Tried to start my Starboard engine. Key On there were no lights on the display panel. Specifically I look for “Wait to Start”. Digital display turns on after system checks and says “all systems ok” even though no data is on the screen, then changes to “Data Link Inactive. The analog gauges for voltage indicate 13.5 volts and Fuel is 3/4. Oil and Temp gauges are constantly moving. Engine will crank strong but not start.
I’m Leaning toward a broken wire or dirty connector at this point but not sure where to start. Any thoughts out there?

does anyone have the part number for the sea water pump impellar

Hello everyone! We have started the installation of our solar system. We are using Renogy 590w bifacial (740w) panels connected to 48v solar charger 3500w inverter with 48v 105ah lifepo4 batteries. The frame will be installed this week and panels installed Saturday I hope. The wiring will be done later next month. Does anyone know if the radar arch has a direct path to the engine room? Or do I have to go through the helm seat pedestal to get to the engineroom?

thx,
Dale and Sheila

I have a Northstar 6000i GPS that was originally mounted on my dashboard. I no longer use it as it is so outdated. I see that it has a video input and was thinking that it would make a great back up screen. Does any know if there is a video camera availible that is compatible with this unit?
This is from the maual:
The Northstar 6000i can display video
signals from a variety of sources. TV
cameras, videotape, and DVD players all
can display their images on the 6000i’s
screen as long as the signals conform to
NTSC or PAL standards.

If anyone is interested how to do the for $3.50 per light let me know.
I am not a seller.
I will just share. See attached

Hello everyone, hope all is good!

Well, it happen! We had an intruder come on our boat last Sunday 5:30am, caught it on camera. Filed a police report.

Now I want to replace the door handles with locking ones. Anyone have any suggestions or have done it? Found some that might work from boat outfitters but figured I would ask here first

Here is my current set up

Thanks all
Kuya!

I have a 1991 3608 aft cabin and for winter it is stored indoors in a heated building. Can I leave my freshwater tank full or is it a best practice to empty prior to storage? Thanks.

Looking at purchasing a 2002 406. The 6BTA 5.9 370s have 1300 hours and the Kohler generator has just over 800. About the only wart I could find on our walkthrough was a soft spot on the swim platform. Seems an easy enough fix by drilling a few holes, letting it dry out, and filling with hardener.

The engine room was spotless, not a sign of a leak anywhere. Any known issues we should be aware of, other things to look for?

Hi Fellas,
For the life of me, I cannot get my 5kw gas generator to stop hunting. I’ve contacted Westerbeke and they sent me a troubleshooting guide for the electronic governor, but I can’t even get the generator to stop hunting long enough to test the voltage at the connections that they describe in the guide.
I’m wondering if the electronic governor has bit the dust. The generator only has 880 hours run time on it, but it is over 30 years old. I’ve got the gain as low as it will go, but it still will not run without hunting enough to even switch the power over on the inverter to charge the batteries or power the boat.
I’ve tried adjusting the engine speed with the electronic governor speed control, as well as adjusting the mechanical adjustment, but the only way that I can get the generator to stop hunting is adjusting the speed so fast that the generator shuts itself down because the revs are too high.
The guide says to check the magnetic pick-up for 0.030 clearance from the ring gear, but there’s no way that I can check the MPU position without taking the generator apart.
I guess that I’ll have to call an expert and have him try and figure out what’s going on, $$$$.
Thanks for any advice with this problem.
