Dad came over tonight and we got some work done on the boat. Pulled the front seats out and tossed them aside...we'll keep the stainless hardware for future use. We siphoned 10 gallons of gas from the tank and tested the fuel level sender...she works just fine! I inspected the trim motor wiring, there are 3 splices within 18" of the motor...the solenoids click but motor doesn't work. We're seeing 3.5v at the 1st splice. Hopefully this is just a solenoid/voltage issue. I'm going to relocate the 'noids to a bracket near the transom instead of being mounted under the exhaust manifold.
I aired the tires back up since we had to let most of the air out to get the boat under the garage door.
The trailer looks terrible, wiring is complete crap, but its in great shape overall. The previous owner just installed new LED tail lights which work fine, surprisingly.
Andrew helped vaccume all the carpet and get the leaves out. I vac'ed all the water out of the engine stringers since the bildge pump isn't working. Suspect wiring there too....
Speaking of wiring, I emailed Formula for info on the boat. I received a very polite reply with wiring diagrams. These should help when it comes time to rewire everything!
