Your girl 18 yrs. Did you try Cecil Marine? Or any other dealers. I do not know if Chap will be able to tell you who supplied it for them when it was made. Another place to look is boat salvage yards. If it were me, I would start with the southern yards on the East Coast, where the hurricanes...

It could be the momentary switch killing the engine when you are shifting gear, which will stop the electric flow. When you work the shifter it will look the same with the engine running or when it is off. Looking at the shifter, think of a tube with the ball bearing sticking out of the right...

Along with the rpms, I use my gps also, which will give me my speed.

That looks normal. Are you saying that when you shift into N it does not lock into place?

Sorry that is new to me. Sounds like new and improved, til it brakes. I use my engines rpms.

I think that we have the same shifter. On the front of the cover there is a small black button, if you push it in it will let you lift the cover off. Inside on the top is a ball bearing with a spring loaded tension set screw to adjust the tension on the ball bearing.There is a plate that is...

Does your speedometer work with a water pick-up mounted on the transom?

Dan, it sounds like you need to take off the cover on the shifter and tighten the 4 screws that hold it down, it should not slide around.

I am presently going through the same issue with my 1985. All cables are perfect, there is what is called a momentary switch, that when you shift from N to F to R and so on, it kills the engine for a split second to release the pressure. That was my issue. Start there. How does it shift if the...

If you can't find a diagram, you may have to physically trace each wire, see where it goes and label it.

If you go to a chap dealer and their parts dept they should have a mechanics diagram of it. I do that with Mercruise all the time. Your owners manual will not have that kind of stuff in in it.

Extra caution today out on the water, do not overload, safety first.

Call Chap, or check with a Chap dealer parts dept, they may be able to help.

Yes, you could be loosing ignition power somewhere. As you said,I would try a new switch. I love shakedown cruises, you will always find something broke somewhere. 33 years and counting. This year, interrupter switch for the shifter went bad.:) I always go alone, because I have know idea what...

My trailer is an EZ Loader. When I redid mine, I shopped quality, so I contacted EZ Loader, and bought original equipment. The outside measurements seem to be pretty standard 3" x 5". The mounting hole, comes in different diameters. Depending how long you are going to keep and how often you...

I love rollers, you get her lined up in that 1st set of rollers (even if she is sideways) and she will walk right up.

Welcome aboard

Doc has it right, that will be a good starting point. That is how I do mine. My fender tips are about even or about 1/2 in. under the water. Do you have bunks or rollers?
