Has anyone had an issue that while my running lights are on, not any of the labels on all of my dash switches are lit. I don't have them dimmed, so that's not it. Is there a fuse associated with the entire bank of switches? The boat is 3 years old, and I can't remember if they've ever...

This is a pic of what I found when checking out my props recently. I had the props cleaned up and balanced, and they look better than new, and I looked at the Pod and saw this Mercathode failure damage. I have new anodes installed every spring, so what your seeing happened over last season. The...

all I can say after my first visit to the area is...You Lucky , Lucky Canadians. Traveled with my good buddy to Midland, to look at and purchase fo him, an 09 44 Sundancer w/Zues and during the survey got a ride out in the bay, then had the chance today to run the car up to Port Severn and...

I have the QSB480HO's in my 12' 470 Sundancer. When I put my ignition into ready to start mode (keys in the run position) there is a noise which I think may be the fuel pumps priming prior to starting the engines. My starboard side runs for maybe 15 seconds longer that the port side and I was...

we are just past the first year on the 470DA, and have the opportunity to purchase an extended warranty (insurance policy basically) that will cover the Cummins QSB480HO's and Zues Pods for another 5 years. Figuring 100 hours per year use, and what we have been told are pretty solid engines, vs...

just looking for a little feedback as to what would cause my starboard engine to run 60 to 80 rpm less than my port which is running about 3440 at WOT which is where it is supposed to. I have 103 hours on the engines, and also that same engine when first turning on my keys to activate the...

So I'm watching my buddy unleash his entire length (200') of chain on the dock the other day, and marking his chain every 25' so he knows how much he lets out at any point. I was just thinking there out to be some kind of electronic solution for that. My 470 monitors about everything else, and...

the water ...dropped the Stressless in today on a pretty nice sunny 60 degree SW Ohio day. The River was pretty clean and the current not bad. A little breezy pulling into the slip, but with Zues...nuttin but a thing..lol...so the season starts, and none too soon for me. Kudo's to Washington...

a buddy of mine bought a 98 450DA recently, the only thing missing is the wood door that you open to expose the refridge/freezer in the galley. He has the light wood interior....if anyone has any suggestion as to how he can get a matching one, it would really be appreciated as he ahs exhausted...

I check ed the coolant levels in my overflow boxes on my QSB480HOs the other day and while both had very little coolant in them, the port engine coolant was dark in color (about a half inch in the box). I had added a little a month or so ago, (50/50 merc brand - dlr said same as cummins coolant-...

Hello- I'm looking for any help that I can get regarding the gauges for both of the above mentioned items. I recently sold my 2001 380DA and these two gauges are not reading properly. I figure it is probably the sending units for each, and was trying to figure out what's involved in replacing...
