I am contemplating an outboard upgrade on my SR19. Currently have a F115 on it with 2 digital gauges. Wondering what the gauge(s) looks like for a Suzi 140 and where people using this motor have mounted it on an Arima?

Any thoughts on the MRBF fuse sizing?

Also, I'm realizing now that I have a few of the part numbers in the diagram wrong. The Safety Hub should be 7748 and the MRBF fuse blocks should be 2151.

Yachter, I was referring to the round hole above the transom drain underneath the factory fuel tank, or for me where the main tank was. Thought of enlarging it to get better access to the transom drain area. Make it easier to clean out the drain area of leaves and whatever I wash out of the fish well.Thanks for your thoughts.

   Long, well-placed and padded side bunks are the answer if you ever load on unprotected ramps, with side winds, wakes or tide/river current.  I had to replace the carpet on mine last year - it was wearing down to bare wood at the back corners. While I had the bunks off and carpet removed, I routered a small radius on all the wood to get rid of the sharp edges.
  I/O poly carpet from Home Depot seems to be exactly like the cut and packaged stuff from marine stores, and a yard of it off the roll will replace my 4' bunk coverings 2 or 3 times.  SS staples (like Arrow 1/2" #508SS1) are worth the extra $ and will outlast the carpet.

  The photographer was there as well, but wishes to remain anonymous.  There is obviously some danger involved in being associated with this crew... :facepalm:

 ( Not to admit that I was in any way involved with this, but many thanks to Rifleman for hosting, and  Greg E for hauling equipment.   It was great to meet in person and swap stories with people you've only met online.)

Quote from: Fisherdv on Yesterday at 07:47:08 PMYour motor most likely has a rev limiter so no worries there.
