Thanks Lazy Daze. I didn't notice that. That is very helpful. Still lots of tracing to do in tight little places!

Having scanned the engine bay further, I have found a deutsch (2 pin) connector B4A, which is intended for the hatch actuator. The switch would be located at the helm, but is also an option not installed - the switch position is blanked out. But as with the swim platform, there is a wire to the...

I have an accessory switch installed at the helm which is wired up for the hydraulic swim platform option aft under the surface platform (visible at the fuse block under the helm), only the option was not installed. With the wiring in place, I am looking to use the accessory switch at the helm...

The hatch cover in the floor of my 250SLX is warped and rises in one corner towards the rear latch lock about a quarter of an inch. I have tightened the latch lock as far as the play allows. Any further attempted adjustment to the lock is not an option, as the strain on the hinge joints at the...

I worked through it and it works perfectly! I actually used the sensor XKC-Y25-NPN. Here is a sketch of how it was wired up (nomenclature in German, but easily translated).

Here are the wiring diagrams and control panel view. As noted above, the holding tank sensors are not installed, but the diagram shows how it would be hooked up.

Done some more research on external sensors that may hook up to the existing monitor. One is a set of 3 sensors, example supplier https://mikroelectron.com/Product/XKC-Y25-NPN-Waterproof-Non-Contact-Liquid-Level-Sensor-Switch-Signal-Output-DC-5-24V where each sends a signal at 12v (0v for no...

So, having established that access is a major issue, and reading the horror stories of other boaters on cleaning issues, often with limited success, I find the alternative of external sensors (e.g. capacitive) attractive. Ideally, it would be possible to hook-up the sensors to the existing...

I have an SLX250 with the above panel control and indicator panel (same as on the SLX270). My issue is the indicator should show EMPTY/HALF/FULL, but only shows POWER when I turn the key to on. No indication of the level in the holding tank. My question is what is the likely issue? The wiring to...

Has anyone had experience dealing with system errors on the Lenco AutoGlide trim tab control? I took my 250 Sun Sport out of winter sleep and it defaults into what Lenco calls 'Limp Home Mode'. I have checked that engine and GPS data appears on the NMEA2000 network, but can't get it out of...
