It is a good idea to have a start switch mounted near the engine for starting during service. It can be wired directly from the plus to the solenoid. Then in an urgent situation you can run down and start if the normal start doesn't work. Don Newman C&C 44 Hamilton ON > __

And, a dirty prop I was picking up a donated boat for our museum a couple of years ago. It was dirty, but I figured it would make it - at black smoke rpm's, it was going about a knot. Hauled it and the prop was just a round ball of goop. Clean it up and then test it. Gary - Original M
