I fired up my Navionics+ card in my a series Raymarine, and there is a banner across the top of the screen that says "Not for Navigation". Is this standard lawyer injected CYA, or does it really mean don't run your autopilot from this chartplotter? Maybe they want to scare me into a Garmin MFD...

Windy weekend until Sunday. Didn't get out to try to run them up. I have 2 small issues to deal with. I think the Starboard battery bank is done, so disconnecting all and load testing them. The port (newly built) engine is bleeding oil from somewhere when under pressure, even though the gauge...

Excellent explanation, thanks. The FPR was out of play as discovered yesterday after getting back to the dock. Could have been off when I was setting IAC value at idle, and or timing as well. The hose popped off the nipple on the FPR but didn't move, so I did not notice it until visual...

yup Trying again probably Friday. That's the port engine. Stbd still running out of throttle at 2000, so I've still got something going on there. I was surprised the advance was in the 30s at half throttle. Gonna grab a non Chinese timing light to see if this one's just crap.

meh....... I will clean my bilge when I get done. Look at the timing advance at less than half throttle! I thought they were set, but time to check again. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cp60jejvvxzkcw7r2ye9w/4-8-sea-trial.zip?rlkey=g8stowsurx7bbe2ywfdgdtfwr&dl=0

old school, short runs around Florida. Don't need no stinking features........:cool:

I just ordered the physical card and got the discount. 100 bucks for the card, and subscription. (US South) At that, it's still double what it is on a personal device. With Axiom, you can stream the iphone/andriod screen to the plotter, but at a series, it won't work. I am looking into...

I had few wrinkles and brown hair when this started........

for your viewing pleasure. I suggest that you download the 225 MB zip file into its own folder, unzip and then use folder tools to play all videos in the folder. They are numbered in order. gotta go replace steering ram end seals on the cat. Maybe tomorrow am...

Agree, except, if you grab the cam for the secondary and move it, you will also move the primary. If you move the primary cam, the secondary cam doesn't move until "half" throttle, as it should. I am seeing a bit of play in the linkage, so I believe there is some adjustment for the secondary...

Tactic for this am. Plug the throttle body in to the harness by itself. Set the primary idle screw to get the correct TPS volt/percent. (ignition on, no start). Put it together and see where I am. If any adjustment, do it on the secondary knowing it will move both butterflies. Head for IAC...

Update: Messed around with the strategy of adjusting the throttle body secondary idle stop screw to get the IAC to be 40 counts, while the TPS is reading 0%, while the engine is idling warm. I could take the IAC to zero, OR, nearly full, and setting anything in-between, it just hunted around by...

Boy, I don't feel so bad about my stingrays, sharks, and flesh eating bacteria anymore.......

only if the RPM is off. Frequency meter. I have a full time freq and voltage meter in my dash to monitor it. I have an electricity monitor that I plug into an extension cord to have it near the genset when adjusting. If you are at 55 volts, I'm still betting on the cap(s).
