Human: I have a 1990 Chaparral 2050SL with a Mercruiser 4.3 and I think the Neutral safety switch is bad. I have had no luck finding a replacement switch or how to fix it. ANY and ALL advice is appreciated!!! Assistant:	I will take some pictures tonight. I did not try and jump the wires. I am not very strong in dealing with electricity, hahaha!!! I will post pictures up later tonight or tomorrow. It's really weird because sometimes it starts up right away and other times I have to mess with the handle.	I will take some pictures tonight.

Looks like the link is a bit short...but the angle of the pic isn't best to determine that. when in doubt, remove the link...then center the steering cable and then cent the engine...measure between the holes (where the link drop in) and compare that to the link...if its off by inches, time to find the correct one.

Human: My brother and I have a 1977 32' Luhrs with [cough-cough] twin Crusader 454's (model 350's). We get an absurd 1NMGP with this setup, and we are severely limited by our 140 gallon capacity.

I think you'll find you need a helluva lot more genset that 110KW...the 746 = 1 conversion is "pure" and doesn't account for any inefficiency...add to that the "surge requirement and things get real big... On the other side of the coin, it is torque that is required to spin the propeller...that is why a "smaller" hp r...

Last night I checked the compression and all the cylinders are at 120

Eric, maybe on another post I would like to hear how the oil companies killed the electric car. Doesn't make sense to me, given the historically high price of gasoline, it would seem that if current technology was a viable alternative, the market would switch to electric or hybrid cars pretty ...

Hi Michael, did the CDi unit resolve the issue ? I have been working through exactly the same issue so was very pleased to find your thread confirming my thoughts which is good news considering the price of a CDi unit with #2 cylinder not firing at all. Also agree the documentation is wrong for the resistance measu...

I had a customer once that replaced a 230HP diesel engine in a Cat 330 excavator with a 200HP electric motor. The machine had more power with the electric motor. The issue with electric motors is the inability to lug. A direct dive boat would have 1 ...	I would go with about 80% of engine power for electric motor sizing.

I can't say for certain, i just brought that up at one point and a guy said that chances are there may be a 150 lower on there because of the jet drive rating or something. Not really sure if true, otherwise ill have to look up some part numbers or something on the lower, if able, and see if i can match up if its rea...
