The power for the NMEA 2000 backbone is on a separate switch at the helm. As soon as I start the engines I turn on the switch (or turn it off and on) so the engines can notify the Fox devices.

I still have the Fox Marine Gateways and they still work great! I recently added a Raymarine A128 and it sees the Fox Marine data was well.

Star b Star bolts on top yes, however the throttle cable is attached to the throttle body and will prevent you removing it easily. There are also sensor wires and a vac tube underneath it that may bind when removing it in one piece.

My WWD802M stopped spinning. I pulled the motor and the repair place said it was fine and was probably the control board. I just sent an email to Dinosaur. Is your washer (board) still working as repaired?

Not fun for mine either...

I think it looks great! How is the boat running?

I will check and run the tests again.

The manual said 100 psi was the minimum and that was the worst cylinder. I could have warmed up the engine more but #97-25 says to check at room temperature.

All done and put back together. New heads, exhaust, sensors, new exchanger and coolers, hoses, wires and and added Neutra-Salt systems. Compression is around 110 and the engine runs smooth. I still have a slight issue with the throttle and rpms (as I did before) that I need to track down. No...

Due to growth and worms here in Southern California we need to have a company come out once a month and clean the bottom of the boat. The diver will also check/replace anodes if needed. It is $68 a month and keeps the bottom clean and helps prolong the paint.

Uh oh. I measured the existing transducer and bought a Garmin one with the same measurements. I hope I do not have to have them cut another hole...

Good to see the transducer is ready. I like your approach. I ran an 8-pin 30' extension cable down the starboard side since I had to remove the upholstery panels due to a window leak. It then goes behind the microwave and the fridge to the transducer location. Your route probably would have been...

It was the exhaust valve seat as you said.

I think it is just the reflection of the oil I sprayed it down with and the angle of the light but I will be sure to check it again before I put on the heads!

I tore down it down to the block last weekend and got it cleaned up. I have the new heads and other new parts ready to go at home. I had the brackets all blasted and powdercoated, and purchased all new coolers as well as new hoses. I also bought new sensors, sea water pump, exhaust and even a...
