    250 etec pair trim not working

    Would seem obvious but have you tested the batteries? Trim takes a lot of current. Replaced my trim motor this Spring. Install went easy enough but spent an hour trying to figure out why it didn’t work afterwards Had power…..just installed 2 new batteries the prior weekend. Turned out both...

    VesselView problem - shows only RPM

    Where are you getting the power for the Bluetooth and Vessel View devices? Sounds like the network is dropping out from an under-voltage condition. Try powering the devices from a power source separate from the boat's ignition system to see if changes anything

    Battery Switch question

    Best practice is to install an ACR with a ON-Off-Both switch and be done playing “battery switch roulette” altogether. Battery wise, I divide everything into two camps. Battery 1: 1. Everything I need to run the boat to get safely home (Motor, Trim Tabs, NMEA 2000 network, Chart plotter...

    1996 fast trac trim tilt

    There is a 20 amp fuse in the trim circuit but it powers both relays. I would start by buzzing out the “up” side switch circuit as they are wired in series. Start with wire between the solenoid and motor switch. This segment common to both helm and motor switches

    1992 evinrude 200xp tachometer issues

    Do you a OEM manual? Looking at a manual for a 1997 and there are very specific tests to check tach operation. Don’t know if your is the same but most tests are looking for battery voltage or zero voltages between the gray and black wire at the dash without the motor running. The one 1000...

    89 Johnson get 200 no top end power

    Assume nothing…..the fact that they’ve done all this work, “everything is in spec”, and the motor still doesn’t run right speaks volumes to their diagnostic capabilities. Something doesn’t add up. Why would you need a lower crank seal on a freshly rebuilt motor? If the compression is even and...
