It won't hurt. With the Wolverine heaters, you don't need the air intake heaters, I agree, plus the engines will stay nice and dry all the time. I have a pair of Wolverine heaters on my home diesel genset also- one on the oil pan, one on the fuel tank. Nice and toasty. And on my boat engines.

Re: 1969 Chris Craft Roamer 46 refit
I had to remove the solenoid mounting plate bolts when installing the engines because otherwise I would have had to cut out a big section of my stringer for clearance. So I was already looking at modifying the mounting plate or relocating the solenoids. I was planning on converting it to manual, but seeing that cooked solenoid changed my mind. Putting lots of work into a marginally necessary system that has parts that die within 400 hours...I'm not seeing the bang for the buck.

Can I get an oooooh to go with that aaaaaaah?
The port engine is installed! It's amazing how smoothly things go the second time around, when you've got all of the tools and supplies, you know what modifications to expect, and you've got the right parts to replace the wrong parts that certain manufacturers send out with very expensive upgrade kits. booya

And Bob's your uncle. I am pulling the shafts out of my boat this winter and sending them off to be trued, and I think putting in new cutlass bearings. I'll be calling to hire you to line everything up when we put it all back together and get her in the water.......

Re: 1969 Chris Craft Roamer 46 refit
Hire? No way! But you're welcome to my tools and armchair expertise!
That said...Motion Windows, the guys who built my bow seat and helm windshields, responded to my complaint that they once again made 2/3 of the frames too big. Their response alternated between being snarky, insulting, unprofessional, and demonstrably untrue. What's really unfortunate is that their product concept is outstanding--it really is the best vehicle window design on the market. But execution is important. They can have the best design, outstanding welds, and super powder coating, but when they make 70% of the windows on both of my orders too big, it goes from outstanding to epic fail. This is extremely frustrating.
