    How to best deal with a run away boat?

    I was considering the Fell Marine Fob, but unless I am wrong it only works if you fall into the water or hit a button. Once, I was knocked over by a large wave but stayed on the boat. Luckily I had a passenger onboard who I told to grab the wheel. But if I was knocked unconscious or had...

    Refrigerators not Working

    I finally got both refrigerators working. After installing new Danfoss Secop 101N0510 controllers, they both started woking immediately. Installing the controllers was pretty simple. Before installing the new controllers, they both would run on battery power but the 120v AC had to be off. Now...

    Inboard Sterndrive Maintenance in Tampa/St Pete

    I posted my request to have someone with local knowledge reply. Doing a website of Mercuiser repair in Tampa Bay/St Petersburg will produce a list that is not all that helpful to me. To service my boat, it has to be a yard that can haul out a 35-foot boat. There are many shops here that do not...

    I may have misspoke about the "plug having no power." I will check again when I get back on the boat later this week and post an update.

    Refrigerators not Working

    Researching the internet and on other forums, there is a lot of chatter about these controllers failing with the reason given the refrigerator compressor will run on DC but not on AC. The Danfoss controller 101N0500 as been updated several times. I was able to source the newer Danfoss Secop...

    Refrigerators not Working

    Yes, I agree it is odd that both went out the same time. I did measure 120V coming into the controller by removing the L and N wires at the top of the controller.

    It read with the multimeter 122.1V and when I ran a heat gun on the same outlet it dropped to 116V.

    Refrigerators not Working

    The cockpit refrigerator is a Dometic CRX-1050 and the cabin refrigerator is a CRX-1080. Both units use a Danfoss 101N0500`controller. I confirmed that both units will work on battery power if the 110 AC cord is disconnected. When the AC cord in is connected, both units will stop and run...

    Refrigerators not Working

    I didn't want pull out the cockpit refrigerator because it was it is lot harder to get back in. Not sure if I pull it out that I will be able to diagnose and fix anything. I was thinking of connecting the cabin refrigerator to an extension cord connected to a 110v outlet outside of the boat to...

    Refrigerators not Working

    Checked the boat this afternoon. Disconnected the batteries and checked each one with a multimeter, each read 12.8 - 12.9. I get 10.8V from the VesselView display on the dash. Not sure what to make of the difference, but it appears that the batteries are okay. The GFCI in the head does not...

    Heat and humidity will kill a battery. My boat is stored at my dock in Tampa Bay in a salt air environment. We have temperatures above 85 degrees with very high humidity 7-8 months a year; in summer months the temperatures is 90 degrees or higher. Boat is sitting the sun all year; I don't...

    Wow - I am amazed with the knowledge here. I am going to try some simple things that I can know that I can handle. I did check all other electrical accessories, stove, microwave, etc. Everything but the refrigerators works. I do plan to replace the batteries this weekend. I will also check...

    Refrigerators not Working

    There could have been a long power outage that caused the refrigerator to automatically switch from shore power to battery power; in the process draining the batteries which would also cause the refrigerators to go into protection mode. What I understand that the refrigerators must sense that...

    Refrigerators not Working

    This is what I think the problem may that the resting charge of my both my battery banks is only 10.8V. It could have been even lower but I started the boat while it was connected to shore power and let the engines run for awhile. It is my understanding that a resting battery charge should be...

    Not Correct - The refrigerator on my 2011 350 Sundancer are 12/24 DC, not 110/240 AC. The Dometic manual for the CRX refrigerators that are installed, clearly state that these refrigerators must be connected 12 V or a 24 V DC voltage supply and can operate on AC current when a rectifier is...

    Refrigerators not Working

    The Dometic refrigerators operates on 12v DC or 24v DC. It uses a rectifier to convert from 100 – 240v to either 12 or 24 v DC. The rectifier senses when it is connected to shore power and rectifier automatically switches from battery to shore power. Since it is both refrigerators not working...
