I have dual outboards and one will flow out the tell-tale normally with the garden hose connected to the flush adapter. The other will not flow out of the tell-tale. It’s not a water pressure issue.

When the engine is running water comes out of the tell-tale normal and as expected. When I shutdown the engine and hook up a garden hose the flush connection, water does not come out of the tell-tale at all. It comes out of the lower unit ports just not the tell tale. I have dual outboards and...

282 sailfish with twin 250's. Starboard engine began sputtering and then stalled after about 1-1/2 hrs of low speed trolling (6-8k rpm). Found ball priming pump not full and took longer time than normal to get it full. Restarted engine fine. Ran at crusing speed for about 20 min and engine...

I located the ID tag and confirmed I have a B774V transducer originally installed on my boat. Looking for anyone with experience with the new B785M (80-135 kHz) chirp transducer, particularly for bottom fishing / wrecks anywhere from 30-350' of water.

I'm continuing to research transducer options and it appears that the B785M xducer chirp (single band, medium frequency: 80-130 kHz) will install in the same hull hole / fairing block where my current traditional dual frequency 50/200 kHz is installed. I can't locate the ID tag on my current...

Where did you mount the GT51M-TH ClearVu/SideVu/CHIRP transducer? My existing B774 50/200 thru-hull on my 282 Sailfish is located on the starboard side of centerline. The deadrise at transom on my boat is 20.5 deg and I'm not sure where to mount the GT51M-TH so that the SideVu will work...

I'm ready to replace the Raymarine C120 (w/ DSM 300 and 50/200kHz thru-hull transducer) on my 2005 282 Sailfish. Has anyone installed the Simrad NSS12 EVO3s on this boat? If so, what transducer(s) did you install? I fish the lower Chesapeake bay and offshore Virginia waters. I'm also...

The tech was saying to separate the batteries that are parallel and line up individual battery charger banks to individual batteries. I didn't like that option since I the house battery would no longer get charged with the engines running, only with shore power from the charger. That's why I...

I'm getting some conflicting info from charger tech support staff. Is it advisable to hook up a 3-bank charger (10amp / bank) with a single charger bank output to each battery when 2 of the batteries are connected in parallel? My OEM install had starboard engine starting battery and house...

That's what I thought regarding battery switches, just looking to get confirmation, Thanks.

I haven't thoroughly reviewed wiring diagrams yet, but can you stick with the dual battery switches (pos 1,2, both, off) when converting to a 3-bank charger with individual battery/bank alignment?

I guess I was thinking the 2 batteries in parallel on one charger bank was somewhat of a one-off setup in the first place...and the 3 bank charger with a battery lined up to each bank is more in line with the charger manufacturer's design intent.

Need to replace the original 2 bank 30 amp charger on my 2005 282 Sailfish - twin 250 Yamaha outboards (3 batteries - 2 starting and 1 house loads - with dual battery selector switches) and looking at the Guest 2731A 10/10/10 amp 3 bank charger. Assuming I'd configure with one bank on each...
