    Total boat electrical refit - looking for advice

    Thanks, but can a 911 operator not locate your phone? Or is "this just on tv" or within urban areas? I'll definitely be looking into VHF radios and their effectiveness in Canada. I would think that the great lakes coast guard on both sides should be reachable with VHF due to the shipping...

    Total boat electrical refit - looking for advice

    Thanks, I know nothing of VHF radios so good to know. I fish Lake Huron/Georgian Bay, Lake Ont, French River/Lake Nippising and hoping for Lake St Clair. The French can be quite remote with poor cell reception. The Helix has both but the Topo maps are not as detailed as iphone/tablet. And the...

    Total boat electrical refit - looking for advice

    Thanks. I’m planning on putting the 2 troller batts up front under the bow seats, up tight to the helms (one per side). So probably lighter gauge?

    Any chance you have pics of the support and securing clips (if any)? this is part of what I intended also for the same reasons.

    Interesting project, I love the Holidays. If I can ever find me a clean 22` for a good deal... Why the longer transom deck? looks? function? both? Looks great so far. subscribed

    Total boat electrical refit - looking for advice

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to pick up components to do full refit on my 16' runabout. (early fish and ski with an outboard motor) The boat currently has next to nothing in it. (bilge, cig lighter, nav/anchor lights) I'm scrapping all the original wiring/knobs and adding or re-adding the...

    Early Starcraft Super Sport dashboard ideas?

    looks great, what did you do with the other side? I was thinking of making it fold down to expose a glove box. or perhaps a cubby with a VHF(?) radio and USB ports inside for charging phones out of the elements. I just might use my helix for rpm and speed and skip the gauges. I like the flat...

    Early Starcraft Super Sport dashboard ideas?

    Thanks. I picked up a Helix 7 this year. I could use it for speed and a tach but I do like classic gauges also. even without those, the real estate on the original dash is pretty small for all the toggle controls I’d like to add. I’d also like digital volt meters too for the battery systems

    Early Starcraft Super Sport dashboard ideas?

    @Watermann, did this helm cluster assembly come from the factory or did you add it? I’ve got my interior stripped out, need to source my wiring and gauge goodies very soon

    Removing steering from dash?

    Update; I have discovered that this type of steering needs to be disassembled under the dash. The rack disconnects from the spindle housing. Just in case anybody else with this type of steering wanted to know. The previous owner of this boat might’ve tried driving the steering out by...

    1985 16ss. Sylvan

    Would like to see more pics of your Sylvan. I bought one, stripped it and sold it earlier this year. Would have liked to keep it as another resto project but I needed the cash. I liked the fact sylvan used aluminum sheet for the vee - bench seats and the front of the helms as opposed to the...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I’m keeping that original vinyl intact along the gunnels and bow area. It’s close to the blue nautolex I used for the rear floor area when I did the transom (see 2-3 pages back) I like the retro 70’s thing blue on white theme

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Had a spell of mild weather, so she got gutted yesterday. Hundreds of pounds of waterlogged ply, foam and the temp floor I screwed down got ripped out. There was literally nothing left of the original plywood. Half was so rotten and wet that my gloves got soaked pulling it out in tiny pieces...

    Removing steering from dash?

    Thanks, I’ve attempted that. I removed 2machine screws that attach the bezel to the dash, but the spindle/shaft won’t allow it to come off. Does the bezel come off the shaft, or do I have to disassemble the rack and pinion?

    Removing steering from dash?

    Good afternoon, I’m in the midst of stripping out the inside of my 1975 Starcraft super sport. I’m replacing the floors and I am pulling the helm station out. I’m having a difficult time pulling the steering from the dash. I really don’t want to unbolt this thing to find out it’s a disaster to...

    60 & 70 hp gearcase 88 and 89 differences beside driveshaft?

    Slightly off topic, but what are the differences between the pre 81 and post 81 lower units? Those cases have a different PN.

    60 & 70 hp gearcase 88 and 89 differences beside driveshaft?

    Hey guys, I’m pretty sure 1988 was last year of the 4 spline shaft, but is that the only change? Will a 1981-1988 gearcase work with 1989 internals? Thanks in advance
