    Project Fuggly - No Longer Fuggly And Splashed!!!!!!

    Time for an update. I took vacation, got tied up with getting ready...then spent 10 days at the lake giving Miss Morgan a workout. When I got back I did some chores around the acreage, and also took some logs I have been trying to get sawn for months to the mill. I ended up with some pretty nice...

    Zool you need to get the CM out there! Wood, sounds like you need a fuel pump to me....or maybe a fuel filter is stopped up? Even Miss Morgan has had her moments, trust me! So I ended up having to go into work for a meeting today, sucks being the boss! Between that and running around looking...

    I spent way more time today studying wiring diagrams than I wanted to. I also installed all the gauges for the final time. Between about 6 wiring diagrams I think I have all of the factory wiring harness and ignition hooked up correctly. I also hooked up power, lighting and grounds to the...

    I installed the conduit chase tonight under the gunnel and pulled the wiring harness. Now its a matter of getting things hooked up on both ends.

    Hope everyone is having a great fathers day! As for the chip I am undecided on the fix but I will get back to it :-) Thank you for the nice complements! I do like the challenge of trying to just nail it, which is hard too do! I'd just love to nail it like Foose would or Boyd used too! But that...

    I have been working on the wiring, nothing to exciting to see yet, mostly planning. I did spend a good part of today laying out the dash and sorting out the clearances with the steering rack It is naturally right in the sweet spot for gauges and switches. After a lot of measuring I got...

    Ok tonight I didn't get a lot done, but sort of scoped out where the new fuse block is going and a buss bar. I did pick up the wire for the fuse block back to the battery, and the battery this morning. This weekend looks like a wiring fest! Its is starting to look like a helm! And no the...

    Well Zool the AC is in and works surprisingly well considering how undersized it is. I finished up installing it about 8:30 last night covered in sweat! It was nice to feel that cold breeze! So this morning with a bit of cussing and some fiddling around the drive went in! Filled it with oil...

    I got the block off plate for the fuel pump installed tonight. Almost looks like I knew what I was doing when I made it lol. I also installed the supprisingly pain in the butt swim ladder, but it turned out nicely. More rigging tomorrow and hopefully landing the engine on Monday...

    Kcassells, Id be happy to go over polishing up the aluminum. But you mentioned chrome, the chrome pieces were the bow light and the shift handle. I had those re-chromed by a professional. Not sure that there is another way to do that. I did buff out all of the parts for the swim ladder, which...

    Long day! The gimble assembly and the transom plate are in. I hate 4200, huge mess, but it works! And I decided that the swim ladder needed totally broken down and buffed out.....I will have 8 or 10 hours in this before it is done....but I guess it will be worth it. Here is the before and...

    Hey Micky, thanks for the thoughts. Pretty sure the ground is good but worth checking. I have had bad ground issues on other things before.....seems like they are always the "ghost issues"! I picked up two of the parts I had re-chromed today. Also got the electric fuel pump and a few odds...

    Made some progress today. I traced all the wires on the wiring harness and compared them to the diagram....checking termination location and color. I also checked continuity for all the circuits. Everything was correct except one wire that was labeled black on the diagram was actually black...

    Chevymaher, I hate to tell you but its a satin finish! I actually prefer that to the gloss most of the time, but it does look good in the pics! Finn, the guy in the video I watched mentioned that. I think the instructions said something about tapping the ram on a wood block if it didn't come...
