Beth - this same issue happened to us this weekend. The only thing we noticed is that the only thing we have power to is our trim. Our radio and pump do not have power. We have a SeaRay Sundeck 220. What fixed your solution? Thank you!

The red or the blue?

What stabilizer do you guys use?

First time boat owner - we live in Pennsylvania. We are putting the boat in a heated storage facility. Looking for suggestions/tips from others who do this. Do you use moth balls, dryer sheets, etc? Do you drain the gas thats left in the tank or use a stabilizer? Do you unhook the batteries...

Here is a picture of what was unplugged. The tag says diagnostic/depth finder. When we unplug this, the alarm doesnt go off and the boat doesn't shut off while we run it.

No - the boat was not working properly prior to replacing the gauge. When the motor started to sound the warning alarm and then shut off we checked all the major stuff. Oil, oil pressure, battery connection, temp, power trim fluid, etc. So then we thought, since the smartcraft gauge screen didnt...

I'll take a picture of what was unplugged tonight when I get home. Both batteries are brand new from June 2020. All connections with the batters are cleaned and tight. Last month the LCD in the smartcraft gauge was bad so we purchased another gauge. All fluids were changed in June 2020. New fuel...

I didnt mean that to be treated differently at all. Just in reading some of these threads I dont have a clue what the abbreviations mean and I do not have a mechanic lingo. I was only saying it so that when I ask additional questions you all will bare with me until I understand.

Ok. We will look into it more after season. For now we may get one or two more uses out of it. We just purchased it and still rying to get to know all its sounds. The prior owner has receipts from the marina that serviced it. From what you are saying with lack of maintenance with those things...

1. He unplugged the data link connector. Still trying to search other threads about why the alarm would sound while driving and then totally shut the motor off. (Only allowing us to restart it again) 2. Neutral safety switch or slave solenoid? - when we first turn the key to the right to turn...

First time boat owner. And a female so go easy on me...this is going to be long but im trying to explain what we've been trying to figure out. Also, the boat is a very nice, well maintained boat. I dont feel as if we have purchased a lemon but I feel like its just a small issue that's hiding and...
