I had never looked before yesterday but was able to quickly find electronic gage senders. You wouldn't need to plumb a gage all the way to the gage board, just wires. Also remember that the Teflon tape or pipe dope isn't to make a seal it is to lubricate the threads so that they can screw

Before going into the pedestal, try disconnecting the cables at the engine, and move the levers by hand. I once had a pinhole leak that caused some corrosion at the levers, which caused the problem you are experiencing. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Thu, Nov 10,

David, I’m not a huge fan of spraying lubricant down inside the cable sheathing as it tends to only mask the problem rather than solve it. Teleflex engine control cables are somewhat different than the control cables on bicycles and motorcycles in that they use a stiff solid steel rod as the

Michel, The engine control cables are likely to blame, although the white delrin shift and throttle lever bushings on the Edson engine controls can, over time, swell up and make the levers difficult to move. First remove your compass. Then stick a rag down inside the pedestal to catch any

Hi Ron, Interesting thought about the Teflon tape. My guess is that the tape would get damaged enough during installation to allow a good ground connection. Of course, you can check it with an ohm meter after installation to be sure. Gary S/V Kaylarah ~~~_/)~~ On Thu, Nov 10,
