"Stator cooling hoses? Let me
"Stator cooling hoses? Let me understand, the stator is under the flywheel, is it not? And to my knowledge there are no cooling hoses to that. There was a block-mounted voltage regulator that is water cooled. When I converted to the belt-driven alt, I just taped the two yellow wires from the original stator (alternator) separately and went on my merry way. I eliminated the V-reg($400 part!) and in its place installed a copper tee to which a small tube is attached, leading to a under-dash pressure switch (from a washing machine) connected to a light and horn which warns of low water pressure. When I turn on the ignition switch, the low water horn and light blare our - when the motor starts and water pressure exists they go out. If the dang impeller gives out underway (again) I will know it instantly (this time!). Burned my exhaust bellows, trim wires, etc and scared my wife out of ever boating again. In one of the photos you can see the pressure switch (used $5) lying on the deck before I installed it.
Yes, that's an electric fuel pump off, Bendix, I think. I thought the manual pump was getting weak so I just added the electric in case it goes out far from home. I could not keep a fuel check valve working so I also put a rubber squeeze bulb in the line. A 1979 machine is a constant challenge. Cheers, JW in Dixie"
