I'm really not sure. I got them with the boat and never saw any markings on them. When I get them back I'll have a better look. they do work great though.

Well not much happened this weekend, I needed to get it in the water after re-sealing the strainer to see if that's where the water is leaking in from, but that didn't happen. I am waiting on a new stainless fitting for my flush kit so I can get that in but it didn't come in Friday like I thought. I did however tidy a few things and finish my outlet for the second bilge pump. First things first I need to finish the stereo up, so maybe next weekend (if I can get parts ordered this week) I will do stereo stuff.
Now on to the planning stages for "project dash refit". Here is the plan, I have read of some issues concerning the electric motor controlling the shift lever on the transmission so maybe a cable selector would be better. I'm thinking of pulling the dash, glassing up the unused mounting holes and the hole that is the trim switch (lower left), installing the new Lenco LED tab switches where existing switches are (top left panel) and adding two more gauges (left of wheel). The trim switch will be on the new throttle lever, heres what I'm thinking of. with my angle bezels coated flat red as well as the mounting plate at the steering wheel. What do you guys think?

I'm running a mirage plus 23p now. Thinking of this, will it fit a TRS?

Well I made a list tonight... this list, is of the one thing I have been waiting for since I first looked at this boat to purchase. It all started in 1979-1980, My parents had a 1957 30 something foot Chris Craft Constellation (I think) and my dad was looking for a new boat, I was 11 or 12 years old. I went with my dad one day to look for a new boat at Excalibur, when there we looked at a couple boats, one was a red and white 24 and I remember being in awe at what seemed to be huge exhaust pipes exiting the transom and the lifeline spanning the deck... it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. My dad ended up buying a stupid Chris Craft Lancer, but I never forgot that Excalibur, and every time I look down the deck and see those filled holes from the removed lifeline on my boat, I remember that day at Excalibur. I'm ordering all my lifeline parts!

i don't think the strainer would leak when running. the pump is pulling through the strainer. so it would be sucking air in through any leak while running. if it doesn't leak when floating with engine off and leaks when running i think it has to be after the raw water pump.

Yea, it looks as if the water is coming in from a few places. Various fittings and thru hulls are weeping water. Fixing them now.
