not sure if mine are dual voltage but i don't think so. my motors are out and my elec system is not a complete loop right now. right now they will only power up if i hot wire the dc bus.
I'm putting new ignition switches in. are these typically the type that are push to prime? the motors that i pulled were mercruisers 5.7 and I'm putting in indmar 5.7's
I have a super-newby question (so please be kind! - and I did search). I am looking at a nice 1989 300 Weekender that I can get for a good price (and this is my first boat). My only concern (other than problems I don't yet know about) is getting to the foredeck. I see pictures of people sitting on it, and I assume one has to get there to access the anchor. My question is how does one get to it 'safely'? Newer boats have walk-through windshields but it looks like the only way to access the foredeck on this boat is to carefully walk around the side, holding onto the windshield (which I did). I have two young granddaughters (and a wife) and I'm sure that at some point one of them (or I) would slip and crack their head before falling into the water. Is this just something to avoid on these boats or am I missing something? (Thanks for your kind and patient replies :wink.

Happy New Year, all! Hope everyone's enjoyed some great time with family and friends, whether on the water or landside. For those who have to wait for boating season....the days are getting longer....!!!!
Does anyone know a source for replacements for the swivel directional lights over the dinette? Can't tell if these are original or not--rectangular housing mounted flush with two screws in opposite corners, with an eyeball type fixture accessible to pull out/drop in from above in the window shelf. The flared opening of the eyeball fixture hangs lower than the housing. Dimensions of the housing are 3.5" x 2.5"; bulb end of fixture is 1.5". I'm finding plenty of options with round housings online, but would like to avoid re-cutting the hole if possible. Finish is almost a matte/frosted looking silver metal, probably brushed nickel by today's color standards.
One of the two existing is damaged so we can't install a bulb in it properly; if I can find a close color/finish match, I'll get just one, but if I find the right dimensions I'd consider getting two and changing color if necessary. TIA!
Are yours like this? It's the closest match visually/functionally, and there are lots available; one lists dimensions of 4" x 4" x 4" so that might be ok and require only a little little jigsaw work to seat properly in the existing holes.Your description sounds different from what my lights look like. I know mine are original to my boat. You may be better off if yours are aftermarket. It would likely be easier to find a replacement that matches.
Can you post a pic of yours?
We may be out there this weekend so I'll snap a pic to share. And one of First Mate's friends tinkers with all things electrical, so there may be a long shot chance he could re-solder the socket or something and salvage it.T, post me a photo or send it to my email please. I might be able to help
