I ordered the chemicals to make the powder for the first time. Does it matter if you mix it all at once or do you have to mix it in small batches as you use it?
My oil guage on the dash is bouncing around while under way. I called the local Cummins dealer and they told me the part number is 3897170 for the oil transducer but is is out of stock and he didn't know when it would be available. Mine has the single wire. Has anyone found a source or a...
My fresh water pump stopped working yesterday. I have a 2004 420 Sundancer. The pump I have is a Shurflo 3.5 GPM that says it supplies 40 PSI. The closest one I see is a Shurflo 4.0 that supplies 55 PSI. Has anyone installed one of these or is that too much pressure for the fresh water system?
I had no idea what a NMEA 2000 backbone was when I did mine either. I contacted BOE marine electronics where I had purchased the Garmin. The NMEA 2000 backbone is a series of connector tees that will allow you to connect older components that are NMEA0183 to your new unit. Emily at BOE was very...
I replaced the Sea Ray Navigator with the Garmin 1243xsv on my boat last fall. I had to install a NEMA2000 backbone into the Garmin and connect the transducer to that. My boat is a 2004 and had an Airmar d17 transducer that I replaced with a DTS800. Search transducer in the electronics Q&A and...
I read that she and her wife are going to work to get all the "wrongfully detained" people free. Kinda like OJ Simpson vowing to find his wife's "real killer".
I have a 2004 420 Sundancer with 6CTAs. Did an end of season oil change and sent samples for analysis as usual. Starboard engine had high fuel in oil, 5%. Previous years it was always .5%. Port engine was at 1%, previously always at .5% also. Boat is now in storage for the winter. Anyone had an...
Update on odor in cockpit issue. I was on the boat last Friday and after a couple of flushes the holding tank light said the tank was full, do not flush. I had the tank pumped out on Saturday. I was in the bilge installing a new transducer Saturday and Sunday and there were no odors at the tank...
The backbone is under the dash at the helm. I had to get an additional NMEA2000 cable to go from there to the engine room because the cable on the transducer wasn't long enough to go all the way to the helm.
It sure is. The trick is to be prepared and stay calm, although it's hard not to panic when you pull the old transducer out and the water starts gushing in. The other key thing, if you are using the old housing is to swap out the yellow o-ring on the new transducer with the black o-ring...
Update on Garmin 1243sxv and transducer. After many attempts at making the P17 transducer work I gave that up and purchased a new DST800 with a NMEA2000 backbone. I switched that out with the boat in the water. The cord provided on the DST800 was not long enough to reach the helm. I needed to...
