- Mercury 496 Mag Bravo III
Took the 2007 SLX 250 with 496 Mag to the dealer to trouble shoot a single SmartCraft beep that will either give a momentary bump in RPMs while at idle, or a momentary engine cut while running around the lake. No codes are being thrown by the SmartCraft system, and all engine components are well within normal operating parameters. When the engine cuts for a 1/2 second the Tach switches to the "Trim 0" display from whichever display I am using.... then flips back to the one I had it on. 2 items I should mention, I replaced one of the 2 batteries this spring. I didn't take any specific steps in doing so, simply removed the bad one with a new one. The pitot isn't sending a consistent signal to the guages, so I'm replacing that next week. Neither is suggested by the dealer to have anything to do with this SmartCraft issue, though I'm putting it out there for full disclosure.
It concerns me to take the boat very far from home given it might develop further issues. Any suggestions?? The dealer is stumped at this point......
