Hi qb12,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't turn these posts in my search, but I'm probably using the wrong keywords. I turned up most posts under 'fuse' and 'dash' - is there a better search term?

Dash, All Gauges, Suddenly Dead!
I have a 2000 Kanga/Outback model. This week, my dash just died -- every single gauge. My switches still work (Bilge, Lights, etc), and the engine runs fine; however, none of the gauges move.

I had come up with a similar conclusion as FlaMoomba; consider that because your boat does not sit evenly, the lift will already have to be at least a couple inches further down than if you were...

Hi all,
On my 2000 Moomba I have the Vortec 350 with the stock Holley Carb (4150 style), Holley P/N 75021-1. I had a minor leak from the accelerator pump and thought it would be a good idea to get... -
