I need owner manual for 1994 Cajun bass boat

It doesn't appear to exist. New boats tend not to have manuals for the boat, but you get a manual for the engine, one for the steering, one for the live well, etc. This is the closest I can find. http://boatspecs.iboats.com/Cajun_by_Mastercrafters_Corp.__160_Pro__1994/bp/66b12865 https://www.google.com/search?q=1994+Cajun+bass+boat+manual ..

AOSmith 1hp lift motor starts then trips breaker , any ideas?, thants

There are a few possible reasons why your AOSmith 1hp lift motor starts and then trips the breaker:
  1. Overload: The motor may be overloaded and drawing too much current. Check the load on the motor and make sure it is within the motor's capacity.
  2. Short Circuit: A short circuit could be causing the motor to draw too much current and trip the breaker. Check the wiring for any signs of damage or wear.
  3. Faulty Motor: The motor itself could be faulty and causing the overload or short circuit. Check the motor windings for any signs of damage or wear.
  4. Tripped Thermal Overload: The motor may have a thermal overload switch that shuts off the motor if it gets too hot. Check the motor for any signs of overheating and reset the thermal overload switch if necessary.
  5. Faulty Breaker: The breaker itself could be faulty and tripping prematurely. Check the breaker for any signs of wear or damage.
It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician or motor technician to diagnose and fix the issue, as working with electricity can be dangerous if not done properly.

I have a Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger. When I plug it in to my electrical outlet only bank 1 shows a solid yellow light. I am not getting power to bank 2 and 3.

A solid yellow light on Bank 1 of your Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger indicates that the charger is in "float" mode, which means it is maintaining the battery's charge at a safe level. It sounds like there may be an issue with the connections or wiring for Banks 2 and 3, preventing them from receiving power. Here are a few things you can try:
  • Check the connections between the charger and the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 to ensure they are tight and secure.
  • Ensure that the circuit breaker for the charger is not tripped.
  • Check the wiring for Banks 2 and 3 for any visible damage or corrosion.
  • Ensure that the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 are not in a low state of charge or are not faulty.
  • Try to reset the charger by unplugging it from the power source and plug it back in after a few minutes.

What should I look for in a structural engineer in Hull?

If you need to hire a structural engineering specialist, you first and foremost want someone with genuine experience. You should keep an eye out for companies that have a long-standing history within the region. For example, companies like GGP Consult offer access to the kind of structural engineer Hull developers should be looking for. Primarily, you should be focusing on finding someone who has designed something similar to what you are looking for. Look through their portfolio and ensure they have something in their professional history that matches up with what you will be building. While most structural engineers can be quite versatile, it pays to know that your selected expert has built something that matches your ideas beforehand. Focus on these areas when hiring a Hull structural engineer.
