New to Donzi but not to Boating (Classic 22)

[Ghost]

I loved my dual-lever single-action, but just swapped it out anyway. I'll pile on to George's comment with the safety side of the single-lever dual-action argument. With two sticks, the time you grab the wrong one will be when you are most distracted. And even if you never make a mistake, the twin-lever style is daunting for many guest-drivers. FWIW

...
finished installing 33 c cables on Hardin Control .....it's almost to smooth


[/IMG][/URL]

I ordered one in red. When I ordered the cables, there was only one option 3300C. Is this the same as the 33C?
And I did not have a color option on the cable ends.
Maybe I should give them a call.

Yes the 3300C and 33C are the same

you can also run gen II cables with this control by just removing the threaded female brass ends that come on the controller and hooking your gen II cables up

if you do the 3300c cables you will need the adapters for the engine side

I do. It think that there is a color option on cables the Hardin 3300c cables are red

I really like my dual controls (A LOT) but I'll admit it makes me nervous to let the wife take the boat or other "guest drivers" knowing they might make a mi$take.

BTW: Very nice 22!

Thank you

i guess we will see how it goes

I talked to CP and there are no color options for the cable ends.

They have already shipped my order. Great service and they are very friendly to talk with.

"Guest drivers"??? Definitely a rare exception.

I didnt think so on the colors

did you pick Gen 2 cables or did you go 3300C ?

Congrats on on the new controller

[txtaz]

I went with the 3300C/33C Maxflex. There is a choice on color for the cables...Red or black.

I had to call around the world to get a 12' but found one direct from Hardin. CP had the 13'.

I'm getting anxious for spring already.

[JParanee]

You are going to be amazed at how smooth they are

[JParanee]

Well a bunch of parts came in and We are starting up again

Mark did all the trailer bearings &

Changed out the out drive trim pump bracket with a nice stainless piece from Hardin



Next is new gear drive resevoir

finish up switches

closed cooling system and drive shower

[JParanee]

Got the lower unit gear oil unit installed and everything pumped back up

really nice tank







Also got the new after pump mounted up while we wait on the cooling system





also got the new fuel line pulled

[JParanee]

The kit from Monitor arrived and I'm very impressed with Georges recommendation



A lot of copper



We are emulating to a certain extent George's bracket work using 4 X 4 X .375 structural aluminum angle and a 2 X 2 X .25 aluminum T-Bar as a cross brace


Hull numbers in Donzi script came in also



had to pull the boat out of garage to get snow plow hooked up

very pleased with how everything is shaping up

The boat is looking awesome JP.
I received my Hardin side shifter (in red). One note: did you check the neutral starter interlock switch? The one on the gear shift which prevents starting in gear. Mine seems to have a very narrow range where it is engaged. I'd rather not wiggle the level to get it to start.
But, the thing is built with amazing precision and when it is installed may be right on the money.
Have you tested yours?

Also, anyone know what the button switch is for about the kill switch?

Thx Taz

I have not run the motor yet to final adjust linkage etc so no I have not tested it yet

as soon as I get the closed cooling setup done we will run it and dial things in

the button above the kill is your up tilt for bringing the drive all the way up

[txtaz]

Cool. Let me know what you find.
I guess that switch is for separate trim and tilt rams. Cool.
