I hope that works…..

1972 BassCat

[DLB68]

The first models built by BassCat up to … I think 1975 where called the DLX ,

[DLB68]

Now … Thats Class …. The 2 that I have are in spectacular condition and are in need of minimum work .. The 1973 I have only needs the carbs cleaned on the engine .. I have Literally Jumped and Stomped trying to find a week spot in the floor … There are none to be found …

The 1972 model has a sort spot mid floor. But all in due time .. The day will come when it is like new. The lights mid ship on the outside of the rail section raise a small concern. I doubt they are available today .. Rome wasn’t built in a day. And I was Blessed with Patience..

I would love to be able to have Both of mine at the event … Just to allow people to see the quality …. Even after 48 & 49 years .

1. I am looking to find pictures and info on the seats for the 72 & 73 models .. The few pictures that I have found on the web usually have people sitting in the boats , so not a lot of help there .
2. Basscatt .. Would be cool to see Pictures of Yours …

Totally Cool Pictures …  The word. “Carpet”…..  Is scary lol… But I have until September to have mine completed .. I am looking to find a light that can be used in the side of the rail on the 72 model. I am not fond of the idea of glassing the hole closed . Lots to do….  Trying to find upholstery that looks good with the August Gold gelcoat is tricky… I’m not fond of the blah white seats… Fortunately There are no extreme repairs to be made.. Just a lot of small ones… Thanks for sharing the pictures.

If spring ever gets here . I plan on replacing the carpeting, wiring , lights and seats in both of my cats . Planning to upgrade one to an 85hp Merc . The 65hp Merc on it will be handed down to another project..

You All have some nice Cats , no Doubts .. But … I Love My Vintage Classics…

Roostertail1964 .

The brown wire = the running / marker lights. … Both side of trailer.

Yellow wire = Brake & Left turn Signal

Green wire = Brake & Right Turn Signal

Blue Wire = Surge Brake Release Solenoid. This allows the trailer to move backwards without actuating the surge brakes.

White Wire = Ground.

If you turn on the right turn Signal and the running / marker lights blink.

The fault is a short between the Green and Brown wire on the right side of the trailer or at the swing Away connection.

If you turn on the left turn Signal and the running / marker lights blink .

The fault is a short between the Yellow and Brown wire on the Left side of the trailer or at the swing Away connection

I’m betting your ground wires are fine.

 

In the event that a tail light pigtail has been replaced .  Please ensure that the wires on the lights pigtail connection are hooked up correctly.

Red wire on pigtail =  Green Or Yellow Trailer Wire

Black wire on pigtail = Brown Trailer Wire

White is the Ground Wire.

 

Happy Dream Hauling !
