Update; took off ground at battery (2 wires tied together) for fuel And cleaned and put back with checked good contact. CL7 shows full or alternatively just lines. Tank is recognized and shows 88%, so as correct Ab 20G used from full. My assumption now is that the calibration is such that it...

I do agree it was all caused by me removing all batteries in order to get to the last one and check for water level and condition of it. When reconnecting I first ended up with battery 3 minus bus cable getting disconnected upon reinstallation. 2nd when that one was resolved I found out that...

Yamaha is a CL7

1. The tank was full when I reset it. Have used 20G since then which does show up as used in Axiom. 2. Yes it must be a connection issue and I start to suspect the 2 wires that were loose from the house battery (impossible to visually see back there) may be that one should be to + while the...

I seem to have a continuing issue with fuel gauges. First they did not work after removing and putting batteries back. Turned out to be ground wires not connected at battery. Now they only show tank full and does not move as fuel is consumed. I see the flow rates and total used but not showing...

Does anyone know if this is a problem also on newer boats? I have a 2019 335 Freedom with triples and this would be a concern if it is an issue not addressed at all. H

One of the first things to always check is not only the kill switch BUT ALSO THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I don't know how many times I've heard of the motor being in gear and therefore not starting. Mechanic comes in moves the levers / shifters and voila, motor starts. Guess how stupid the owners...

I never had a directional valve on my boats. Just a lock out valve for the macerator for use on lakes and inshore. On my current GW there is only the discharge valve into the sea that is closed except when emptying through macerator. The dockside emptying is just by vacuuming out. Mine does...

I once used some Git Rot on my dinghy transom. It is an epoxy product. I drilled a number of holes and filled them up so the product was supposed to penetrate the rotten areas and set so it all would become solid. It was of course a mini sized transom compared to the one in question and the...

Standard equipment. Just take it with you to a marine store and then you can match pricing online to see where to buy it from. h

This is a possibility I just wonder how it behaves retrieving it through the front when I now have a swivel that orients it almost always correctly. How much Force do the zip ties stand, can't be that much. I will call UMT in Ft Lauderdale tomorrow to find out what they can do. I'm "just" 60...

Thanks, both sound like good points. I do have the thingy to drop down around the chain to pull it out .The stupid thing this time was that it was not that deep, some 8 ft under engines. It was blowing so I could not see bottom and I was alone on boat w limited options for maneuvering.. h

Was out in 16mph wind gusts 25 to 30 . well anchored and set. when leaving winch did not cut it. Had to motor it loose and when it popped free all ok EXCEPT anchor was now bent. See picture , it is bent towards me taking the pic. questi

Don't know specifics but in general: I assume your inverter is max 3000W or you need more than 4 golf cart batteries to feed it. the high wattage/consumption stuff work on AC but not off inverter, too much load. Also remember that inverters are usually marked with max value which is only for...

Are you the first owner? It could be a security system switch added by a previous owner. Something you turn on or off coming onboard and leaving, based on location. Just more to think of. H

summary; self inflicted problem. When removing batteries to check them out then replacing them in the dark, things go undetected. #4 battery has connected to the negative pole a couple of wires tied together. It is hard to see what is going on in the back of that battery and as it has it after...

Thanks, that is what I suspect and after all I've been through with this it is strange if there still are some leads that are hanging loose. Back to deep dive into battery cubby.

After I dealt with the batteries I now also lost the fuel / tank information. I have only one gas tank but also a diesel tank for gen. Both gauges are dead. so I go on Raymarine and the tank is listed and shows total volume in setup. But no info on current level. Also the diesel tank which gauge...

If you are hauling the boat or storing in a rack make sure the trim tabs retract when ignition is turned off. I don't know if your boat is equipped with the auto retract but in case it is, note that function.
