Re: New to me Skater.
Thanks FRED!
The last of the order arrived yesturday.
Maybe I shoudnt say last.
I have most of the dash completed still waiting on the bluewater indicators.
The helm is in place.
Wiring is 90% complete on the dash side.
After speaking with Peter at Skater I am going to
modfy the cabin entrance. I will post some pictures.

Re: New to me Skater.
Fuel system.
Lets take a look at what they ran for turbines.
I removed all the hoses.
I see two returns one pickup.
The -4 return will be pluged
The 1/2 inch return will use.
Electric Pump is huge and usable
as well as the filter housing. I will leave the filter
until I empty the tanks. Look like # 2 heating oil
or deisel.

Re: New to me Skater.
Lets take the pickups out and look at the inner dimensions.
They are 3/8 a little small for my comfort.

Re: New to me Skater.
Planned fuel system will be #10 out of pump to fuel rail
back of fuel rail return regulator out to #8 return to tank
fuel pressure gauges also.
The pump is good for 260gph.
Once I get the batteries hooked up I will turn the pumps
on and time the amount of time it takes to fill a gallon container I like to see under 9 seconds.
should be good for 1200 hp.
Oh yeah the port looks like it is fill I think I will try to
use it in my garage. I wonder how much they hold?

Re: New to me Skater.
You may want to check yours Tom.
The rigging on yours is class A!
But better safe then sorry.
With the kind of power your running you need all
of 1/2 inch.
Here is what I have done with the wiring.
I realize it aint no bobby moore rig but it should work.
Once completed I will tighten the wraps and add some
ss cushion clamps.

Re: New to me Skater.
Here is the ruff cut to the cabin entrance.
It was on your hands and knees before.
Notice how the dash support works its way to the floor
that was Pete,s determining factor it was structualy safe.
The cut follows the 1/4 canopy.
Now when the west system resin gets here I will finish
it off.

Re: New to me Skater.
Here is the Battery boxes Trick marine got me
They fit perfect. Nice and simple. I chose to move
the batteries forward.
All of the wiring to the battery switches is complete.
I was able to utilize the turbine cables.
0/2 big stuff.
Ofcourse I got high on the Awlgrip applied first.
