Hi. Was the DC Panel easy to drop down without disrupting any of the connections??

Very easy to remove. Take out a few screws and it will pull away. In the photo I posted above you can see the cabling that was tied together to feed the panel. Getting to things inside is not too bad but almost impossible to work with two hands inside. Once you start working inside just make sure to stay away from AC components and you should be fine.

Newbie here....can someone tell me what the lower right retangular icon with the arrows pointing in is for? I lights up but I cannot figure out what it is for or doing. Thanks.
As stated it is the power switch for the fresh water system on smaller boats. Although it is active. If you have the wiring schematics to your boat, you can trace that switch back through the EIM under the helm. There is actually a breaker in there that will excite when you turn it on. Takes a little investigation with a test light and turning the switch on and off, but there is one in there. You can then locate the wire coming from the EIM and use it for an additional aux power switch. Careful with the amp draw. I used mine for my autopilot power, others have used it for added on LED lighting - works nice.

The radio is above the CD changer but you will have access to the cable harness connector.
The stock radio can easily be removed. The silver tabs on the sides pop off and the screws are behind them. If you remove the 4 screws the radio slides out. It will only come out so far as the cables will allow.

Sorry, I don't have Sirius installed on my boat. I took the easy way out and added a Bluetooth adapter to the radio aux in and stream SXM from my phone.
Do you have the SXM antenna on the boat? Even though the units are Sirius ready they needed the external antenna / receiver.

I do. The puck is mounted on the arch. Everything was installed by the factory/ previous owner. I can’t find the SID number so I am trying to trouble shoot.

I need a measurement is anyone is at their boat. The wife is at the store and want to know the length of the cabin to add a runner on the carpet. From the front of the bed to the steps with most narrow and width if you can. If not, no biggie.
Also the aft berth floor as well.
Thanks in advance all.

On my boat, if you pull out the draw under the electrical cabinet you will see the Sirius box. Maybe try unplugging the connectors and plugging it back in. Sometimes mine is temperamental when reactivating. You might need Sirius to resend the signal to activate.

Anyone ever have this issue. It’s intermittent, some unrest when I’m about to start the boat . I’ll press the start switch forward. Wait for the beep and the gauges to come alive, then press all the way forward to start. Sometimes thought I press the switch the first time and the beep doesn’t happen. I won’t up tapping the starter and then it will beep. Then I actually hold it down long enough to start it. Any ideas?

Clean all of your connections at the starter solenoid would be a good place to start.

You are going to laugh but I had a very similar occurrence and the culprit was a loose wire on the starter. There are two wires that connect to the starter under the little hood and one of mine had come loose. It would intermittently tap the other wire closing the start circuit. Hopefully yours is that simple.
We went as far as taping the starter gently with a hammer to see if there was an issue with the brushes. Anyhow, I called the mechanic out and he finds the wire. So embarrassing. Oh well, lesson learned. He did say the very first thing they learned in Mercrusier school was check the wires.

it will crank every time i just won't hear the beep on the first position of the key every time. where is the starting solenoid located?

it is funny when things give u problems and your mind always goes to worst case scenario when in reality it could be the easiest fix. maybe thats the difference between the boat owner and the boat mechanic lol
