Don't know... I'll see what's up this afternoon, hopefully.

Let me know where you find lenses. Joe -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scotty" wrote in message . .. "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... have juice, fuel, I called the yard where she had some engine work done (tune up, oil change, and the like). Oh, it's not our fault, maybe you're out of gas (no), maybe you don't have her in neutral (no neutral safety switch on this boat - something to think about adding). Don't, they're stupid. When I called the previous owner to confirm that it didn't have one, he told me he started the engine a couple of times in reverse. :-} yes, but you're too smart to do that. Come back, and we'll look into it... of course, it's a good hour or so in such light winds, and guess what they close in 1/2 hour. Frustrated, I called the former owner, who couldn't think of any reason this would happen. Never happened to him in 10 years. Must be a disconnected wire, but he's busy at work, and the manual is in my car (note for later, put manual on boat). Called the yard back... they said, oh, maybe we forgot to tighten the wire to the starter solenoid. Unfortunately, I have no idea where this wire is. Sailing in the wee hours I noticed my nav lights dimming, went to start the engine ( with the starter batt) and nada. I also hove to as the battery was too low to trust the AP. The selenoid wire had broken , right at the terminal end. I stripped it and put it back on bare wire. Got a terminal 3 days later. I need to replace the lenses. lenses???? |
