Where to start looking? Last night both tach lights & gauges would turn off for a few seconds then hear one Beep and a quick RPM drop on both motors simultaneously then go back to normal. All this was happening numerous times with no consistency for 30 minutes until i got back to dock.

Removed ice maker June 2021, freezer worked and never checked if it makes ice, PO said it worked but we wanted a beverage cooler in its place. Before I send to a recycler I thought see if someone needed parts etc… Free pick-up in Minneapolis or you pay shipping
NMEA network issues -or- so I think. Starting last fall and started again last week after splashing. After starting both motors somewhere between 1 and 6 minutes i hear a beep and simultaneously the port motor quickly misfires and all gauges (including Smart craft) go blank for 10 seconds...

Purchased 2006 380SD in June had to remove Raymarine open radar and Trac Vision for transport and would not fit in covered slip. Inland lake and did not need but was fully functional on Lake Michigan. Also removed U-line ice maker, freezer worked but did not make ice. I didn’t try to fix ice...
2006 380SD - Kohler gen will only run if turned on from generator panel in bilge and runs great with no issues. If we try to turn on from cabin panel it starts up but dies immediately.
Could that be a bad switch in on the cabin panel?
Thank you
Replaced the NorthStar with hand held. With so many broken Northstars has anyone come up with a good idea of what to do with this space? Thinking about some type of glove box storage with a door?? I will just leave it in place for now
Sent this to "Stray Current" but thinking someone else may know the answer;
Hi Stray Current, In a previous thread I was told (as your name implies) you are an expert with generators. My 2008 K 5ECD starts on its own apparently when the boat voltage drops below a certain voltage. Gen had 60...
Need to replace some fittings on the fresh water system on the blue and red plastic water lines. Where is the best place to buy that stuff? Home Depot, West Marine, RV store ?

2) move the mounting post and battery trays 1” forward? PIA

Vent motor stopped working after being very loud. I asked this question for our 2008 330/350SD on that forum and did not get a reply. So before I start removing microwave, fridges Etc I thought I would ask everyone for a clue. The Galley and Head share the same vent motor with switches in...
Just purchased 2008 330SD. The Raymarine C80 Chartplotter has poor display detail. The C80 has the correct SD card for our area but as you zoom in the lake and shore looks like Legos (or a 1970’s video game) We had a new Garmin chartplotter in previous boat. I’m wondering if that’s as good as...
2006 290 SD, Clarion. Stereo works perfect while engines are running. after we are anchored for approx 30 minutes the 4 cockpit speakers slowly fade out to 0 volume. Cabin speakers working fine. Tested 3 batteries @ 12.6v, 11.4v & 11.5v.
