    Mercury SmartCraft connect gateway new install questions

    The SysLink gauges do not feed back data to the master gauge. The system could care less if they are working or not. So disconnecting will doubtfully realize any changes. quite possibly there is a conflict between the VV mobile and the master gauge. I would try disconnecting the VV mobile...

    1999 454 Mag MPI just quits - videos

    I should fault and an error should display. The ecm will see 0 volts which is below the minimum acceptable.

    1999 454 Mag MPI just quits - videos

    It almost sounds like the IAC is running out of head room. There is a setup for the IAC's - you'll need your scan tool. You want the IAC valve to be between 20 and 35 percent at a stable idle. Some like less. So with the scan tool and the engine at operating temperature adjust the throttle...

    Mercury SmartCraft connect gateway new install questions

    First - is the alarm coming from Vessel View? If so you probably need to set up the alarm limits. There are a host of settings from; water depth, to anchor drag, to XTE, to high and low voltage, etc. You can even turn it off as one setting but not recommended. The second thing the gauges are...

    Moving from Polycarbonate to Strataglass

    One thing about the polycarbonate - it is glued/bonded to the canvas surround and zippers. Not stitched for the most part. I have heard of some stitching but the manuf warrantee is void. So that says the canvas component is a one time use. I'm on round two going on round three using the same...

    Portable battery bank - Are they becoming a real option now

    MIssing is the information on the source of the electrical energy. Sure you can have a massive bank of batteries and large inverter or two, but, where does the energy come from to be stored? Solar panels? Let's look at a typical 320 watt solar panel on a boat. Because of the limitations on how...

    EV Highfield….. we are doomed

    I think they are dipping their toe into the pool. The water is too cold to get in though. There for a while I saw a lot of those Torqeedo electric motors on dinghys but now never see them. We need another level in electrical energy storage density to make any of this really viable. In the...

    Tie downs for Dinghy

    I do the same thing. I slide the dinghy back and connect the aft lanyards then slide it forward and pull it tight with the forward strap. It's challenging to get around the back so it makes it easier to simply connect to the aft dinghy tiedown loops.

    Official 19SPX/21SPX/SPX190/SPX210 Thread

    Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I looked up the boat also and the NADA splits IO from outboards and the outboards are significantly higher in value - top end for a 22 model (advertised price) is around $69k and low $52K for the outboard engined boats. My friend definitely asked the owner who...

    Hull cracked and water dripping

    Where is the crack? Along a stringer by chance? Or through an area that can't easily be accessed?

    Interesting - for the anodes to work they must have electrical conductivity to the things they are threaded into. Isn't a typical thread sealant, especially with PTFE going to tend to electrically isolate?

    There's a difference between being constructive and lobbing a shot over the bow.

    Official 19SPX/21SPX/SPX190/SPX210 Thread

    Hey folks - A friend of mine is about to pull the trigger on a 22 SPX210 with a 200 on it. The owner wants $56K for it. It seems pretty well optioned with a bimini and good trailer. No ski pole though. The boat has less than 150 hours and still several years on warrantee that my friend says...
