installed new sender (200$) manually moving it generated no change on gauge, worse first time I lowered engine it sheared off outer plastic housing of sender rendering it more useless than it already was. i was suspicious there was not adequate clearance when installed. looks like i will be...

mine on my old 280 marlin was in the bilge just barely arms reach when contorted lying on your stomach from fore and aft access. took one short look and called the mechanic when needed replacing. i believe that was when i started thinking there must be a special hell for boat designers

starboard tilt trim indicator never worked, gauge bars rise to top when ignition turned on but drops to one bar immediately. port does same but functioned normal when motors lifted. since we trim both same when running let it go. last run port was slow to respond to changes making trimming...

visit some marine electronic web sites to explore products and ideas. most have suggested wiring diagrams and techniques. sounds like you have a blank canvas there to work with and fun project ahead. if not sure just ask plenty here have a boat load of knowledge (pun intended)

yes it is all about a trolling motor addition at some point this summer, with possible remote camping on islands on the lake. i had everything but the acr on hand and got a good deal on that. cleaned things up in the battery compartment, added neg buss ran new 14 ga to helm, and cleaned up that...

added 7in raymarine axiom mfd and it is just amazing. no more random wanderings while trolling. we start with a plan and try to stick to it. it has produced, including my first sailfish hookup. which only lasted a few minutes but was great, i will never forget that first jump!

thanks but those diagrams do not show where to put acr, the only blue sea diagram i have seen with switch and acr uses the dual circuit plus switch how about this set up but move panel red wire from output on switch and place directly on pos house terminal. typical running would be switch in...

After 2 years of searching we finally found a used small pontoon boat for our camp upstate NY. 16ft tracker bass buggy. Has new single 12 v battery, 40hp merc with 18amp charging output. I have an Blue Sea ACR and several 1-2-both switches. I cannot seem to see how to use what I have to set...

My bad drawing is incorrect wiring in boat is. Not sure why I cant seem to post correctly the first time!

Sorry for the poorly written post. Glad others read better than I write. To clarify, I currently have a 4 battery system with 2 pairs of 2 bats in parallel. Each bank is connected to a 1-2-both switch. Currently starboard is 1, port 2. The positive terminal of each bank (at the battery not...

In addition to the seloc manual I did get a fourth battery. For now until time to take boat out of commission for awhile (we have had the best water and bait combo since feb, I cannot miss it) I will run 2 banks of 2 bats in parallel. The port bank feeds a 1-2-both switch which feeds the house...

got the seloc manual today and will start reading tonight

got curious so put boat in water and hooked up voltmeter to starting bats. Initially both about 12.9, then started engines starboard went up to 13.6 then over about 10 min settled at 13.1 port went to 13.9 and stayed at 13.9-14 both batteries were at 13 volts when engines shut down does this...

both engines showed good voltage and rpm response at all points on main charge/start wire stand corrected on pass voltage, i expected to see direct short on meter, 0 ohms. I got high R and probably low I, giving some V

the block is definitely fuses, high amp60-80 I do not remember. I pulled and checked all 4, 2 each aux 2 each main. When fuses were pulled and fuse holder pulled from plastic block was when I checked continuity. there were no diodes i could find along the wires. As far as I could tell it was...

To eliminate variables I disconnected everything from the house battery. It is just a 12 volt battery in the compartment with nothing attached, except negative connections to 2 start batteries and the neg buss, no switch. During my testing I was using 3 or 4 voltmeters simultaneously to get...

So here is what I came up with. Pulled and checked fuses and contacts again, disconnected everything from house battery including aux cables Starboard engine voltmeter on aux fuse no voltage when off, engine running 8.5-9 v at fuse and 7 at aux cable, no change with increase rpm, when aux...

engine covers off and starting anew, with less anxiety than yesterday. We were 28 mi offshore and lost all nav and radio when house bat went down. I will never forget hearing the wife say "there is an alarm and low battery reading on screen". The Ritchie got us pointed right, but need more...

1997 sorry
