Thread: Updating and Upgrading My Skeeter F-80 Strada

Now that the controls and Hot Foot have the new control cables installed moving to the Stern and finishing the job on the Etec itself is next.



It starts with the engine harness, unlike Yamaha OMC Etec engine harnesses have multiple plugs and on this engine connect with a cover on top of the engine. Another cover tops this connection area and was added once all the connections were made and the water pressure hose connected to the block.



Etec's control cables land under the lower cowling so the lower cowlings are stripped off for access. The Battery cable, Control Cables, Ambilocal Cable, Water Pressure Hose, and Fuel Hose all run thru a grommet within the lower cowling.



All hooked up now ready for the Engine Covers.



All that plastic once reinstalled makes a huge difference in appearance. The new fuel line is primed, I do that before connecting to the engine or the Primer Bulb will not prime itself.



Cockpit is complete. Now all that is left is mounting the Bow Electronics.
