New (used) motor for Slipaway

[gran398]

Bryan, THANKS for pointing this out to your e-bay compatriots.

The port side at rest is burning a chit-load of fuel. The starboard side at rest is burning considerably less fuel....either it's defective, or....

Is there an engine synchronizer in the box too?

We may need to revise our bids. Just think what that gauge will show when the twins are off and running

To be honest Scott 0-24 GPH is probably kind of a high gauge range or resolution for your twins.  With that high of a range you will have a harder time fine tuning things when your only going to be in the 6-8 gph per side range.  I'm not sure what the next lower flow rate gauge flow scan makes.  In a perfect world you want a gauge that has the needle right in the middle when you are in the normal operating range.

Don't worry, not a problem.
I have it all figured out.
We just run one motor higher rpm and the other low rpm. That way, the gauge will look like it is working.
In fact, think of the savings, we don't need to pay someone to wire it.
I may stay at my generous offer of $2.00. After all it is free shipping and a lifetime guarantee.

Like your thinking brother.

Ain't nothing to run one throttle pegged and the other slightly in gear.

All about the needles

As long as they sound pretty good...and are burning in synch....

We're golden

Bruce, thanks for the good input.

Wanted a flo-scan for the twins from the start. But was hard to justify,  running the ditch as we do here.

Would love to have one someday, if only for safety.

The reserve is not yet met!










Speaking of sleazebay......   seems that the difference in readings on these things while not powered seems to be normal. Check this ad out.

Lewis,
FloScan uses stepper motors in their gauges, much like modern auto gauges.  Power them on and the needles swing to full, than back to 0.  Basically a self-test to ensure the motors have full range of travel.

That is a sweet setup.  Like I said, I've only used the mounting brackets once on doing an installs.  Normally, I simply use the mounting holes in the senders themselves and mount them to the stringers.  There are probably no harnesses with the "kit", Floscan senders only have a short 3-wire pigtail off each sender, the buyer has to make his own harness...

Lew, I have a buffing wheel for acrylic/plastic that we use for watch crystals. Will make that lens look real nice.

Ship it to me (free) and I will be happy to do that as a favor to you

Scotty, you are WAY too generous!!

Thank you sir! But hey....what are friends for??

Oh, a REAL friend would have NEVER scooped outboards out from under someone.

Damn!!!!  I knew I shoulda called Lewis back yesterday.  Maybe he already shipped the gauge to Mulberry

It's on the back porch of the caboose on the phosphate train Loye...

Wish Ebeneezer had never called me about this.

It has been on my mind all day. To be promised something you've always dreamed of, then having it snatched from you.....is really hurtful.
