Hello from already snowy Michigan. Seems the 1990 M-35 I have for power in my boat is, well, not really designed well in the wiring department. I have read stuff describing it as "dangerous" to "fatal" and worse. There appear to be two related issues: First, that the harness is not capable of the loads to and from the alternator, ammeter and starter, (plus glow plugs) and two, that the light blue 'trailer harness' connectors fail and burn. I've read several posts at different websites, and a great fix explained here: https://marinehowto.com/universal-diesel-engine-wiring-harness-upgrade/
I wonder who on our expert list has tackled this problem. I am considering fixing what I have, or purchasing a new gauge panel and all wiring. You can do that from Catalina Direct and others. Any experience or opinions from fellow Universal owners? *Chuck Saur* *Daydream C&C 37+ *
