Re: Outboard question but not antique

Thanks very much for the input, Don. I don’t believe that I ever had an open to the packs while the engine was running. What I had done was to take some old Ampenol connectors from old harnesses and packs and splice two together, so that I could connect a meter in the middle and plug the ends into the pack and harness. This acted as a circuit-specific break out "box," only there was no box. I dunno…my neighbor, who is a pretty smart guy, was watching the whole thing, as I was explaining what I was doing; and he also agrees I had both meters on the right range, or so it seemed to him.

Thanks for the offer of the pack…I sent him off on an internet hunt for one, yesterday. He is good at finding deals out there! He may have one coming already. We’ll see how he makes out!

Thanks again, everyone, for the thoughts. I’m chaucking it up to mercury in retrograde, I guess….

Long live American manufacturing!
