2008 Sundancer 330
V-Drives, Merc 8.1S Horizon.
DTS
175 hrs on each.
Was cruising around, but doing a lot of idling watching a boat parade.
Starboard engine just turned off, and would not start up again.
--Plenty of Ethanol-free gas.
--Battery was at about 12 or 13 Volts.
--Generator still ran.
--Water pump was still spitting our water.
--Oil pressure was normal.
--Temp was normal.
--Would not start with "emergency battery" start.
--No alarms or warnings on the SmartCraft.
After about 30 min, and intermittently a few failed attempts, it started again.
Cruised around without any problems.
Was at an area where we were watching a parade again- idling. And it did the same thing again.
After about 30 min, started again.
I put a volt meter on the batteries-- 14 + at rest, 13+ with engine (alternator) running.
:huh:
Any thoughts on what it could be?
Any next steps to trouble shoot?
:smt021 Argh!
Thanks for helping-- my brain is fried trying to figure this out.
