    Mysterious Water Leak inside Swim Platform

    I have been experiencing a mysterious water leak on the inside of my integrated swim platform. I read in this forum to check the rubrail. I did so and resealed/caulked it. I also added engine hatch sealing to give it a tighter fit. But it seems that sea water is still making it's way inside...

    Engine Misfire Error Code/Alarm

    All, I received this error/alarm this weekend. The engine went into automatic protection mode at this point. The engine runs smoothly and sounds fine to me, but I'm not a trained mechanic. Is this an ignition coil issue? If so, wouldn't the engine sound rough?

    Helm Instruments Powered by Starboard Bank

    Has anyone installed a battery charge meter?

    I recently had batteries go dead on me and was wondering if anyone has ever installed a battery charge meter to see how much charge is remaining. Or is there a good rule of thumb to know how much battery life is left?
