Most of my gauges are all over the place on my glastron, for example when at wot my tach is pinned and a few others are jumping around. Is this a ground issue?

looking to buy a humminbird 385 ci ( new to me ) its brand new in box with duel beam transducer , how do they work , i looked on line at prices i think it' s a good deal price wise . ty

So I popped the breaker panel out to check if a galvanic isolator was installed OEM, and from what I can tell, there isn't anything back there. However, the wiring harness is wrapped tight and its hard to get the panel far out enough to tell.

Question being: If I installed one anyway, and there happens to be an existing galvanic isolator from the factory, will it cause any issues?

I have an extra Alpine amp but it isn't specifically rated for marine use, could I safely use it in my boat if I were to mount it where it wouldn't be splashed with water or would the humidity and water vapor be too much for it?

Thanks.

I have a new to me 1993 Cobalt 206. It has a Lowrance series 3000 #3200 computer sonar. I've tried Lowrance, googled every way i can think of to get a manual for this old thing & "NOTHING". Hoping someone out there used one in the past or maybe still has an operating one that wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge of how to operate. Maybe someone even has a manual they'd copy and send to me. Thanks

I have a Samson razor Wake Board Tower and the 720 quick release cans with some JBL Speakers installed in them. Has anyone ever took the speakers out that were installed and put new ones in? Just wondering if it is possible to do or if the speakers installed are permanatly in there? Im sure thats not the case since Samson isnt a JBL partner. Any help would be appreciated!

I want to replace my stock JBL speakers in my 2005 Maxum SR3 with something better. Was curious if anyone knew what size they were off hand? I appreciate it!

Hello Everyone,

Here’s the series of events. We launched our boat for the season last Saturday with about an 1/8 tank of gas (no problems). Stopped and got $100 in fuel at the marina and headed out the channel (no problems).

As soon as we cleared the channel on a heading for South Bass Island I hit the trim and the boat just stopped died. I switched from battery one to two and it started back up and we were under way again however, the tachometer is not working and the gas gauge needle is jumping sharply from empty to full back to empty then to a quarter and so forth.

Here’s what I know and don’t know. When I left the marina the gas gauge worked fine before and after refueling. What I don’t know is if the tach gauge was working. At no wake speed it would not have registered much if anything.

Additionally, the marina had just installed two new batteries sometime before launching. The next day I idled the boat for an hour to recharge battery one which it failed to do. Bad battery?

Also the next day the gas gauge is not jumping nearly as much but it is still jumping and I believe showing and inaccurate gas level of slightly less than ¼ tank of gas when it should be closer to ½ tank.

I double checked all the circuit breakers and none where tripped. I got under the helm to check for corroded leads on the tach meter but didn’t see anything. I am not sure if the tach has a separate in-line fuse.

If anyone has any ideas as to what happened or what’s going on it would be greatly appreciated!

Why would my spot light suddenly turn on in the middle of the night. I have it hooked to a three way switch to make it go from side to side and a separate toggle to turn the light on and off. Works fine but looked out the other night and my backyard was lit up. There is one power wire running both and one ground wire hooked to both.

My first boat, bought yesterday. 1986 sea ray 340 express cruiser. I am as new to boating as it gets but eager to learn. I am pretty handy, I just dont have the knowledge to fix anything yet. The stereo will not turn on as of yesterday, I assume its a fuse? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The other day I noticed my stern all-around light wasn't working and sure enough found the ground wire had just corroded to the point of falling of the base. So bad I am just ordering a new base. However, I also noticed my radio and depthfinder were not working as well. Please tell me that the broken circuit (disconnected wire) is causing the other issues. I have ordered a new base and hopefully when I rewire it, not only will it be fixed but my radio and depth finder will also work.

I was just docking in my Bentley pontoon with navigation lights, docking lights, and interior lights all working. I went to turn off docking lights and lost power to all lights. Even the power to the radio has been lost. Is there a fuse panel on the 2006 Bentley 200 Cruise I can check for a blown fuse. I can not find a fuse Panel. There are four reset buttons on the accessory panel but nothing seems to happen or reset when I push them. Any help on how to troubleshoot this problem is appreciated. We did have a heavy rainstorm last night so something may have gotten damp.

The trim button on my throttle lever works intermittently for both up and down. Its FINE works 100% if I use the switch on the cowling.

Sounds like I have a wiring issue somewhere along the lines?

Where should I start? Does anyone have any diagrams or insight on the harness or any plugs that the tillt/trim are connected to from the throttle lever?

Have a 2012 Sea-Doo 210 challenger with perko incandescent lights. The bulbs are festoon style 1044 and measure 1 and 1/8 in. I would like to replace them with blue leds. The problem is I can not find any of the same length. 1 1/8 is approx. 28.5 mm and all I can find is 31 mm. It seems as if the perko fixtures are a proprietary size. Does anyone know where to get such replacement bulbs for the perko fixtures. Also I have a perko anchor light that is a 360 wedge bulb. I found a bulb that I think will work. Basically any wedge style........?
Does anyone know where I can get or if perko actually makes replacement LED bulbs and if the festoons area special size.

festoon fixture- PERKO Inc. - Lighting Fixtures - Incandescent Light with Snap on Front Cover

wedge fixture- PERKO Inc. - Navigation Lights - Folding Mount Tower/Arch White All-Round Light

wedge I think Will work- 194 LED Bulb - 15 SMD LED Wedge Base Tower | Miniature Wedge Base LEDs | LED Car Bulbs | Super Bright LEDs

Just ordered a new Hummingbird fish finder that i'm going to be using on my 14' aluminum boat with a 6 hp Evinrude outboard on it. My question is, where on the transom is the best place to mount the transducer. I've read centered and I've read a foot to starboard from center. I'm going to be adhering a piece of King Starboard first so i don't have to drill the transom, then screw the transducer to it. Thanks in advance for the help.
