2005 320 Da smartcraft or sensor issues
Guys - relative newbie and on my ipad on the boat so I hope I have posted right.
I had posted part of these issues later last year but am just getting to the boat right now.
i have a myriad of smartcraft or sensor issues and had a question or two I hope someone can help with.
The symptoms:-
- port prop trim stuck indication at 25, display moves when I actually trim up and down but reverts to 25 after I stop trimming
- starboard fuel tank on both display and analogue gauge stuck at 100%, I have moved and cleaned the float - the float sensor resistance moves from 33 to 260 ohms through travel range and travel seems free when out of the tank.
- sea temp alarm HI at 82 degrees F
- depth on smartcraft bounces all over the place when in motion
i have reset sensors from settings screen but it made no difference. I cannot see any earth issues at the engine.
I know these could all be separate issues but it seems weird that they all appear the same time, the boat is new to me but thse errors wee not present last year ( a friend is PO). It has been sitting idle in water for 8 months and v few hours on it last season.
I have read somewhere online (can't find it now) there is a connector block somewhere for the smartcraft - can anyone help me find that.
are there any other ideas or issues I should explore before I give a kidney to a shop?
I think that the sea temp and the depth readings are picked up by the thru hull depth/sea temp sensor-located on the port side in the ER on the bottom of the bilge-maybe just some growth on the sensor-also I believe the Smart Craft connector block is located on the Starboard engine-not sure on the connector block-should be labeled-let me know what you find out-good boating
