    Trying to get my boat working properly this summer despite several setbacks. Started the engine and after about 10 minutes idling at the dock I heard a couple of alert beeps a minute or apart. Then continuing beeps. Turned off the engine and used my Diacom to read the codes. DTC 441 and 442...

    VP DPS-A OXI outdrive with DTC=713

    I went to my boat today to reset the Ocean-X. I found the Diacom has an option to reset the Ocean-X and used it. No active code after I reset the Ocean-X.

    You typically have one water pump that pumps sea water towards the engine and another water pump that pulls in some of that water and via a thermostat circulates water through the block.

    Need length of VP shift cable

    Boat is a 2011 Chaparral Signature 270. Need to replace the shift cable. Would like to know ahead of time so I can buy the proper cable. The throttle cable is a 19'. Outdrive is DPS-A OXI. Looked with a flashlight and do not see a marking on the shift cable. Found one on the throttle cable.
