See if amp is wired directly to the battery.

Gaugesaver was in touch today via email and suggested just adding the anti-glare film I had on order. Great service on a Holiday.

Thank you. I tried to use a polarized film I bought and it did not work. In doing some further research, it appears as if the lens has a polarized backing on it (at least I think it is polarized) and some sort of anti-glare on the front. In doing the polishing, I doubt that backing on the lens...

That's all I wear.

I just found part of the answer but I am in need of a solution. From gaugesaver's website: Lens Polish Only will remove ugly water spots, but also removes the anti-glare coating So, how do I get to add a anti-glare coating?

Ok folks, I need some help. I have the above gauge. It was sent to a reputable outfit to polish the lens. However, after polishing, I can no longer read the gauge in direct sunlight. I suspect the anti-glare film was polished off. I have also asked on another forum but does anyone know what...

The voltage jumped on the starboard engine after having dropped to a low 12Volt reading.

I have just replaced my regulator. The problem seems to be resolved. It was clearly a problem. I'd post a picture but I do not know how to reduce the size of the picture to permit it to be posted.

I have the 285 and love it. However, the 307 does offer the bunk setup in the head. The 285 does not have an overnight option. I wish it did. I have asked about the ability to add cushions to the head to make it the same setup and have not received any positive feedback on that option.

I do have that J1939 connector. Just to be clear, when battery 2 is connected, it gives voltages on both engines. When battery 2 is out of the boat and thus not connected, it doesn't give any voltage reading on either engine.

The readings were taken from the plotter. Starboard battery switch set to number 1 battery while port battery switch set to number 2 battery. To confound matters even more, as you probably know, my Garmin 8612 plotter shows voltages for port engine and starboard engine, obviously not battery one...

I do connect shore power at the dock. As far as crossover, let's talk about the following example. Battery number 1 was reading low while underway. However, when I load tested the batteries it turned out battery 2 needed to be replaced. So, I replaced battery number 2. However, after replacing...

Once again, thanks for the help. I do have both a power assist pump and an autopilot pump. Although the power assist pump is wired directly to battery 2, there must be a sense wire somewhere because that pump only operates when the key is turned on, whether or not the engines are on. So, I am...

Thank you all for sticking with this thread. And, in response to Skunk's last post, since I only have two batteries, it should make no difference, I would think, which switch is connected to which battery. After my test run today, I have concluded that I likely have no problem of any...

The battery panel is labeled port and starboard. The plaque says that the"normal" position is the switch labeled starboard gets turned to position number 1. The port battery switch gets turned to position number 2. Why is that any more normal than if the battery switch labeled starboard gets...
