79 Nautique

If I do go to the mechanical type is it the same type as the automotive or something special?

John,
Why the electric pump? Put the mechanical back on the engine.

Here's some help.   The top two rows are not my boat so I can't attest to 100% original, but the front seats are the right style (unsure about the piping) and sure looks nice..   The lower row is my interior (sad I know).   I dont have rips, so going to give the SEM treatment a go... for a season at least. Anyone used that product?     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzlJac7yFOg.    Reupholstery & re-carpet down the line once mechanical is situated.


Here's the pics - hope it helps:)

Wow. I went back in thread you have done a lot. It’s summer Most folks are busy playing

Update:
New Graphics


New Interior

Showing old paint comes off with razor blade

Another question. Cranked up motor after getting water out of gas and adding new filters and lines, now my Tach isn't working.
I have a wiring diagram for the 83 is it the same for the79?
Suggestions..

The problem I'm having is the carpet is bunching up (on the side where it curves back towards bow); no place for it to lay flat. Should I maybe just make a cut-don't really want a seam but if that is what it takes.

Hey need some HELP ; I just tried to install new carpet and it looked good until I tried to glue it down. The sides where the hull curves in starting buckling out(would not lay flat).
I'm trying to put it down all in 1 piece, is that the problem?????

Next question. Where would one find that black rubber strip 1 1/2" wide that is on the big piece of wood behind the engine box(2 of them)? PO removed damn near everything original in this boat

I don't think you have that quite right They were called vents a couple times in the thread and that's what they are.

Like you said in your vapor lock thread, one is the outlet vent for the blower but the other is also an outlet vent for air from the bilge area with no blower just a hose attached to it running down low in the bilge area behind the tank.

The inlet to the bilge area is the front hood scoop, through some ducting to the bilge area up forward of the driver's feet under the front deck.

The two 'red things' are the in/out for the blower system.

Marine doesn’t matter but as pointed out above if you get automotive you’ll need to buy the adapters that you clamp on the battery lugs that have the studs on them. Group is a definition of size. All Group 65 batteries have the same dimensions. So you need a group 65 battery with at least 650 CCA and 120 amp hours. That’s what will fit and what will work for starting the boat. You want either marine starting or just a regular automotive battery with stud adapters.

I already sent him a email and soon as my slow a$$ boat guy gets done will send them.
He's been cutting them out for weeks but nothing in boat
