Thanks jeff- I understand what it is I just can find it! I pulled the engine and outdrive/transom assembly myself- i did not see it. I remember something on the bottom of the gimbal ring with wires- and I replaced it- I don't recall where they went or any box labeled mercathode as i see on...
Evening and happy new year sir!
I do have a serial number : ow038097. I have had the motor out of this and I'm not familiar with a box that says mercathode on it. I moved that wire to the com post on the battery selector so I dont have the battery draw in storage. Disconnecting the battery would...
I just saw your message, thanks. My electrical is very limited- with no drawings for what wire goes where and know what should be hot and what should be not I checked a different way. I pulled the neg terminal for each battery to test amp draw on the batteries with everything turned off. Bat 1...
Not having taken one apart, there are only a couple of opportunities for hot water/coolant pressurized to take over the faucets. It really makes no sense n se to me- I'll take the coolant hoses off and I'm pretty sure it will stop. If I can still use it on shore and electric I can get by- but...
I guess i have to really look at the water distribution. I don't know where the cold water is going into the tank for one. I have one cold water line and one hot- i have only one faucet that is cold only- I have the swim platform, the head and the galley sink that have both hot and cold. I...
This all sounds good- but- what would be the explanation for why has this now become an issue on a 2006 boat? It would seam that a waterheater would be a pretty simple contraption! Externally, I see only the one valve - possible that valve has failed? I found not see cold water line for water...
Intersting thoughts- if it indeed is leaking coolant into the water system it's not real apparent. Can't really go by the reservoir, unless it was just empty. I popped the engine heat exchanger and it was pressurized and full - so I'm suspicious of diagnostics but don't have another...
Good morning!
I'm reviewing your comments, thank you for posting your thoughts.
The boat is a florida boat so perhaps it was not set up for winter? The boat had 50 hours on it when I bought it. It did come down from the panhandle which can get pretty darn cold- maybe someone has messed with it...
Ok- think this one got figured out. There must be a small leak in the heat exchanger inside the water heater which is pressurizing the system with really hot water- so the water will run, super hot without the pump being turned on. From what I read is not serviceable- but what i read today, the...
Yes, it has been frustrating. As long as I was bringing it home and keeping it charged I managed to get by a bit- the auto parts store was getting pretty tired of seeing me. I should have been disconecting both of the batteries until I got this far- I had various other "priority " items like...
One more thought...is my offending device possibly in a circuit so that if I pulled fuses rather than wires I might track it down and little quicker? I have seen some standards on wire colors used for specific purposes...but not sure that would be conclusive? Trying to follow wiring seems like...
