Nautique 196 - PCM PRO boss 40 gt efi

if he means the giant black rectangle on the back of the engine that has the sparkplug wires coming from it, then yes they are expensive. But I though the trigger(distributor) usually went first? spare coilpacks/fuse boxes are a little hard to come by. I think I may have a spare I'd sell. THe usual and better solution is to ditch is for a standard distributor swap which usually runs around $600US. The catch is you would also have to trash the EFI and spend another $700US to get a carb to swap.

Dreaming, those are breaker/switches, not the ignition.

Foot_Fungus, you have a spare? If you ever want to get rid of it, please, let me know.

And yes, the Pro Tec ignition has many little problems that ultimately leads to its demise. I still have mine, once in a while it does act up, no die why. But it works fantastic when its not acting up. And its really nice because most of the time I dont ever have to pump the throttle for starting, it adjusts the timing and smooths the idle out all on its own, points doesn't do that...

I actually wish my CC had the pro tec, bummer it doesn't...

Hi guys

Talked to the seller again this morning.

He says its called the PME circuit breaker box.

Does this ring a bell :-)?

Thanks for all ya help. Its a bit tempting to build carb ón it.
But it Will Loose some power Right?

I Will get you pictures.

Pictures of the boat.

It has been stolen and now sold to the owner from the insurance.

It's my dream boat, but it needs some work.

Is it possible to get drawings of the original platform to?

I believe there are a lot of mis-matched parts on that boat. Engine box, driver seat appears to be blue (green stripe on hull). There appears to be a lot missing off that GT-40 too. I don't know about drawings for the platform, but they are available in the "Store" on this site.

This should definitely be a low, low price based on the condition and items missing.

I think $3600 is about the right ballpark for '00 to '02 boat in that shape. Obviously the more you can negotiate it down the better.

Rounding up parts is going to be the challenging part. Probably going to have to scour ebay and everywhere else including here to piece it back together. You may decide, in order to move your project along, to buy some of the stuff new. I would imagine much of that stuff is available as replacement (new) parts as well.

Hook up with Zach (Phatsat67 here on CCF) who works at N3 boat works here in the US, they seem to run a lot of boats through that dealership and he is always coming up with creative solutions for used parts, meaning I think they a good number of wrecked boats come through there as well. For instance, you don't necessarily need a complete observers seat, but if you can pick up used shell with the hardware (hinges, lift mechanism and attachments) your a long way ahead over building your own. Much easier to cover a shell then to try and build one from scratch.

I think you have a good project, with time and patience you should be able to whip that thing back into like new condition.

same advice Steve huhh?

It would be a really pretty boat put back the way it was supposed to be. I wasn't a fan of the green on the neutral (masters scheme) hull, but that green is killer on white.

To my knowledge I do not have an observers seat base. I do have platforms but it would probably be cheaper to measure and make your own over there?
I can get pretty good rates via DHL for shipping.

Looks like a closed loop cooling system on that GT-40 pretty rare probably was used in salt water? Check everywhere for corrosion.

If that is already your dream boat wait until you drive it

I hope you're good with electrical wiring. I think that thing is going to be a wiring/electrical nightmare.

Yes, the seller told mé it Was a gt 40 engine.

Is it only a efi engine then ? With out protec?

What does the protec dó?

Thanks

Like lewy said, YES, it being a gt40 makes it much easier to repair and get parts for. I'd send the guys at skidim an email and they can probably direct you to where to find that replacement breaker for cheap.

And YES being a gt40 it does NOT have protec. Again that's a big plus for you.

My plan was to dismount the engine this winter and repaint it and change the things there needs to be changed.
