trouble

Before I call Balmar in the morning, I wanted to run this by the experts on the board. I’m installing the Leece-Neville 89 amp alternator and a Balmar ARS-5 regulator. At the same time, I am separating the house and start circuits and installed a Blue Seas ACR. I go to turn the...

http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=3404&highlight=facet Rather than patching on some more fixit information to this prior electric fuel pump thread, I will just reference it first. I just changed fuel pumps (again) and now have a new Facet (aka Universal) electric pump...

What am I doing wrong? Many of the pages on the site that I click on give me gobbldy gook intended as place saver. For instance, under Resources, Specification Archives. And yet, somehow via a Google search I was able to get to the manual for my Ericson 34 on the site. David Westcott
