What does the EMI breaker look like. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Can someone point me towards a probable cause for the touch pad on the console od my 240da not working. Its been setting a while and the last time i used it everything worked fine, but now none of the buttons function. Is the a master fuse somewhere that could have blown. Any insight would be...

you could just move to tampa shores/imperial key and park the boat behind the house!!! good deals to be had and just a couple of miles east of palm harbor on hillshorough ave. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

I didn't loose the prime on the pump water was flowing up past the pump. I felt the line gt cold with the water passing through it, but no water out the side. local stores don't keep cermatic heaters in stock. this is FL We don't get freezing temps here......

thats what i though; tried restarting the AC/Heat during the day and could not get water to run through the system. even toke the AC water pump apart to check it and all seems fine but still no water. When I went on board fan was blowing full tilt, but no water out the side and no heat coming...

temps dropped to 28 last night. the northern wind drove the water out of the canal starving the heater of water. looks like I have a repair pending after this freeze is over. Tonight where headed for 25 and now I have no heat.

The tempurature according to weather bug right now is 30 in Tampa. I had to take the boat off the lift and put it in the water so I could run the heater. I got the lights on and the heat set to 68 in hopes of keeping this hard freeze from cracking the block or any of the water lines in the boat...

I do mine once a year at the same time that I change the oil. I don't know about your engine but on the bravo III I/O's the water pump impeller is on the bottom starboard side of the engine. it's driven by a pully on the serpentine belt. it can be changed once you know "How to get at it"...

from a guy that actually owns a 240DA w/ 5.0 MPI. it's a dog for tubing. you need to be very careful not to overload the boat or you will never get on plane. a Driver (me), two teenage boys and 2 adult males and I had to keep asking those on the boat to move forward just to get on plane when one...

Have the same boat owned her since she was new. I do some of the service myself and even posted some how to docs on changing the oil and servicing the impeller. added a tv that mounted in cabin or cokpit, installed a VHF and Gramin plotter. feel free to contact me if you need advise. Note ...

my list has only 1 thing on it. More time with the ones i love..... preferably on the water.......

base'd on the picture it looks like you got the class D VHF installed to give the location of other vessels transmitting. I still need to do that, may be for Xmass present on the Daddy list.

Insight into coming technology. Not sure if anyone here has heard of LTE yet. but just as N is replacing A/B/G for capacity and distance LTE is going to be the replacement technology for cellular. don't invest big money in EVDO as the technology is about to be one up'ed. the Traditional...

The flush kits are designed to be used on slipped boats with strendirves or inboards with RAW water cooling. Some protection/prevention is better then none at all. anyone who trailers or hauls out is going to put on the muffs and flush out since they are out of the water (or at least thats the...
