Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Batteries are good; I pulled them and brought them in to check and they're fine. When idling I get a good reading on my voltmeter at ~13.5, but when I am running it slowly starts climbing as high as 16+. This happens with either battery and verified by my multitester. It sounds like the...
Nice! I'll be trying that recipe soon!!
And yeah-- I guess "beaver attack" was pretty far down most people's lists, especially those in gatorland. However, with global warming gators may soon show up here in north Georgia and the whole beaver problem will be solved ;-)
Ok gents-- mystery solved. After checking all the connections again and testing the voltage at the ignition, I was pretty much stumped. Then I noticed that the fish finder wasn't reading depth and had a weird signal. As I looked around at the back of the pontoon, I realized the transducer...
both good ideas-- can't get back up to the lake to try these until after thursday and hopefully still able to move after turkey fest. Thank you all once again!
Ok-- you guys have convinced me to give it another try. I should mention this is on a pontoon so access to the wiring in the console isn't difficult, although I do have to remove the shifter to take the cover off the control box to reach the ignition switch.
One other thing-- when I turn the...
Thanks for all of the replies. I checked a bunch of the wiring from the ignition under the console and didn't see any loose connections. The batteries are fine and polarity is correct. There is a perko switch but it doesn't matter which battery its switched to I am getting power to the trim. I...
Thanks for all the suggestions. The battery terminals are clean and connections are tight-- one battery is brand new and it doesn't matter which battery is selected on the perko. Both get power to the trim.
Fuse is good; engine gets power since I can see it with a volt meter and the trim works. I can't see how it's a battery issue since the power to the trim is strong. I think it has to be in the control box somewhere or the ignition switch. I don't think its the starter solenoid since there is...
Racerone: Nothing when I push it in as far as I can tell, and will check the fuse this afternoon and report back if you're still online. Thanks for replying.
