    Anyone ever done this?

    Have a word with Lancing Marine. They'll be able to tell you which engines are suitable for your outdrive and you can also see which engines they can supply marinising kits for.

    What is the buzzer for on the ignition?

    Low oil pressure My boats have always had a buzzer connected in parallel with the oil warning light for low oil pressure. Hence they sound when you switch the ignition on, but go out as soon as you start the engine and the oil pressure rises.

    Tricolour Masthead Light Wiring

    [ QUOTE ] I am having to replace my Tricolour Mastead/Anchor Aqua Signal mast head light and need to be able to control navigation or anchor light on separately. There only appears to be one cable at the mast head and I am wondering how it can be controlled via one cable. It doesn't help that...

    Are all Volvos originally Perkins engines?

    No, some are Ford, GM etc. Volvo paint them green and double the price. The Perkins Prima, produced by Perkins, when marinised by Volvo was sold as the MD22, Perkins supplied the same engine unmarinised to Austin for use in the Sherpa van and Montego car.

    12v to 24v - easy to do?

    100w divide by 24 = 4.16 amps So at 12v it'll draw 8.32 amps Better to try and swap for a 12v version. Otherwise an inverter to convert to AC, transformer to increase the voltage and rectifier to get back to DC, with loses at each stage.
