    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    You had to know I could not let this go, being my Dad (union electrician Local 369 IBEW) is the one which taught me. Not to say I have not misunderstood something (as a non-licensed electrician). Sure this was years ago but just the same. Here is the books I have which I also used to rewire...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    MT link shows the following pic This has power going to the light before going to the switch. The code is changing to this method. The plus side is there is no longer a switch leg need to be seen. The negative is breaker needs to be turn off (not just the switch) to do work. The box...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    Your not actually switching the neutral, your just using the neutral as something which can be easily seen as this is different. A 120VAC light bulb does not care which is hot and which is neutral. If all the person looking at the wiring is what is in the box where the switch is this is a way to...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    BELAY THAT, it might not be wrong. The two blacks could be the daisy chained hot's and the white is the switch leg to the lights. If this is the case it is wired correctly, just need the tail, tail sign of the log white for the leg. It would also be better if they used wire nuts to chain them...

    Household Electrical Wiring Question . . .

    Here is the way I take it and a change is needed on the second pic If I see one 2 pairs of wires, and none are longer then the other this would tell me one is hot and the other is daisy chained to the next receptacle or such. If I see 2 pairs of wires and one has a long white, this is a...

    volvo d41 zinc locations

    Sorry about not noticing your post. Zinc locations vary and installing one on the prop shaft (if there is room) will not hurt and can only help. Keep in mind it needs to continue to be checked. As it wears away it can create an unbalanced issue but not normally until it is gone more then 50...

    Dock sank a tad from snow

    We received 6.5 inches and the weight from the snow caused the dock to sink a tad. No biggy the dock should be fine, but did notice the rear of these EZ ports are being lifted. I have two just like these and my Seadoo is still sitting on them. Just a bit of torque being applied to the hinge...

    Formula 27PC Transom Work

    Howdy Karl and :welcome: to iboats To start an outboard motor the ground connection is removed from the magneto. To turn the motor off a ground is applied. You need to look at the black wires going to and from the key switch. One of the black wires (magneto) should go to ground (-), and the...

    Mercruiser 5.7L Closed Cooling

    IMO even the SB needs to have a thermostat bypass. This is either done by a hose coming from the top of the pump or by using a bypass hose with the thermostat housing you posted previously. The fitting on top would not need to be used with this housing unless a hot water heater was installed...
