Need help with SYTEMS MONITOR

July 2017 update:

I finally sqeezed the $$$ from my wallet and replaced the LCD dash panel for the system monitor. Back in business. I have to admit that despite the cost, it is nice to see that "All Systems Normal" message.

Can you post where you purchased the replacement unit?

Thanks to all who have provided input on this topic. It seems that the Sea Ray Systems Monitor "system" can be quite problematic. I was able to utilize the troubleshooting diagram posted by another user to determine if the system was a complete failure. When the system does not work, you have no alarms for the engines (or other monitored systems on the boat).

I have a 2003 410 DA with 3126TA Cats. The Systems Monitor was not functioning at all when I purchased the boat a few months ago. After researching here and other places, I was able to get the system back to partial functionality. While the repair/troubleshooting process appears to have restored the engine alarms (oil pressure, etc...) the display is still blank.

We tested alarm sounding and shutoff by running the engines in the slip. Replaced the bad portion of the coax connector that was corroded and also fixed a bad ground connection under the dash. VOILA! Engine oil pressure alarm sounds for both engines upon ignition-on and silences when the oil pressure normalizes after startup. That's a good outcome, however, does anyone know if there is finally a replacement system available from Sea Ray or other source to get this system back to full functionality. We have not yet run the boat in open water after this repair, so I really don't know if this "repair" is really successful.

Finding a suitable replacement for the system is clearly the better option... Anybody out there found a good replacement option?

Were you able to find an answer on a replacement device or answer? I have the same problem

Bill, on my 400 it is behind the power panel next to the couch, The panel is hinged, remove two longer screws from the left side of the panel and it will open to the right. Interface module is mounted in the back on the right of the two galvanic isolators.

SR495, your interface module is most likely on the forward bulkhead in the ER. (I am guessing, as that is where it was on my 360, maybe a 340 owner could verify)

My systems monitor has stopped working entirely. It used to show me when the bilge pumps engaged but nothing else. Now nothing. Does the interface module have any fuses that might have blown??
I have checked the ground wires and the coax cable on the monitor to no avail.
Presently on the hard but any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
You'd think that some type of suitable substitute would've come available by now. There has to be a ton of these devices that have failed at this point. Do you think people are just ignoring them when they break?

No fuses that I know of. Breaker is on the Port battery switch panel in the aft port side locker in the cockpit. Mine always seemed to act up late in the season when temperatures started to fall. I gave up worrying about mine a couple of years ago, shortly after that it started working again and I have had no problems since, but we had the boat in Florida last winter.
Maybe my boat is trying to tell me something :)

Thanks for the reply. I checked those breakers in the port side locker but they were all set to on.
Maybe I should head down to Florida and resolve my problem.:D Sounds like a plan.
Having a terrible winter up here. Looking forward to an early spring.
 
Ok I did find the BIM .. Anyone looking for it on the 38... Its behind the plastic cover in the engine room to the left of the circuit breakers on the FWD bulkhead.. The dealer has them $600+ and $900+ for the monitor
 
I have a similar problem on my 2005 390 MY, panel appears to work, but no alarms.
 
If the monitor is working and there are no issues, you will not get any audible alarms.
