    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    The engine and entire wiring harness was moved from a 1992 donor boat to my current 1997 boat en toto. No other buzzer was found. I do have the tan/blue wire under the dash already. I actually bought the "dash harness" so that I didn't have to splice into the main harness and because it's...

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    That's the plan. I already have an LED light in place and have been looking off and on for a flasher for it. I also have a self-flashing LED available as a backup, but it doesn't match the other lights. 😝 This is the setup thus far. The unlit light is for the temp overheat sensor.

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    I went out to the garage this morning while it was still cool and shorted the overheat sensor to ground, then turned on the ignition switch to see if there would be a beep from inside the controller. This is the result! :LOL: I had to turn the volume up all the way in order to hear the...

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    I'll connect the overheat tan/blue wire to a flashing light and horn/buzzer setup. If it fires off, it'll be shouting and blinking at me, letting me know to chop the throttle, etc. It would be nice to have a water pressure gauge, but it just isn't going to happen. I'll definitely be looking...

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    Yup, you're right on. The temp sensor is on the port head, connected via a tan wire. This evening I found the overheat sensor on the starboard head. I'm way past picking and installing more gauges. 🤪

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    Thanks for the great location help! I tilted the engine up and found the sensor right away. Definitely going to need a new one. At some point, a PO had cut the brown/white wire right at the sender. :sneaky: I did find a couple of sources online for a replacement. Sender wire was cut. I...

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    Interesting, but sounds very, very expensive! 😧 As an old bass fisherman, I just use my bow mounted trolling motor.

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    On my (now sold) 16' Kingfisher, I had a 45lb. thrust trolling motor. It worked just fine. But that little Starcraft hull only weighed 400 pounds not including engine, etc. All up, with the outboard, trolling motor, fuel tank and a pair of 12v batteries, it was still less than 800 pounds, not...

    So, I Googled a couple of the issues and the AI gave me step by step instructions on what to do. Ain't technology great? :LOL:

    1992 150hp XR6 gauge setup

    1992 Merc XR6 150hp I've added all new Faria engine gauges in my boat after a successful splash back in May. It takes me a (very) long time to get anything done, but I've been poking along. The gauges are all installed and wired up to power and ground. This morning I went out to connect...

    Discovery also jumped 1000 years into the future to get around some inconsistencies. I thought it was pretty lumpy though.

    My cable company (Spectrum) has been adding free apps, like Paramount+, Hulu, HBOmax, Disney+ and others to my service. Makes it pretty nice.

    I worked with several of the Apollo 11 guys. One was in navigation, another was electrical and the last guy actually designed the video link for TV from the moon.

    I was just four months old

    I was always interested in aircraft/aviation even as a very young child. I remember running with both arm outstretched, sand in my fists being released like contrails, while making jet noises. :LOL: I naturally moved up to space stuff and when Star Trek showed up in 1966, I was a huge fan...

    Nobody fishing?

    The ponds that I go to are all connected to the Florida Aquifer, a huge underground body of water. Plenty of activity there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floridan_aquifer My wife and I went back out to the first pond this evening, closer to sundown. I fished artificials and she used live...
