I've been reviewing this issue for my old OMC 28 HP. The red starter lead must come from a solenoid (I don't see it) and the starter ground wire (for your starter) needs to be it's own separate line (unlike a car, no chassis ground). Your control (starter and ignition kill switch and maybe...

Thank you all. It looks like 4 Gauge should meet the needs. At this point its unclear if I'll use jumper cable or welding cable (defiantly stranded pure copper). I do like that jumper cable is typically sold as a pair. I was in the welding supply business more than a decade ago so I'll check my...

6 Gauge is good for 200 amp draw and 4 Gauge is good for 300 - 500 amps. The question is the starter motor for my 28 HP Evinrude Speeditwin (2 cylinder). If an OMC V6 is 230/180 amps, 4 Gauge for the 300 -500 to be safe would make sense but, I'm not sure if 4 Gauge is required to spin 1\3 the...

Thanks for the response. I understood anything that is in any kind of vehicle should be stranded wire. I also understand that solid "stranded" wire will have more capacity than copper cladded aluminum wire. I am planning on using the OMC Red Plug for my control wires. My question is about...

Does anyone know the proper gauge for pure copper (not copper clad Aluminum) for my Evinrude 28 HP Speed i Twin starter to battery cable? I suspect it would be the same (starter, draw, cable gauge) for a 25, 28, 30, 35 or 40HP OMC twin cylinder outboard. thanks in advance, Chris

Cost and what it's worth to you is always a personal choice. I'm replacing my ¾ transom boards on my 14' Meyers Laker (14-C). The plywood choice was hard especially because I need 52"pieces. Marine ply was only available in full sheet $148- that made the Okoume and Merranti look reasonable...

Your Meyers is definitely a bigger boat than mine. Mine is rated for 25hp and 1000lb capacity. I have the same transom corner castings but mine is riveted to the side AND transom. With the floor angle brackets those top corner castings will most likely need to come off. I believe yours is rated...

I have 1967 Meyers 14-C (67/15) that I'm replacing the transom also. Mine was ¾ on the inside and ¾ on the outside. Ten+ years ago I replaced the ply with plastic (not a success) now I'm doing it again. I believe it was the Laker Super Pro of the time. Mine has the bow to stern seating with...
