    Where can I find this connector?

    Same supplier, not the same part. The one on Amazon is one of those cheap plastic housing with the stamped out pins. Decent ones use crimp pins

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    I’m running a two battery setup with ACR and a Off/On/Both switch. Primary (critical) circuit is wired to ACC post on switch with in-line breaker. Covers ignition, nav lighting, primary navigation devices, trim tabs, NMEA network, etc. Secondary fuse panel is wired direct to house battery...

    Lowrance HDS and Yamaha 6YC troubles

    K Seems like a decent manual. What information are you looking for? I suspect your NMEA network isn’t functional. Have you confirmed the network is powered and operational? Confirmed all the sensors are powered and communicating?

    Lowrance HDS and Yamaha 6YC troubles

    https://cdn.yamaha-motor.eu/owner-manuals/Outboard%20Engines/6YC-2819U-70.pdf Here is the manual. Doesn’t support trim tabs, speed, etc. w/o external (NMEA 2000) feedback. Also requires a NMEA 2000 back bone. Perhaps never installed or removed by PO

    Weather

    The jet doesn’t bring us snow. Serves as a boundary between warm and cold air for us Any weather (snow) coming from the west gets knocked down by the mountains. Most, if not all of our snow originates in the Gulf States then moves north and east (offshore) where it collides with the warm...

    Weather

    Tucked in between the Atlantic and the Appalachian Mountains with the jet stream overhead in the winter, we have always been subjected to wild weather swings in the winter. Getting a 60 to 70 degree day in the winter is fairly common. 68 yesterday…woke up with 1” of snow on the ground this...

    High Voltage

    The motor operates off battery power, not the charging system. Batteries will not last long being charged at 18 volts

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Power to the fuse box is coming off a 50 amp breaker on the motor and broken out on Pin 6 of the the main engine harness connector. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/865506/Maxum-2400-Sc3.html?page=44 The power for my primary instrumentation runs directly from the ACC terminal on the battery...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    I = v/r. Current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. If tying the two batteries together doesn’t reduce the voltage drop, demand is exceeding supply. Dirty battery terminals, bad batter(ies), bad starter solenoid, bad starter....... typical...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Powering sensitive electronics off/through the ignition circuit is just asking for problems. Power drops, noise, surges, etc. My ignition powers nothing but the ignition switch. Everything else is either powered directly from the house battery or in the case of the components connected to the...

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Is that 8.2V at the axiom connector or on the battery? Axiom spec is 8 volts…. Compare voltage at battery to voltage at connector. “1000 mca when new” doesn’t rule out a dying battery. Have you had the batteries load tested recently? I typically use this as a sign to replace my batteries

    Issue with Electronics resetting when starting boat

    Zz Too lazy to dig up your units specification but doubt they are spec’ed to operate at 8.2 volt Weak battery or the battery is too small (mca) for the motor

    Finding a short

    Check for continuity between the negative post on the battery and the hull. If you have continuity check for voltage between the hull and the negative post on the battery.

    '74 Holiday 18 Restore Mod.... Convert to open bow.

    Adding weight or bulk to a failing structure is never a good thing. Will only make things worst in the long run. Need to address the structural flaw that is the root cause of the problem. Not put a band-aid the results of the problem.

    Trailer Brakes or Not

    Is it possible….yes. Twice I’ve driven 400+ miles w/o brakes on a boat trailer combo of similar weight after catastrophic brake system failures. Gave myself extra room to stop and continued down the road. Is it “safe”? Depends on the operator’s skill level and your definition of safe. People...
