You also need to have a way to use your starting batteries for the house as well. That gives you three batteries that can give you NAV & COMMS, not just one.

Or spend some $$: https://www.zoro.com/spyder-3-carbide-tipped-hole-saw-600830/i/G0327960/#specifications

Use a 3" OD hole saw until it bottoms out. Remove the hole saw. Use a screw driver to break out the cylinder that sticks up. Repeat.

I have the accessory leads that I installed myself and they all work fine. (F250s and F150). They each have a dedicated fuse on my engines. I'd try disconnecting each one and see if the other works. Maybe one is draining the other. I'd need a circuit diagram to troubleshoot the charging system.

Is this a new problem? What was done to install the autopilot? Did the house charge before? Look for a ground issue. Make sure your house battery ground is also the engine(s) ground. This is a stretch, but depending on the voltage regulator on your motors, could it not be designed to provide...

Thanks for the info!

It could be that your holding tank vent is clogged, It runs out the starboard side and sometimes has a filter in line. You can get to it thru the aft cabin starboard side removable panel. There is a screen on the thru hull that is designed to keep bugs out and dirt dobbers often clog it up...

If the dealership is selling you the boat and they currently own it. then they have a greater responsibility. If they are brokering the boat for a current owner, different issue. I had a similar issue with a dealer here on the West Coast of Florida. They actually owned the boat although it was...

On my vacuflush, when the tank is full the vacuum pump is disabled so it cannot be overfilled. The discharge pump has two duckbill valves that will prevent water from the hull overboard discharge from coming back into the holding tank when on a plane. Does your discharge pump run when you are...

Maybe I'm missing something, but the kill switch is attached to the red lanyard. It clips into the button on the lower rear portion of the throttle quadrant. It appears to be properly clipped in. When it is pulled the button retracts and grounds the ignition. BTW it is now required to be worn...

Read my post earlier in this thread.

Yes, My 2006 F250s are connected to 5212s.

The fuel filter is not fischer panda and may vary from boat builder to boat builder. The impellor kit is pretty standard and made by several manufacturers. West Marine may carry the Sierra brand. Part numbers vary depending on the manufacturer.

Yamaha makes a cable as do aftermarket manufacturers. They are just a little more expensive and probably have a diode in them to prevent your MFD’s from providing any data back to the motor. If you are not familiar with the way that a data bus works is probably better to just buy one of their...

No plug in my 2007 330 either. Would be very difficult to reach and put one in. The tube has a rough end in the aft bilge and a simple rubber plug would not likely create a seal anyway. A little trivia, in the older wooden boats I used to run, those passageways thru the ribs are called...

I've connected my 5212s, 5208, and 94sv all via NMEA2K. I made up my own cables by splicing NMEA2K plugs to a Yamaha bus system connector. About $20-30 for the connectors. Works fine. It is all CAN bus protocol after 2006, I believe. I have 2006 F250s and a 2011 F150. If you connect to the...

I assume you checked the generator light panel when it shut down to see if any of the warning lights illuminated. It will shut down for over temp, low oil pressure, overvoltage and under voltage and, I think, under frequency. All of these shut down by closing the fuel valve. If possible, try...

Using special studs that have Allen wrench inserts in the end make it easier. Let’s you insert a thin Allen wrench into the end of the stud, slip the wing nut over the end and that holds the wing nut as you thread it onto the stud. There are other earlier posts that have pics. Search “water pump...

Should not be too hard to run a new wire from the back of the electronics panel to that spot and install an in-line fuse. Mine is located in the entrance to the aft cabin, 07 330.

Good question! Has me wondering is it AC or DC powered? Most likely DC powered. Mine works fine but have not tried turning off various DC switches or AC switches to see if it goes through one of those. I do not have the wiring diagram with me, but I wonder if it shows anything. Following this...
