will have room if you dare ride with us....but you have to bring a tool box full of tools with ya... can't wait to see everyone..... see ya Friday! |

Unfortunately we had to cancel, so if someone is still looking for a site, #21 should be opened up. We'll make it over to Clinton one of these times. Have fun guys.

I'll be looking at you guys closely for any obvious health problems before I hop in the water! No extra eyes or anything since the last time we saw you guys right? |

sounds like this is shaping up to be a nice gathering! Now we just need to hear from Evans and Dorsen! Sorry to hear the PLBC won't make it! Pray for good weather...RJ is coming so it will definitely rain one day...hahaha! Hope to get a few more coming. just a helpful reminder IF you are going to camp....PLEASE book early because these spots go fast. Prime reality! I would hate to have you down the road IF you wanted to be with the group!
Glad to see all the people making the trip. The water will always be in the upper 80's even that time of the year! Great soaking water! |

Hey Alan, we have a wedding on the 14th, but if we get a wild hair and survive the night, maybe Amy and I will shoot down Sunday for the day. FYI, we are setting up the course tonight for our first run on it and are camping, so we'll be getting some early morning glass tomorrow .
