Good morning All, have a basically all original 1996 18 CC with the original 115 Yamaha. It seems to have developed a "lack of charging volts" issue. I monitor the running volts off a Simrad and when idling it shows anywhere from 11.4-11.6 V, slightly higher when underway, but still very low and...

Ended up putting in a new Moeller swing arm style (same exact as the defective one that came out) Local guy had in stock for about $40. I wanted the Reed style, but they did not have one for an 8" depth tank and I already had it apart. Super easy install and works perfect. Good enough for now...

Thx again, still a bit confused (that's easy, lol) on how to wire up the average Reed v. what's there now. The Reed appears to have 2 wires coming out of the little module on top of it, obviously have 3 wires going to the sender now (gauge and 2 grnds) looks like some splicing would have to be...

Thx again, can I convert to a Reed style with the existing wiring set up or will I have to cut/modify the present harness.? Most of the Reed setups I'm seeing appear to have a completely different wiring set up.? Thx again for the help

Thank you very much for that reply, clears up a lot!. I have seen senders out there that have the 1 tang on it and that is probably what I will get, then double up the ground spade fitting if needed (as suggested). Will post the process as we go. Thx again for the clarity.

New to the Parker world, new to boats in general actually.. Have a 96 18 CC and the fuel sending unit appears to be shot. Don't see much difficulty in replacing it, but the one in mine has the center bolt mount wire and 2 separate wires going to 2 separate tangs on the sendjng unit itself. I...

Have a 97 1800 CC that I believe needs new rubber fuel lines from tank to engine. Orig rubber feels soft/mushy/chalky and that's only on the exterior sections I can get to, new primer bulb wont fill either.. I'm sure there are existing threads with the whole process start to finish and...

Thx Folks, had an idea it may be dirty carbs, plugged jets (I get this a lot on my 396 Big Block Nova with original Holley carb, idle circuit gets gummed) with jets, can they be accessed/serviced with the carbs still on the engien or do the carbs have to be removed. Figured if that is an...

Update, put in a new fuel pump, now starts, idles fine. took it out into the bay and ran it up to about 3k. It ran up to 3k fine, but kinda flattened out at that point, would not get on plane and was kinda sluggish/plowing. Was thinking of changing the plugs (do these motors go through a lot of...

Have a 97 1800 with original, same yr 115 Yammy, was running fine, but now when started, will not stay running. Made sure gas was fresh and plentiful, even plugged in a spare aux tank, still the same. I'm good with car engines, but a bit clueless on marine OBs. Thinking fuel pump perhaps.? Any...
