"Bought this boat cheap without a starter-battery-solenoid-cables. There are other items needed as well, I will list at end of thread.
Anyhow, I was trying to put this together and see what it needs when I came across a sticker near the starter with a picture of a battery and a grounding icon near the + side of battery, not linked to it though.
Do some of these 2.3 Cobra units run positive ground? I don't want to fry anything and cause further problems.
I hooked up a standard grounded solenoid to system without fuses and tested if engine cranked, it does.
Was going to buy some fuses tomorrow, they were removed prior to my purchasing boat, and test boat to see if I had spark, but wanted to ask if anyone had seen these units running positive ground in 1989.
Anyhow onto what else I need, the boat is lacking an instrument cluster and the trim motor is seized. This boat ended up being the persons parts boat, they had another Forester, and they removed what they wanted and sold the rest cheap. Supposedly it has a new gimble bearing and u-joints, they appear new. Going to hang the lower unit back on so I can run some water through the block and see if it fires up.
Just waiting on replies to see if I am going to cook something leaving this hooked up negative ground..."
