Just in case anyone is confused, I copied and pasted part of the original post from the other site rather than type the whole thing again

Have had the 3rd new alt tested and it's good

When power is removed from the red wire terminal (under test) it starts upping the voltage to 15.4, fine when connected

So sounds like you were on the button with your diagnosis suzook

That red wire going to the reg/rec, does it com from the back of the ignition switch ?

All the alternators came with 2 flying leads, red and purple, which connect to the wiring harness via bullet connectors

The fault/break will be between the connector and the ignition switch?

Hi, we were getting the same reading of 15v on both, or do you mean just testing the alt cable when not connected to battery
These pics are one of the new ones and the original
The alternator feed to the batteries went through a heat sink first, then on to the split charge unit
It made no difference when the heat sink and charge unit were bypassed, nor when a direct earth was run from the block to the battery

Great looking boat, there is one the same opposite my berth. It makes my boat look tiny. 
You have loads of deck space and a bog. 

I've only used the bog twice in anger, both times with my legs out the door

Was debating between the 230 or 250 when looking to change and went for the w/c option as Mrs swamp had plans to spend some time aboard and wouldn't want to squat over a bucket

She hasn't even seen the boat, never mind shat in it

Just watching the general weather on BBC 

Fk me, Carol's top heavy mind

I think he's actually the oracle and plays his superiority down while on here with the utmost of modesty

Got the posting bit sorted, just have to reduce every photo before I post it

Agree, doubt gets planted in your mind, so you go for the dearest because you think it's the best and it quite often isn't

It's a 230 horse black mercruiser, is this oil specifically designed for high load engines (boat) as opposed to plant engines which basically runs hydraulic pumps ?

Would like to see the specs of the different brands, not the cheap motor factor stuff, the well known brands

Bit of a follow on from fishys thread and been asked countless times no doubt

But, is the Quicksilver 15w 40 "heavy duty marine" oil any better than a high quality 15w 40 that's used in plant that can cost hundreds of thousands of quids

A mate is a plant fitter and can rescue some for me (supposedly top quality)

Is it really worth the £8 per litre for the Quicksilver or have we all been brainwashed

Easy that, only took me half the bastud night

After 

I've just saved this forum straight to my phones homepage, so no more typing into Google to access it 

Clever fucker I am 

Its a church on the side of Cardiff Bay and its Norwegian 

Was going to upload some pictures after she was cleaned and all the timber work done, but the pics are too big again

Anyway, with a clean bottom and a refurbed prop, she did 24.8 knts in Cardiff bay with 2 on board and full tanks, may have squeezed 25 if we didn't have to stop to avoid the norwegian church

A 2004 Arvor 250 pictured when I bought her about 14 months ago, before I did any cleaning/upgrades etc

Struggled to get 21 knots flat out

Do you buy and sell, or is that a keeper

No? yeah

The "after" pics are on my phone, the "before" are on my laptop

I'll go all techno in a bit and post them on the boat pics thread

May have to have a bit of advice of the grumpy scaffolder though

That's a result and back on  the water for the weekend ?

Did it work

Seems a better site layout

I'm gunna try and post a pic off my laptop
