Hi. Was the DC Panel easy to drop down without disrupting any of the connections??Mine are the stock amps, on the back wall behind the DC Panel. Mine are Marine Audio. They are more or less pictured in the center.

Thanks!
View attachment 69614 This is the view from my bedroom window. Kev I bought that table from the company that advertises on here, I love it, it’s bigger than the factory table but not too big. I’ll see if I can dig up what size I ordered. Thanks for the amp picture!
Thanks yeah I’m reading through them
Newbie here....can someone tell me what the lower right retangular icon with the arrows pointing in is for? I lights up but I cannot figure out what it is for or doing. Thanks.
As stated it is the power switch for the fresh water system on smaller boats. Although it is active. If you have the wiring schematics to your boat, you can trace that switch back through the EIM under the helm. There is actually a breaker in there that will excite when you turn it on. Takes a little investigation with a test light and turning the switch on and off, but there is one in there. You can then locate the wire coming from the EIM and use it for an additional aux power switch. Careful with the amp draw. I used mine for my autopilot power, others have used it for added on LED lighting - works nice.

thanks. Can yo access the back of the radio from there??Very easy to remove. Take out a few screws and it will pull away. In the photo I posted above you can see the cabling that was tied together to feed the panel. Getting to things inside is not too bad but almost impossible to work with two hands inside. Once you start working inside just make sure to stay away from AC components and you should be fine.

I’m trying to figure out why my Sirius doesn’t work
I do. The puck is mounted on the arch. Everything was installed by the factory/ previous owner. I can’t find the SID number so I am trying to trouble shoot.Sorry, I don't have Sirius installed on my boat. I took the easy way out and added a Bluetooth adapter to the radio aux in and stream SXM from my phone.
Do you have the SXM antenna on the boat? Even though the units are Sirius ready they needed the external antenna / receiver.

Clean all of your connections at the starter solenoid would be a good place to start.Anyone ever have this issue. It’s intermittent, some unrest when I’m about to start the boat . I’ll press the start switch forward. Wait for the beep and the gauges to come alive, then press all the way forward to start. Sometimes thought I press the switch the first time and the beep doesn’t happen. I won’t up tapping the starter and then it will beep. Then I actually hold it down long enough to start it. Any ideas?
You are going to laugh but I had a very similar occurrence and the culprit was a loose wire on the starter. There are two wires that connect to the starter under the little hood and one of mine had come loose. It would intermittently tap the other wire closing the start circuit. Hopefully yours is that simple.Anyone ever have this issue. It’s intermittent, some unrest when I’m about to start the boat . I’ll press the start switch forward.
