Something us drawing the batteries down but I can't figure out what. I've tried to isolate the culprit without luck. I have a dual battery system and - All is Good if I leave the battery Switch in Off. No drain down of the batteries. Troubleshooting so far, I got 2 new batteries and a new...

Hi folks, our 1990 express cruiser has the 2 454's. I'm installing a new battery isolator, on the package it states "this isolator will not with self-exciting alternators. My question is, do i have self-exciting alternators on our boat?? I put new alternators on 2 years ago. I have pics of the...

I've lost power to the port cigarette lighter plug and helm station unit. I suspect there is a fuse under the helm station, the labeling is very difficult to read. Does anyone have familiarity with this and know which fuse it may be?

Hello just introducing myself here before I start trying to shake down my new Bowrider 200. It's been sitting for a few years but was well taken care of before that. When I picked it up the starter and starter solenoid relay were shot. I replaced those, changed fluids and put in a new fuel...

So boat is in storage. Has electrical short that causes 117 volts to travel from window frames to ladder leaning on side of boat Hull to get in and out. No power available at the console. Where is the converter located so that I may be able to find the short and get it fixed?

I'm having an intermittent issues with the Starboard gauges and center shared gauge on my 2005 280 Sundancer with twin 4.3 MPI's. I was anchored for the day on Saturday. I was running the generator (runs on the same battery as the stbd engine) and it started just fine multiple times. I ran...

Adding new rocker switches sounds easy - right? I have read threads on this forum but have not found an answer to my question, so turning to this group for some guidance. I am looking at purchasing newmarine etched rocker switches...

I have a 2014 Sundancer 280. Spent the weekend at the marina and before bed noticed that the cabin lights seemed a tad bit dimmer than usual - but not enough to do anything. The floor lights were flickering albeit very subtle. The TV had a hard time keeping a channel locked in to a signal...

I have a 2001 Searay 190 Merc 5.0L Alpha One. Winterized in the fall.... attached a fresh battery this spring. Turn the key...nothing. No accessories or anything. No life on the gauges. I have 12v going to the fuze card under the dash, but when I attach the wiring harness to the card the...

Have a problem with my Fuel Shut Off Solenoid. Tested Solenoid, all ok. No Feed from harness. Circuit Diagrams do not show where it is fed from. Very grateful for any help. If not, I'll have to fit a Manual Shut Off which I don't really want to do. Cheers!

hello all, my secondary battery on my 2009 Sundeck 240 has no power. Battery tested good but at an over abundance of caution I purchased a new battery and am still having same problem. When switched to battery 2 the radio will play for a couple of seconds then I lose all power. No problem...

Hey guys - My neighbour helped me uninstall my starter over the weekend and I just got it rebuilt. I would like to try to reconnect it on my own, but don't know what the wiring should be like. Can anyone tell me based on this photo what should be connected to each post? Thank you

I have a 2006 Sea Ray 38 with Mercruiser inboard gas engines. I recently had maintenance work done (at the local dealer) to replace the water pumps, impellers and an oil change. Now when I start the engines I get 3 beeps with about 1 second delay between each beep. You can watch a video here...

Me again! :) I have twin 454's with port engine is brand new with less than 50hrs. Starb engine 600hrs. So hopefully nothing major with power for awhile. But I know there is always something. What would you captains suggest I bring and store on her for emergency situations? Belts, fuel filter...

Hello All We recently bought our first boat and being handy, I’m hoping to save a little money by installing a Chartplotter/GPS unit myself. The mounting is a no brainer, but I don’t have a clue where to connect the electrical. I’m assuming there are terminal blocks somewhere for all the cockpit...

Took my '97 SR 330 DA for a shakedown ride. Everything great for 45 min's. Slowed to idle for no-wake zone and port engine shut off. I could restart it, but the only way to keep it running was to goose throttle and keep rpm's above 1600. Cursed. Turned around. Limped on 1 screw. Restarted port...

Hey guys. I have a 1997 Sea Ray 400 Sundancer. The other day my weekly boat washing guy came down and after he left, none of the 120 V plugs on the starboard side inside my cabin work. I think he may have sprayed water into the plug under one of the seats on the aft seating area. I have...
