Ok, so now that i had the boat out a little later again, I put the Anchor lights on and the front lights. Did not take very long before the volt light (idiot light) came on and the voltage read about 10-11 volts. i turned the lights back off and the volts went back to 13-14 volts. Do you guys think there is a short somewhere? Where should I start to look?
Thanks for the help. Dan |

Its not a short. The power and ground wires running to our dashboards are notoriously undersized. All the Nautiques from the early 90's that Ive seen hehave the same way. Try running an extra power and ground and it should help.

Thanks Tim.
Hey I've gotta ask. Do you have a real job or do you drive al over the country to reunions, and sit at a desk and help out guys like me for a living? Just messing with you! Thanks for all the great advice. Did you do a thorough check with those props that you had on order yet? Thanks Dan |

I wish I got paid for that! Ive run most of the props, but havent done the comparo with numbers yet. The new props from Acme (1442) and OJ (428) are still sitting in their boxes. Time has been tight lately and will be for a few more weeks... hopefully Ill find the time to sneak in some testing. |
