Pacific 22 Qs

[Paul F]

OK, off we go with a few tech questions as I believe Nev is away on Holiday.
1. Anyone code a standed Pac 22(with original consul) if so, where the blooming hell didyou hide the other bank of batteries.
2. The engine is fitted with the deadmans flap etc, but nothing on consul as not orig.eng.Have follwed solenoid wires into consul, but need to find its relay in the snakes wedding of wires any ideas where it may be hidden(wiring pic doesnt say where)
3.Where can i cut to put hatch in fwd deck as i can only feel one bearer.
Thanks in advance.
I dare say more to follow later.

oh good I do love a good saga for those long winter nights

hmm how about fitting a shelf over the top of the gearbox or infront of the exhaust hose ?

Did it have a relay or did the wires go straight to the switch, mine didn't have one so the dash switch isn't connected.

3.Where can i cut to put hatch in fwd deck as i can only feel one bearer.
Thanks in advance

assuming your deck is still the original or copy of original then the deck cross beams are on the seams. If I get down to her tomorrow I will meaure the distances from the front of the console but in the attached photo you can see the edge of the deck sits on the first cross beam under the front of the console. the outline of the console is also visible. I think the distance to the next one is 1100mm. My hatch sits about 6" in front of the original console.

the relay is in the ali box under the helm seat the one with the fuses in the cover, remove the cover and the relay should be behind.

Is that the one with the 2 fuses on the front or the one with ign key and row of pop out breakers.

Paul, distance from the cross beam under the console to the next forward one is 4 feet. However there is piece of wood about were the front of the console finishes also going across on mine, so so long as you are a couple of inches in front of the console you will be fine. Edges of the marine ply as expected sit on the cross beams.

Cheers Pete, will get cutting as soon as hatch arrives.
Hopeing to put boat in water for a spin next weekend, as at present have no way of stopping engine from outside of engine box as pull stop is not fitted,will do this week. Then after that get painting and get rid of that battleship grey.
