Winter 2018-19 projects
For those of us north of the Carolinas it is that time of the year when the next gas fill-up is probably the last until 2019 and the remaining cruises few in number.
So.....what have you for this winter? I keep failing at my vow to just turn the heat on until spring and not take things apart and then more things and then more things Possibles: 1. Put in a new impeller. The old one is many years old. I did a scavenger hunt and found 5 new ones all over the boat hidden in corners () I don't recall buying, but they are all ancient in their boxes. Might have to buy one. 2. Maybe do electronic ignition. Now I can get an EI with adaptive dwell I want to see how this does. Counterargument is the scavenger hunt also turned up 3 sets points and condensers and a distributor cap new in boxes. 3. Set up a valve and line for fuel return. 4. Maybe revisit my FWC ideas. 5. Maybe add an electric choke. I do not like the cable choke. 6. New engine start battery. The start battery will no longer do a cold-iron start. That battery is over a decade old, so no complaints really. 7. Teak clean up and oil/varnish. 8. Finally get around to getting my amazing cool looking white painted super custom better than any other type Balmar alternator fixed that died. Glad I paid about $60 for it vs. a few hundred it listed for new |
