Back in the Fall of 2013 I replaced the original dead generator on this boat with a new one. The installation is documented HERE if you care to read it.
Everything was literally plug-n-play. WB uses the same connectors on their new generators that they did back in 2001 so the harness for the remote starting panel was identical and works flawlessly. The only problem is that I don't get any alarms. For example, that typical Sea Ray squeal (oil pressure low) that you hear when you toggle to the first position on the ignition switch doesn't happen. The generator has never shut down on me but I'll assume that if it did I wouldn't get any audible notification.
Anyone have an idea why this might be so?
