Hi, I've got a 2003 Sea Ray sedan bridge 480 I'm working on. I'm putting in an inverter/charger using the 24VDC bow thruster batteries. In the electrical diagram for this boat, it shows the bow thruster motor case and 24v battery B- connected to the grounding bus (green wires), yet I don't see...
Hi,
My 02 200 HP HPDI had been having some intermittent hesitation issues which got really bad yesterday. Up until yesterday I was able to run up to about 3krpm with no problem, above that the motor began to hesititate once in a while. Yesterday the problem got so bad I couldn't run above 1k so...
I recently replaced my EMM with a new one from BRP (the newer design). Since replacing the unit, the engine is very hard to start when cold. (Prior to the replacement of the EMM, when the old one worked, it started pretty easily 2-3 cranks). I've checked the timing and it appears to be correct...
Ok so I'm on my 3rd try with a repaired EMM. I get it back from DFI and plug it in. I use the diagnostic software to fire coil 1. The motor jumps, apparently from the spark igniting the left over fuel in the cylinder (from when I was cranking with the EMM not working). So I figure all is good...
I'm sick and tired of having to send my EMM out for repair. This is the 4th time for me! I am looking for a working or non-working EMM to reverse engineer and create a schematic for. I will post the results for the benefit of everyone who wants to fix these POS computers themselves. If anyone is...
Hi, I'm looking at 1999 boat with twin 2008 200 ETEC's. I'm looking for suggestions on what to check/look out for with these motors. I currently have a 2000 200HP Ficht (owned it for 7 years) and have been through the EMM issues (3x) and do all my routine maintenance myself, so I'm pretty...
I have a problem with my EMM (see my other post) and would like to get a "spare". I have access to another used unit and I know that I'll need to program the settings from my unit into the new one. My question is, how do I go about doing that? I've got the diagnostic software and I see there's a...
Hi,
Motor has been running well for a while (since fixing ignition coil grounding issue) until last night. While coming off plane, I noticed a slight hesitation around 3k rpm. As I went up and down in throttle over the next few minutes, the hesitation got worse. It felt like the same issue I...
Re: 2000 200 hp FICHT backfires
There's a metal pointer that overhangs the flywheel. There should be a "T" mark on the flywheel that corresponds to TDC for cyc #1. The mark on the flywheel and the pointer should coincide if you're flywheel or pointer has not moved. The picture shows my old...
I have a 200HP 2000 ficht that I try to keep in good shape (regular decarb, always flushing, Startron in the gas) and proper winterization. I run 100% in saltwater during May-November on Long Island Sound primarily fishing (not much slow trolling), mostly running from spot to spot then drift...
Boat has run fine since launch this year. Today after running in from a storm I noticed that rpms suddenly jump from 2600 to 3000 with no change in throttle position. The issue is very repeatable, where I can slowly move the throttle up to around 2500 with no problems, then right as it hits...
Hi,
I've got a 2000 200 HP ficht that I just put in the water for the season. I took the boat for a 1/2 hour shakedown cruise and had no issues running up and down from idle to planing speed multiple times. The problem came when I was docking the boat. As I approached my slip, I normally have...
Hi,
I've got a 2000 200 HP Ficht that the rigging tube won't stay on the gland coming out of the motor and it's letting water into the tube. I've tried pushing the tube back up onto the gland but it won't stay. The hoses and cables want to pull the tube down away from the motor due to their...
So my EMM was found to be bad by DFI and they repaired it. I've installed it and the the engine runs, but won't go above 3500 rpm and feels "rough". I need to set the timing. Can anyone please explain the procedure to set the timing using the EVDiagnostic software?
When I go into the ignition...
