The main negative cable attaches somewhere on the engine. I have mine attached to the back of the starboard side cylinder head.

Not sure on the 1st part, the forum really shrinks down the pics....

2. When I put the motor back in the boat how can I tell how far back to put it? I assume just matching it where the exhaust hoses from the engine that meet the stainless exhaust tubes will work?
...

This forum is so slow, I don't think that you are going to find anyone to post pictures. However Bakes Online does have a picture of the letter from Indmar regarding generally where and how to...

I noticed on the last outing that the throttle delay is missing. So when you move the throttle at the helm the engine starts revving up before the transmission is fully in gear. I pulled the Morse...

What model of Supra do you have? We need to know what model to provide the length of cable.

Third time is a charm. Finally got a VIN assigned and now eligible for getting registration for the trailer. :D Just in time for an upcoming trip to a lake that actually has water. In that time...

Texas got a lot more stringent on boat and trailer registration since Hurricane Ike. There was a lot of people that were claiming abandoned and lost boats and trailers. It used to be a lot easier...

Another set back. The trailer does not have a vin that I can find anywhere on the trailer. So I went to the sheriff to start the process of getting the trailer registered as a homemade trailer. ...

I'm not sure where you might be able to find them, but I would look at the model numbers by the contacts and google those to see what comes up. Digikey maybe has them.

Congrats on the new boat. Does look like it got pulled out of forest.

In terms of restoring the gelcoat, I would first get it cleaned to get rid of the dirt and grime. Then be prepared to get an...

That sounds like a dead battery. I just replaced a battery that was outputting 12.3v but would not turn over the engine. On the flip side, I had a bad connection on my battery and was only getting...

To my knowledge the few 91's that were composite were late production runs. No way to really tell unless you pull a bolt out of the stringer. But I would imagine that if the floor is rotten that...

Thanks for the idea. I replaced the packing during the rebuild. What I'm trying to understand is that just sitting in the water or on the trailer, I can move the steering wheel with just my...

Now that I have gotten some hours on the rebuilt ‘81 Sport, I’ve noticed that steering while underway is very laborious. On land you can move the steering wheel with just 2 fingers and I bought a new...

I just checked jegs, summit and Michigan motorz and they all say that they have marine 351w in stock. I know that 351w parts are getting harder to find but I highly doubt they are in back order.

I know that when you get more into the racing side, the distributor can have shims to help with the positioning. However with a standard 351w the size and distances are known so getting the gear...

I would go with option 3. Distributors are pretty easy to replace as there is nothing too special about them and getting them setup. I would suggest going with an GM HEI style distributor like a...

First thing I would do is verify timing, then if timing is good start looking at the rest of the ignition. Check the coil, then plugs then cap and rotor.

Is there any adjustment in the guides? My last trailer had a bolt that I could loosen or tighten to move the guide in or out. Maybe a picture of what you have could help find alternatives.

Well 2nd shakedown run ended on the boat ramp. Starter went out, so Amazon to the rescue; new marine starter came in 2 days later and now starts even quicker. Not sure how that is even possible. You...

After 30 year out of the water, the boat finally left the trailer. She is not the bell of the ball yet, but at least she is on the water. It was a good shake down outing and helped identify some...

It does not take much to cause a little vibration. We damaged a prop when we put the trans in gear and there was a branch in the prop. Things to check are shaft run out, strut bearing and then the...

With enough time and money you can get whatever engine you want in there. I've seen a few Mailbus and Nautiques that have been Duramax swapped. There are a few options, direct swap, upgrade,...

Perfect pass is fairly plug and play. They have a lot of their manuals online and I have heard that their customer service is great. Though depending on what display you have (single line or two...

Here we are 3 months later and the saying is true the last 10% takes 90% of the time. It also did not help that the weather was not very conducive to working. I got the bow floor repaired and...
