Thanks for your help the info was invaluable, found the fuse, ran the multi-meter over it and it appears to be the offending part so have a new one on order, I will continue investigation towards the alternator to discover the cause. Was lucky I posted on this site by mistake as have had no...

Thanks for the suggestion, I am prepared to investigate everything and yes I have had an alternator problem on that engine. How and where do I identify the 90 amp fuse ???

Hi everybody, I am looking for some help, I have a 2005 340 [375 here in Aus] with twin 320s FWC on shafts and have an electrical problem which has me stumped. When starboard batteries are energized very little works, no ignition, no instrumentation, even battery check gauge in panel shows nil...

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the intrusion, I hadn't been on the site in quite a while and had misplaced my links.

no that's not the case basically the whole system is working as it should, I'm just trying to find out what other things are energized when the solenoids are off so I can ascertain the current draw and if it just means I'm not putting enough solar in to cover the output.

yes there is always power to the aft EIM which is unswitchable but the sea ray manual doesn't really clarify what is sourcing power from the aft EIM or maybe it's hidden that deep in the info I just can't see it.

thanks for the reply and that's what I thought but I just can't find any real clarification in the manual of how many things are drawing current with the solenoids off.

I live in Australia and have a 375 sundancer [US 340 ] V drive with 6.2 petrols. The starboard battery bank is continually draining when the battery solenoid is turned off I understand the bilge pumps are connected all the time but they run rarely and are surely not the problem. The only other...

Cliff thanks for your reply but the battery draining occurs when both battery solenoids are turned off and the only things that are operating [ and on standby at that ] are the bilge pumps and the aft EIM, what I need to know is what might be consuming power through the Aft EIM.

Hi everybody, hope I'm not hijacking this thread, this is my first post and I'm not really sure I know what I am doing. I live in Australia and have a 375 sundancer [US 340 ] V drive with 6.2 petrols. The starboard battery bank is continually draining, I understand the bilge pumps are connected...
