This is the number for my quadrajet 17080561. Should be a tag or number stamped in the edge of the carb.

Actually there are two brown wires. I thought one should have a purple trace but cant see it. Just need to work out which is which with my meter.

Thanks guys thats what I thought. I do have a brown wire near the shower bilge pump thats not connected. I get my meter and check it out to confirm.

I have a switch that doesnt do anything in the head, mounted into the wash basin cabinet, it says SHOWER, shower works with the Water System switch ON. Nothing in the Owners Handbook I have my ideas but want/need someone to tell me. Thanks

Sorry man, no not completed as yet I have been on some of our other islands with work. But also I am waiting for delivery of my new water heater that needs to be installs prior to installation of the genny, and its been delayed a week. Island living yeh!? Realistically i guess the genny install...

Mike I am kinda going throught this now and there are many different opinions on this. However I have found that it mainly comes down to personal requirements and what you use your boat for. I.e. Do you have a generator and how long to you spend on the hook just on batteries ? seem to be the...

Ii appears to monitor...

Sorry 390X but my charger is wired correctly - just checked my book and on-line. Each pair of "Bank" wires MUST only be connect to ONE battery. Charger is a Promariner ProSport 20 Gen2. So just gonna do the same thing withought changing the charger wiring. Except maybe tidy it up a little. I think.

Ok guys. This is what I am going to do... Reconfig and put right the battery charger connections (thanks 390x but thats how it arrived from the PO), use an isolated genny battery (thanks Monaco) and tie the genny battery to the house bank with an ON/OFF switch (normaly OFF). Which in turn...

Aye Aye Captain. Appologies to all that where inconvenienced and point noted. I thought that one was deleted. I moved my question because I wasnt getting any hits.

I guess at the moment I am cautious and take precautions (battery voltage alarm) knowing that I only have my emegency system to get me running. It ocurred to me that complaciency might set it thinking I "ALWAYS" have a genny to get me out the mire.

That sounds expensive. But whats the plan if the your isolated genny battery fails ? Stu
