Im Glad it worked out for you and you got to do the trip anyways mate :) Electrical problems are always such a pain in the a$$ and can be so hard to find ! I once couldnt start my port engine for a few weeks because of one stupid knocked off wire haha Hope you and your family enjoyed the trip!

Not sure on your boat mate..on mine there is a big charger that handles the 2 main 24v banks...the fuses and circuits are immediately visible when i remove the bottom cover.... I dont know your config or what kind of charger you have or if your charger even has fuses so cant give any more advice...

This is a longshot as we have entirely different boats ...i had a similar situation where everything connected to my stbd batteries circuit lost power...even my stbd guages and main panel meters were dark and i could not shut down that engine from the helm ...like your situation no tripped...

Hi I am having a weird issue with starting my starboard engine.. The remote line to my starboard starter is not getting power...the switch gets power all the guages come on but when we press start nothing happens.. The starter is good as we jump started the engine from the battery. We tried the...

Alnav great to talk to you again and thanks for the advice and welcome back :) Looks like we have figured out the leak .there is a leak on the main fuel intake line ...when the boat is running suction pulls the fuel through the hose so there is no leaking but once i shut down the engine all the...

Thanks bahamas!! I found the sensor you are talking about ..its has a very small leak on my port engine but not nearly enough to make the puddle i have been getting.....I solved the electrical issue..im not even going to say what it was here as its just so stupid....well ok either someone...

JimG: Thank you so much for you advice mate..and your welcome back i really appreciate it! I have missed all of you! A friend put the starboard batteries in i have a feeling he may not of put the wires on right ...luckily i disconnected the batteries before leaving ..I will spend the entire day...

Hi took the boat for a run today afterwards when we got back to dock there was some diesel fuel on the engine room floor..We spent quite awhile looking around at all the lines etc to find where this fuel could be coming from. Even ran the engines to see if maybe we could find the leak, spot it...

Hi Guys I know I have not posted in a million years here! I still have the boat but it has been a bit of a rough road for awhile. I did not want to put a negative spin on what was otherwise an amazing adventure with this boat and story. I am working hard on bringing a positive ending to this...

Hi I am having 2 electrical problems that always seem to happen at the same time so they must be on the same circuit. Intermittantly this problem occurs and it seems to usually happen after its been raining alot.. My roof has a couple of holes at this point and water can get to the switch panel...

Fwebster: Thanks so much for your input, you have always been one of the most knowledgeable on club sea ray! I talked to Westerbek since i made this post and they pretty much said what you did exactly. Its likely a faulty heat sensor or lose wire given that its not overheating at the time of...

Hi Everyone Just recently i had an issue starting my port engine. The great people on this site very quickly thought of what the problem was so i thought maybe it will be the same for my generator issue. My boat has a Westerbeke 12.5 BTDA generator. It starts fine and runs just fine with no...

Thank you very much to everyone that replied here!! It was the neutral start switch, a wire had been knocked off ...Its very nice to have the problem solved so easily! Thank you everyone for the great advice that got my port engine going again :)
