I would not drill holes. I would use a product similar to stern mate. It glues onto your transom and is easily adjustable for tilt and height. I put one on my 330 and it works great. Had one on my scout for years. Check out the stern mate website for lots of good tips, I am not associated with...

I believe if your motors are the older 3.3 L or the newer 4.2 L they will have different gear ratios and turn the prop at different speeds at any given engine rpm. I would take that into consideration when talking to prop experts.

To get to the back of the MFDs you have to raise the electronics box/ram to nearly the full up position, disconnect the ram from the electronics box, and I put a stick, padded on both ends, under the box after I manually raise it to and almost vertical position. The area behind your engine...

How old are the gauges and are they faded? Pics don't indicate condition too well.

Get the manual out and it will tell you how to troubleshoot your unit that will give you trouble codes.

They need to be 1242 XSV “Plus” models. Apparently the plus added J1939. Regular 1242 XSV does not have J1939 according to the Garmin website. My 1243XSV do have J1939 ports on the back.

I believe that Regardless of power port usage or not, only three devices can be connected to each hub. I ran NMEA2K from the open aft device port to the network as I too had three gauges. From your comment I assume you have the 1242 Plus?

I believe the Yamaha command link hub only has three device ports. So your forward hub will be taken up by your three gauges. Your aft hub may only have two devices, one for each engine. Agree with skunk, J1939 is the way to go but Nema 2000 is configurable through the Garmin software menus for...

Sorry, mine is Yamaha.

I'd set up a NMEA 2K network as it will have other usages depending on your electronics. For instance Fusion stereos can be controlled from your 1243s via the NMEA 2K, the VHF FM marine radio may get it's position for DSC reporting from NMEA 2K. Heading sensors use NMEA2K. My 330 has one...

Grady-White does not put electronics on the boat from the factory. That is typically done by the dealer. The NMEA0183 is an older protocol and is not compatible with your new engines. Your gauges are either command link or command link plus protocol. Most likely command link plus plus. The...

I was given a used tilt assembly, not sure what model but I was told it works fine and you can have it for the cost of shipping if it happens to be the right part. What is the year and model of your motor?

Tanks are completely independent. I have an aeronautical engineering background so, like on a multiengine aircraft, I run one engine off the aux (fwd) and the other engine off the main (aft). You can run both engines off either tank depending on the valve positions. They are fueled separately...

I add a lubricity increaser occasionally to add longevity to the fuel pump. I do that in my diesel truck as there has been some issues with the newer Bosch fuel pumps in the new diesel trucks and the newer fuel low sulfur has lower lubricity than previously. I guess if you’re up north and...

My guess is you have a mismatch between the lines size and and size of the gypsy. The size of the gypsy is written on it. It may have to be removed to view the size. There are several sizes for each size windlass and they are easily changed out. Recommend you go to the Lewmar website and do...

For my Yamaha‘s, all of that data is in fact on N2K. The software in the Garmin can pick it all up and it does not need to be a J 1939. The Garmins will display essentially all data. I initially had 2006 F250 and Garmin 5212s and now 2022 F300s and Garmin 1243s. It is a CAN bus to N2K. I am not...

With an average load and a full diesel tank it should run about 10 12 hour days. Say 120 hours. The book says less than 1/2 L per kilowatt hour. We run ours on three day trips all night long for air-conditioning and usually use about a quarter of a tank. We love ours. Make sure to adjust the...

It just so happens that the advanced helicopter rescue school (AHRS) was training in that area at the time. Lucky criminal!

I've used both 1/2 and 5/8. I prefer 1/2. It is plenty strong and much easier to cleat. 5/8 for heavy weather conditions maybe.

You are not the only one. It isn’t a matter of it backing up it’s a matter of the fill being on a vertical surface I think. I have had better luck buying one of the flexible nozzles that can flex and point down and it’s a relatively small nozzle so it is a bit slow to empty the container. I too...
