    Can connecting to a battery charger trigger the Smartcraft system check beep? + RPM Gauge question

    Onboard computer is wired directly to the battery. Either the battery voltage had dropped enough that the computer shut down and it was a “wake up” beep or the power surge when you connect the charger triggered an over voltage alarm. I assume where talking about a digital tach? No digital to...

    Electric fuel pump upgrade, which fuel filter/filter system?

    No reason you can't keep the filter head and hoses in place and just upgrade the filter. Quicksilver filters are one step above insect screen. Most OEMs recommend a 10 micron or better filter when using E10 fuels. Racor - PFF5510 - Oil filter type can Racor - B32020MAM - Filter with reusable...

    Has anyone installed trailer guides?

    Guessing either your bunks are not setup properly and or the trailer is too deep. With the bunks setup properly and the trailer at the proper depth, the boat should self center and “run around” 16 to 18” short of the bow stop. With front of boat sitting squarely on the bunks, the rear should...

    Need second battery pointers

    If your going as far as to separate the ignition and house loads, you might as well install an ACR while your at it. My boat came OEM with two batteries but the “house” was simply a backup with a 1/2/Both switch. It wasn’t until I installed a full complement of electronics on the “house”...

    2004 225 oil injector issue

    I won an all expense paid trip to the Midwest last week to trouble shoot what turned out to be a water flow sensor stuck open. The computer said everything was working properly. Water flow was good yet the system shut down from over temp. Moral of the story….don’t assume anything. First...

    Circulation pump

    Did they specifically say 304 stainless in the advertising? 304 is Austenitic and should not be magnetic but if there secondary work was done to the parts all bets are off. The process of stamping and surface polishing can change the micro-structure of S304 and thus create martensite The...

    Has anyone installed trailer guides?

    I guess it would depend on the rub rail design and quality My rub rails are “rigid vinyl with an insert. The lower durometer material resists marking, dings and scratches rather well. Certainly not going to be permanently damaged or marked by pvc https://www.integritymarinecorp.com/grady-white...
