I'm have a surveyor checking out a boat I'm buying today and I've found a couple of issues yesterday and would like some guidance. The boat is an '05 420 Sundancer w/8.1L gas and hardtop.
1) Raymarine RM300 is frozen. Can see screen from last use and the keyboard beeps when button are pushed but there is no reaction whatsoever. The power button doesn't even turn it off. Is there some kind of factory reset/reboot that will help this or is it fried?
2) Took the boat out and the engines and transmissions seemed to work beautifully, however the boat only topped out at 23 knots and I was under the impression it should hit 26-27. The engine RPM's at WOT was 4100. They boat is an '05 and has been in freshwater since new (lake of the Ozarks) but still has the orginal bottom paint. From the surface the bottom doesn't look too bad but who knows.
3) Horn doesn't work and I've checked the breaker by you knees. Anything else to look for?
Will be spending 4-6 hours on it today so not sure what else I'll find but that's what I know for sure.
Thanks for any help.
