Hey guys, I was hoping you could help me with something. I am about to reinstall the throttle controls whihc I took out and disassembled before I moved out of my house. I was cleaning and painting and regreasing all the parts in the controls and had everything laid out in order but then I ahd to pack up and move. Needless to say, I forgot where what goes, lol.
I have put the internal parts back together but the part I cant figure out is how the brackets that mount the control cables to the control assembly are suppossed to be aligned. I was hoping somebody had a picture of the back of their controls. I will try to get the parts set up so I can take a picture to shwo you guys what I am tlaking about.

Also, wotan or sybrmike, I think I will be running a 4 gauge wire from the starter to the alternator. My question is, what size fuse did yoiu put in line with that?
-
Not sure if this is the exact one, but most of the throttles are fairly universal

I installed a 140A alternator, so pretty sure I used a 150A fuse?

I just thought I'd address the foam issue mentioned several posts back. Firstly, extruded polystyrene, (blue or pink Styrofoam) cut to fit and glued in place with low expansion foam would be my first choice. The extruded stuff (as opposed to the white expanded polystyrene) is closed cell and does not absorb water. I like the idea that if for some unforeseen reason you punch a hole in the hull, (rock, deadhead, wakeboarder, limpet mine), you will take on water slow enough to get the boat back and out of the water, but if that's open space...

So, I was trying to do some wiring on the boat the other weekend...JEEZ! What a nightmare! I was hoping some of you could help me with some of this.
Back at the gas tank area I have a harness that comes from the helm. In this harness there is three black wires, which I would assume are grounds. Then their is a pink, a yellow, and a gray with black stripe. I see that the pink goes to the fuel tank. However, coming off the fuel tank there are three wires, a black, a pink, and a green. There also seems to be a green wire coming from the underside of the fuel filler cap. Any ideas on what in the heck that is? I was thinking that the yellow wire went to the blowers or the bilge pump? Also, the transom light looks like it wasnt even gonnected, it has a black and a green wire coming from it. Any ideas?

Will, without spending a bunch of time going back and forth between this thread and my records for my comp, I know you have a salt but bear with me here... On the aft harness the following wires go to the following items if installed.
Gray/Black = Transom light
Pink = Fuel sending unit
Brown = Manual bilge
Brown/White= Auto bilge
Yellow/Black = Aft blower
Black = Ground

I don't know if this will help or not, but here's a shot of the wiring around my tank area as found when I first tore into it. The pink wire is going to the fuel sending unit.
