So now I have 12v of power coming from the main battery cable to the starter only when the key is turned to the IGN (or SOL I dont remember now) position.

Lastly I have the "power" OUT terminal which I hooked up my main starter power (10g wire), and the starter solenoid power (14 or 16g wire).

Then grounded the "trigger" OUT to the engine block to complete that circuit and tested to make sure the relay worked.

Then hooked up the small wire from the NSS (which is on my IGN circuit from the key) to the "trigger" IN on the relay since this is where the voltage would come from the key being turned.

I attached the battery cable to the "power" IN of the relay (yes I know there isnt truly an IN or OUT) and then also hooked up the cable that supplies the rest of the boat with power.

So what I was doing when I jumpered from the "A" to "B" was giving the same voltage, but allowing for the starter to pull a higher current since the cable from the battery is HUGE and has plenty enough to allow the current to pass through.īut that is why there is a slave relay close to the starter! Duh. But when I hooked up the wire, the voltage dropped down to 4.5v since the wire through the ignition circuit couldnt carry enough current. So, I believe my issue was that the gauge wire that was in the starter solenoid circuit was too small.I came to this conclusion after my testing yesterday where I was able to get 12v at the starter solenoid without the wire hooked up. That's 6 hard turns at over 30mph! It was a ride for sure! Then, he proceeded to drive the slalom course in the boat, not down the center like usual, he went around the pylons that the skier would pass. The two of us were sitting in the backwards facing observer seat, he told us to use both hands to hold on tight to the ski pylon. So, he took me and my roommate for a thrill ride, and this is what we did.

The head driver was very skilled in maneuvering his mastercraft. But there is many fun ways to be out on the water.and that includes the inter-coastal.īack when I was in college, we were at the lake for the long 4th of July weekend, and my cousin had taken us to the site of his slalom ski club.

What's good for cruising, isn't as good for skiing, etc. With boats, there's no one-boat-does-it-all well kind of vessel. But running up a long smooth cove, it's like driving a German or Italian sports car. My boat, also a Ski Centurion, is horrible in rough water. I'm sure Austin doesn't mind a little rambling and reminiscing here in his rebuild thread. PS sorry for the ramble going a little stir crazy mid way week 4 of quarantine. BTW if I were closer would be happy to help with the engine issues. In the mean time I will live vicariously through you younger guys so I hope to see some post of you tearing it up. If we ever get out of this craziness I look foreword to some skiing this summer. I gave up snow skiing years ago because of a old ski injury to my left knee but still love to get out my buddy boat to do some old school slalom skiing. Still there is something about a small boat with V8 inboard power (Muscle Boat) that is just bad to the bone. Although my area is a mecca of boating, the bay is big and wide where we are with no shelter and lots of boat traffic this is no place for and old school ski boat. I am now in a 250 Sundancer and there have been days we get beaten up headed home from our hangout spots. I quickly realized why I hardly ever see ski boats, after one season with an 18 ft and we were looking to go bigger, even the 21 ft was tough some days.

Living near the New Jersey shore (yes near where the TV show took place) and Barnegat Bay which is part of the Inter-Coastal water way that runs from NJ to Fl almost all inland, boats are plentiful so we buy an 18 ft bow rider.

In my younger days (mid 50s now) I thought about trying to buy a ski boat, besides my friends Ski Nautique, I has also done some skiing on the Delaware River behind a Master Craft with a bunch of barefooters, my thought were these boats were IT!! Fast forward 20 years a house, cars, kids divorce, 2nd marriage its finally time to go boating again.
