What type of marine paint stripper should I use to remove the black/gold/blue stripe on my 1989 Cafe Racer in preparation for a vinyl wrap?

I always used my parallel switch when I started my Cafe motors. They just spun faster doing that.
I use high quality 93 octane fuel so never bothered with any snake oils. Sometimes I would use stabilizer over the winter and sometimes I didn't. Never noticed a shred of difference, but I never ran the boat hard either. I have a ton of Cafe stuff electronically if you would like it. Could send to you tomorrow - manuals, working diagrams, etc...... PM me your email address if you'd like it..... |

Seafordguy, could you please send me any info you have also? I bought an 89 Cafe recently and would like to have as much info as possible.

I would also much appreciate the manuals & diagrams for my cafe project.
I sent via email to both of you. Let me know if you don't receive.... Eric |
Today's question: There are two sounders behind the instrument panel; I assume engine alarms. The port unit has two pairs of wires: a purple wire to each terminal and a grey wire to each terminal. The starboard unit also has a purple and grey pair but the grey pair was taped off and the purple pair had bare wires wrapped around the terminals with no ring lug or nut. The engines are 496 MAG. What is the correct wiring for the sounders and why are there two wire pairs?

FiveTwelve, if you haven't noticed, shotty mechanics that can't figure out why an engine alarm continues to sound will cut the wires as their grand fix..... et voila - no more pesky alarm going off and the customer has no idea there is an issue at any time.

And, while on the subject of noise makers, where is the Horn (my horn buttons doesn't work)? The horns are located in the very front of the vberth thru that access hatch. They are mounted vertically on the unfinished hatch support wall. |
Anderson Power Pole connectors.
Is there a standard among Cigarette users for using Anderson Power Pole connectors to connect/disconnect jumper cables to assist other boaters or to get a jump yourself?
