Don,
The heater that I am referring to goes into the pool of water (submersed) so the worst that you are going to end up with is warm water.

Re: Inside storage in Michigan
I tried a new tact last winter that worked out really well since we had some very cold dry spells. I am outside in an unheated portable garage with a recycled asphalt floor. I built a trough out of 2 x 6 lumber and plastic sheeting and filled it with water and put it under the boat. I went to Tracto...

Also you can purchase an accelerant spray for the super glue that will dry it almost instantly and help prevent running.

If you don't stop and re-start a lot and your bilge pump doesn't run too long you should be okay.

I have only installed my KL and it has 4 identical wedges.
I was hoping someone with your engine type would comment on the pieces and where they go.

Re: Engine Mounts Ski Utility (another attempt)
The motor mounts don't get their final position until the engine is in the boat and you check the alignment between the shaft and transmission couplings.
You make your final angle ajustments by moving the mounts back and forth.
You may even have to shim one or more mounts if you are way off.

Re: interlux 2000e epoxy primer
There is way more information needed about your process to form an opinion.
Did you use CPES ? If so how and when did you apply it ? What were the humidity conditions then versus when you applied the barrier coat primer ?
Without information some people get FRUSTRATED .

Re: Shunt for 283 1959 Continental
The use of a shunt is dependent upon the type of gauge that you have for current (ammeter). If it is a true ammeter and measures current directly then you do not need a shunt and you have to limit your wiring through it to lower current devices (lights and accessories - not a horn it will just peg t...

Re: Converting Ampmeter to Voltmeter
Your ground should be fine.
Measure the voltage on your hot side of the ignition switch and if it matches the battery then jumper that to the voltmeter. If that reads 8 volts then you have a problem.

If you are lucky you may find one that matches your current battery stock.

I have not tried this but Don Danenberg has and it was not positive. I would think it would be nearly impossible to keep what is left in the pail from hardening.

Re: 5200 Bottom & CPES clarification
5200 adheres just fine to CPES covered wood.
Don't forget that the "Bed of 5200" actually gets applied to both the inner planking exterior and outer planking interior before they get sandwiched together.

Just a thin application of 5200 in between topside and transom planks but no gaps above the waterline.
