For about 5 weeks sc5000 alarms going off when idling out of slip. Then twice the starboard side engine shut down when idling when SC alarms.
The alarm sounded in the same spot out of slip/dock each time.
So....last memorial weekend we went out late before fireworks show, stopped ate and idled out to fireworks....that's when it really started acting up.
We were idling the entire distance (4 m). Alarm blasting, engine shut down AND now we noticed, only because it was night, the dash lights all flickered out and back on...hummm
Somehow we got back to dock. Our mechanic ckd boat over and says it is not our IAC(idle air control) valve or batterys. However, He wants us to replace the SmartCraft5000...(ugh) because it is not showing repair codes. (Not quite sure how he tested the IACs )
So, We still think it's worth our time to replace the IAC ($150) valve and may go down to lake this weekend. The lights flickering on dash have us confused. Not reading anywhere the IAC causes this.
Anyone have issues like this or can give us a direction to go in....this happens only in idle speed.
