I have a hard time understanding that setup, parallel batteries with a separate charger feed to each one. I am an electrical engineer although it has been quite a while since I have been in that business so I am probably not up to snuff with the newest technology. That said, the Promariner web...

If you have a fuel delivery issue and I don't know if you do, it is possible that the motor will run too lean if you try more throttle than a troll. The lean mix can cause motor damage. I am saying that you shouldn't ignore the problem and at a minimum should pull the spark plugs, note what...

The batteries are either in parallel or they are not. That is to say that the batteries would be hardwired to each other for parallel service. Electrically that looks like one battery with twice the capacity ( a little simplified but good enough for my argument), Since they are wired in common...

In the 'worst ' case, you can use the old lid to make a mold for a new hatch. A fiberglass shop could do that. If you are not too picky, a hatch could be fabricated using Starbioard. The color probably won't match but that approach would be a lot less expensive than having a mold and a lid made...

Brochure states that it is a 45 gallon tank

ok, so basically we can't tell if that motor ever made proper revs near WOT under load in the water.

For those who have never connected NMEA 183 devices, I am sure you said " How hard can it be, it's only 3 (really 2) wires.............

I am glad it worked out for you. I could never do that!

Doc, how does the second screen shot relate to the first? The second shows no hours in the 5000+ range

I think the oil levels and trim indicators may have been misinterpreted. There is no display of oil level other than low. Part of the confusion is also the fact that when the gauges are powered up, they do a self test and display all bars and icons just so you know the display is working.

The link to the Garmin manual doesn't work This one worked for me https://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/default.aspx?Category=202

How is that 232 working out. With a few small concerns, I like that model a lot. In my opinion, buying a boat, sight unseen is as dopey as buying a house like that. It's madness!

Private Message (PM) me on this forum with your email address and I will try to send you an electronic copy of the service manual.

It's mid July and while many folks may be thinking about the new school year, this is the time when I start to think about the boat market pre winter season. I think we all know that in 4 season climates that the end of summer is one of the best times in general to look for a boat.( Start of...

Luckydude, Thanks for the endorsement but I am not an expert by any means. Since I have had a 208 for 15 years and do all my own work ( that's getting harder these days) including the work on the SX motor, I do have a decent knowledge of that package. I will also admit that I am often wrong in...

The second printout shows that the motor never made WOT revs. It has a small amount of time in the 4 to 5000 range but that could have been 4001:) I am hoping it is something simple like a loose plug wire but I am also concerned that the problem may have existed from birth. I think you should...

I think it is #4.

If the interface is 0183, Nmea 2000 won't help, its a different beast altogether.

Stopping gulls at the dock is hard . Eliminate any food if you can and that often means fish parts from cleaning fish. If you do need to dump fish scraps, get a 5 gal bucket and cut out the bottom. Then float the pail ( now a cylinder) in the water with some line to tie it off. Dump the fish...

Basically, you need to polish it but that means different things depending on how bad the finish has gotten. If there is heavy oxidation, my first step would be to buff with a wire wheel or wire cup on a grinder. Continue with finer grades of wheels and eventually get to buffing with a felt or...
