Quick question - heading back up to the cottage this week and going to mess around with this.
I think I got this right:
- brass sensor on the starboard side is the temp sending unit to the gauge
- stainless steel sensor on the port side (with red tape) is the warning gauge/alarm ??
I need...
I'm a rookie, and somewhat of a youtube handyman, so a couple of questions:
it's a 1994 5.7 Merc Alpha One -
1) to check the sensor ground to see if it's the gauge - where is the sensor? is it the one with red near the tip? (on the right side looking down at it) It looks there are 2...
Actually I was reading online and I think it reads at the last RMP you shut the engine off.....if you turn key to battery only, then turn it off, it goes back to zero.
I'm considered a rookie, so once I get back to my boat I'll see if this works......all shrink-wrapped for now.
I noticed this on mine. When the engine is off, it shows 1,000 rpm.
Looking at pictures online, it seems a lot of boats from the 90s have this same issue.
Is this fixable, or is it probably faulty (which is fine)....just didn't know if there's a quick fix.
My fuel sending unit is bouncing my fuel gauge about 1/4 tank each way at times, so it's on the fritz.
That being said, I need to get a new one, but due to my oversight, the boat's been shrinked for the winter, and I never got around to figuring out the depth of the tank.
It's a 1994 220...
I have a 94 220BR, and the (2) covers are still in good shape.
I want to make a second pair (winter project that probably won't get done anyway), and was wondering what material was used for the original covers?
I bought an aftermarket whole-boat cover just to have for piece-of-mind. This was...
newer boater - getting mixed answers.
Have a 22 ft bowrider - ride it once a week each month for about 5 months (in an adjacent state)......battery is dead, was a newer starting batter with good charge beginning of week.
It lost crank by weeks-end, so while it was newer, I wanted something...
