CONTINUOUSWAVE

Very interesting update Jim, thanks. I will connect it back up. I might see if I can get a new copper disk.

PHIL T--thank you.

My 1991 Outrage has a disk on the transom with a broken wire. The wire looks like a copper stranded wire. I tried to trace this wire's path but was unsuccessful. I see the wire going up the [rigging] tunnel towards the console, but I do not see it come out under the console. transom.jpg Q1: what is ...

Wow, thanks for that information Jim. I have not launched the boat yet but when I do I will check this out. I like the idea of moving the discharge from the bilge to the sea, not the engine splash.

Yes it is apparent to me (the third owner) that the boat has gone through some non-OEM changes. I would be interested to see the original setup. In the meantime, I'll keep discovering how the current setup works. I pulled that aerator pump which is in the lowest part of the sump. When I pulled the t...

Thanks jimh!

RE FUSE ACCESS: I popped out the fuse and it tested good. I have new switches on order, as I am pretty sure that is one problem. I'll know for sure once the new switch goes in.

Update: I lifted up the live well (I did not know you could do that, it was like finding a secret hiding spot) and sure enough, I see the electrically-operated pump and also an aerator pump for the live well. I also noticed the aerator pump is lower and there is a drain plug there that opens straigh...

Thanks for the education. The 1991 OUTRAGE 17 is not in the water yet. I'm still going through everything I can think of to ensure I have a successful first outing. ASIDE: I discovered one of the blue top Optimum batteries was at 5-Volts. With what all of you told me I need to go back out to the boa...

I am a new owner of a 1991 Outrage 17 and learning about the boat. On the dash is a switch labeled BILGE PUMP, but turning it on does nothing. I am guessing that might be because there is no water to remove. Give me advice on how to verify the pump is working. Q1: Where is the bilge [sump] pump loca...

Thanks jimh. I pulled the switch panel out and removed one of the switches. I tested the switch like you suggested and it is bad.

I will contact a local dealer.

Q1: where can a replacement electrical switch be purchased for the panel on a 1991 Outrage 17? Q2: where can an entire replacement electrical switch panel for a 1991 OUTRAGE 17 be purchased? The switch panel has two bad switches, one for a pump and one for the VHF radio The bad switches do not illum...
