I've been getting the following alarm on my Smart Craft screen "FUEL LVL2 CKT HI", this is coming up for both engines. Anyone else have this issue?

A few weeks back I started getting an alarm at the helm, checked the Smartcraft screen and it called out low pressure on my port sea water pump. Changed out the sensor and two weeks later I'm getting the same alarm. I checked the pump pressure on the screen and it reads 37.5 PSI at Idle and 45...

Apparently the gasket sealing the upper and lower halves of my open array failed allowing rain water to enter causing massive corrosion. I've owned the boat since 09 and have never had the unit opened so assuming it was bad for a long time. As I'm not ready to upgrade looking for open array from...

Have a recurring issue, my starboard engine will not crank when warm. Cold start is never an issue. After engine reaches operating temperature and I go to restart after being shut down for a few hours the fuel pump comes on but engine will not crank. So far I've done the following: - swapped...

Detailer dropped his extension cord into the water and now the AC power to the cockpit outlet and cockpit refrigerator are not working. No sign of burnt wire at either outlet, replaced outlets and still powerless. Galley fridge still working fine, cockpit fridge only works on DC. All other...

All of a sudden the back lighting on my screen is not functioning, I've adjusted the brightness and contrast with no change to the night time illumination. Controls do alter the daytime vision so they are working. is there a lamp that needs replacing? Manual doesn't indicate if there is one.

yesterday about 10 minutes after shutting down the boat at my dock the systems monitor alarm sounded, the screen cycled thru every possible thing that could be monitored. i checked the obvious items (bilge pumps) and found no water and the floats were not hung up. I then started the engines...

The sea water temperature on my Smart Craft display has been reading 163 degrees, a little warm for this time of the year, lol. This started late last season and I hoped that by removing and cleaning the transducer while on the hard would take care of it. Transducer was clean when I removed it...

Has anyone tried E3 spark plugs in their 8.1? Changing plugs this season and was wondering if this was the way to go as my engines run rich and thought the "Diamond Fire" eletrodes might help by giving a more complete burn.

Looking for advise on how to remove the UPPER portion of the "U" shaped seating on my 380DA. Most of the fasteners are easy to find, the troubling one for me will be the starbord side of the aft seatback. Boats still wrapped and on the hard so it looks like a few more weeks before I get to pull...

The screen on my systems monitor is blank, I've tried the reset procedure with no luck. I have been told that the parts are no longer available, as the system is still giving audible notification I believe that the LCD screen module (Part # 1907585) is kaput. Does any one know if the screen can...

Has anyone tried Petitt's "Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier 1792"? I'm thinking of giving it a try this season and was curious if any other members have tried it. Also what are you using for cleaning your bronze propellers, basically to remove the crud that the pressure washer has left behind.

I contacted SR and gave them my HIN in order to obtain the correct hull color for some gelcoat repairs. As suspected the color is "Arctic White", here's the fun part, spectrumcolor offers at least a half dozen flavors of Arctic White. Too make it more confusing SR gave me a Valspar part number...

Due to the post hurricane fuel shortage on Long Island I'm forced to scavenge gas from my boat, the 90 degree elbows at the top of the fuel tanks make it "impossible" to siphon gas out thru the filler necks. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the fuel out safely. Local news is reporting...

A local marine surveyor recently told me of a recall on oil and transmission coolers. He said that the coating on the inside of the coolers would / could peel off and clog the passages. has anyone else heard of this recall?

Started my generator today and I got no power to the boat. Generator started right up and sounde normal but no power to AC systems, switched breakers from shore power to generator and nothing. Is there a breaker or switch somewhere that I'm missing?

On Saturday my Smartcraft alarm sounded while I was running at about 800 rpm's, basically said that my port IAC was acting up and that I could not use full power. Well after that I came in and ordered a replacement for installation next weekend. Following day I went out and not wanting to run...

Yesterday I got a alarm stating that my port IAC was malfunctioning and that hi speed running was not advised (i'm paraphrasing) as i was local and still in the 5 mph zone I couldn't feel or hear anything different in the way the engines were performing, I ordered a pair of IAC's and will...

Smartcraft system started barking today, apparently I need to replace my IAC, is this a Mercruiser only part or can it be sourced at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc?

My extended warranty expired last month after 3 years of ownership on my 380DA, SR contacted me recently with the option to extend the warranty for an additional 3 years. great news until I saw the bottom line, $7,390.00 (for $40K in coverage), $8,990.00 (for $60K in coverage) and $9.790.00 (for...
