Also think twice about replacing the toggle switches. They are all little circuit breakers, so if you change them you are going to have to put in another breaker panel or fuse each one of them.


Most of those already have a breaker in the boat. It was a double protection. The ones that don't can be handled with an inline fuse. Spoke with formula about this as I hate those switches.

Also +1 on the auto meters. Love em

Everything is working out good I've got a few tanks of fuel through it with no major problems. Diego my boat is identical to yours. I need to make a photobucket account to get the pics.

Is it the one with red carpet inside? If yes, I saw it on eBay a while ago, it was out of Lake Erie as I remember

If I am not mistaken "motocop" here in Oso went to see it.

It's got red carpet. It's on a tandem axel white steel trailer if that helps. I need to quit being lazy and get some pics on here.
