It begins! Here are the Before pictures. I just hope it comes together on the cheap. I'm actually looking at a 395v this Sunday and may restore both rigs.
As you can see, my work is cut out for me. I've located a Lower Unit and am taking a road trip Saturday to pick it up. It comes with a prop, same hp and year motor as well. I have hooked a good battery up to it and cannot get the tilt to work. Have a request in to Ranger for a wiring diagram/Schematic to rewire entire boat if needed. The Tilt switch is missing from the front panel and am wondering if that could be the cause by not being able to complete the circuit.
I've also been studying up on Gel Coat repairs and will be doing that first after removing the carpet. Another request to Ranger for cost of original seats has been sent. The cracked windshield will be $100 to replace.
Oh man, what have I got myself into???
