Great, call when you and Ron are available.

Would like very much to try them!! Joe is going to do some fine tuning on the engines in the boat. Maybe we can all get together one weekend and go for a little lunch run!!

One side would not plug in for some reason... After fooling with it for 20minutes or so I just pulled the drive off and mounted the engine.... Once the engine was in place the drive went right on... Go figure! lol

Getting the boat ready for Key West next month!! Cant wait!!

My not so old Graffrig gauges were full of water, rusted under the lens, and you had to bang on them to get them to work.... Big POS...

So here is the new Livorsi install!!



Nightmare I started with. I can't believe people actually get paid to do work like this... They need to find a new career...

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...psae846413.png





Livorsi uses Deutch connectors!! Just so happens I have been working with them for the last 15 years at Cat!! And have all the tooling!! Perfect!!
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...psbab40fbe.jpg





Double Wire Crimp to feed the next gauge inline
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2c11733e.jpg





Wires installed into the connector
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...psaa80dca8.jpg





Ordered a bunch of connectors to make the install clean!
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5ff968d6.jpg





Building the gauge harness.
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...psdf680910.jpg





Installing the gauges.
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9d2b3950.jpg





All wired up.
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...ps42cb568d.png





Cleaned up the wiring in the boat! Plug and Play now!!
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...ps73465b49.jpg



Still have to do the rest of the gauges, will keep you updated. Livorsi has a couple on backorder right now. Also Getting rid of the drivers side GPS (For Now) and putting in a 5"GPS speedo... Thats all i used that GPS for anyways lol to see how fast I was going.

Going to let Glass Dave install one of his dash caps next year... This will have to work for now.

Definitely looks similar to building ECM wiring harnesses! What do you do for Cat? I work at mossville in TCL.

I was a heavy equipment technician. I mostly did dealer certified rebuilds on 992 & 988 Cat Loaders. Basically break it down to a bare frame & rebuild every compnent.. Engine, Trans, Pumps, Cylinders, Diffs, Cab, Wiring etc. Put it all back together and give the customer a 3 year warranty!!


I ended up leaving in 2007 after about 15 years.. I sell Real Estate now!! Imagine that lol

Nice work

Finished up the new gauges for Key West! Everything is Plug & Play now!!
