Not just donations- but a campaign fund!!!:cool-smiley-011:

I replaced the harness from merc...Remember mine was underwater in the salt....Everything on mine needed to be done regardless.

I just purchased some new fuse panels for under the dash. They take the updated ATC fuses instead of the glass types. I dont have the link to where I bought them at work but I can get it tonight if you want. They were priced right! :D

Here is my wiring schematic. Feel free to use it for ideas if you want...or not.

Coming along nicely!

Is that the factory location of the water inlets? Mine come in from the rear. :rolleyes:

yes that was the factory location...somone added offshore pickups on your boat...probley when they added rod holders:D

LMAO!!

Oh real Nice, Your just jealous!

Besides once I install the out riggers I will be able to troll for tuna at 40MPH :evilb:

I will make sure to let you know when I post the rod holders on ebay, I am sure you will want to bid on them! LOL :D

In all seriousness, Is it possible the s-types came with offshore pickups, because I don't see any remains of the old pickups?

I am assuming the offshore are better?

My S-type came factory with the tru hulls like scotts. Yours is a little newer and had bigger engines from the factory( due to your borg warner and offshore motor mounts.) It would not suprise me if they came that way from the factory.

No way- If Westcoast and myself don't have it- it can't be cool:evilb:

I think those pickups are so you can run down riggers!!:D

Is there a snowballs' chance in hell it will be done next month? I will be up on the 17th for a week at CDA.

Ha Ha Ha :D

Just send cash and I will guarentee it will get done- you have my word on it.:D

There is a guy on E-Bay called genuinedealz that sells marine wiring, shrink terminals and assesories for a good price. Do not use any wires that are not tinned, too much work to redo it later due to corrosion... I still have a wiring harness diagram for the rest of your boat if you need it (mine is the faster outboards style, not truck engine powered...):D

Wow- not feeling the love there:D

If you wouldn't mind sending me the diagram I would appreciate it.

By the way- like your Calvacade- Is that considered vintage?

So for anyone that is running Edelbrock Air-Gap Manifolds- Merc does not make a waterpump hose that fits- and nothing is made automotive that I could find, so Bob of RBI made me some 3" extensions.

And I got my battery boxes from Teague- great guys to work with!

The love??? For the last few pages someone was making fun of rodholders.... just had to throw it in...:D

Send me an e-mail: [email protected] and I will send you the digram, no prob.

I don't have the Cavalcade yet, still looking for that perfect sample of one... Yeah they are close to vintage, but best touring macine as to date in my opinion... I used to race bikes for a living and had enough of superbikes, thought a touring bike would be perfect and the wifey is all for it...

And you are WOWing my standards??? Those looks awesome and in comparison mine are made out of angle iron....

Contrary to popular belief I dont like fishing but it's about time someone stuck up for my rod holders :D

I am sure they work perfect

So I pulled my oil pan today- went to put the new one on- and its not even close. This is the story of my life. Are the oil pans different on Mark IV and Mark V? :mad:

Oil pan??? Working on your truck again?:evilb: :D

yup mark 4 s have a one piece main seal and the gen 5s have a 2 piece main seal. or is the other way around i never can remember.

Correct other way around...

Beats working on a weed wacker:D

That blue haze is going to your head again- :cool-smiley-011:

I am such a idiot- I forgot the starboard engine was gen V. :angry-smiley-038:

Hey, go easy on an old fart.....:D

Just got the news that they will outlaw twostrokes that are not fuelinjected from 2013 here on Lake Mead. I haven't read the entire script yet and don't know if a MAD EFI setup on my 8's will qualify or not.. If not, I will have to get myself another three or four engines and start the rigging all over again:mad:

My question is; can't my engines be grandfathered in? Anybody know how this stuff work? Maybe I can get a grant to replace my engines??

I dunno, time will tell I guess... until then I am enjoying the wonderful fumes of my good old two strokes..:D (You guys should see how fast I can clear the dock when I start them cold....)

LMAO! :D

This is the beauty of having twin engines. $$$$$$$$$$ So you have both a IV and a V?

Yes- when I first got my boat and pulled the port engine (if you look back in the thread you can see how bad it was) I went to great lengths to get a 4 bolt main Gen IV, so everything would match. Then I decided to rebuild the starboard side, and come to find out it was a Mark V( which if I had known that before it would have made my life a lot easier and less expensive). The problem is it has been so long since I did that(2 years) I forgot. :angry-smiley-038:
:stupid:

What are you going to do for fuel pumps?

[QUOTE=Westcoast;2605449]What are you going to do for fuel pumps?[/QUOTE

Electric- Holley red. Already have them. Heres a question for you- tank, fuel pump then filter or tank, filter then fuel pump?

[QUOTE=scottie150;2605491]I went tank-filter-pump.

Dash before paint and guages-:D

[QUOTE=Westcoast;2605493]Thanks- 98 degrees tomorrow, going to cheat and take out a new FXSHO- you need to get that house stuff done and take a vacation!!:evilb:

Lets see how those motors are coming along.

Well- as you can see in the photos- I need a new oil pan. Once again no one in town has a gen V, so I have to order it. Again. Once I get that done I am pretty much good to go- I was thinking of running the tranny cooler line off of the thermostat housing and then out the side like yours is(kind of like a telltale). I have to figure out what to buy to cleanly mount the remote oil filter, and I should be good to go. Another question- I have Mallory Unilite distributors, do I need to run a resistor?

more-

I once ran Mallory ignition with and without the resistor. If I remember right I blew the module (eye) out (and I was not using the resistor) so when I went to replace it the tech said the resistor helps protect the module-which can be fragile if the system is not set up right. So run the resistor. I would also run a smaller fuel filter between pump and carb-I have had bad luck here in the past and the filter before carb would have saved me much trouble. Are you running a "boat oil pan" or a car oil pan?

Well, lets start that debate right now because I haven't ordered anything yet- the stock one is a marine 7 quart. The ones I got(wrong) were racing 6 quart. If I was running a 700 hp supercharged monster that would be one thing, but these are just 468's with all the good stuff(heads, crank, rods, pistons,etc) so what do you guys think?
