    battery switch and cables

    For straight wiring a switch use this one. You can start on either one, or both. Never move the switch while engine is running. In both selection, your engine is charging both, in 1 or 2 it is charging either one which is selected. Also the Alternator in normal mode goes to the 90amp fuse on...

    Alternator Wiring?

    IMO the W post will not be used other then an additional ground. The 61 post would be where the purple wire goes. The other insulated post will be for the Orange wire. On the opposite side of the insulated post is where the main ground terminal would go Note: don't pay any attention to the...

    2005 Volvo Penta 5.7Gi-E Alam wiring.

    Here is a wiring diagram I found on THT and the only Yel/Blue wire goes to the Coolant Temp *CT) sensor (right side about middle). While this is not for your exact engine the color codes should be the same.

    Bass boat with rotted floors. Can I yank the livewells and increase the seating cap?

    Upgrade issues list .....low priority

    This is a nit but I'll just put it out there. When selecting the Image box, the window for uploading or linking an image is always part way off the screen. So you have to scroll up to see the window, then scroll back down to finish entering text or what ever.

    Converting roller trailer to bunks, looking for advice.

    Use to have a 1966 Signa tri-hull and it was a bit heavier then yours, but took a bit to get it straight to get it on.
