It might be the HPDI motors over a four stroke… dunno

Yes, and they replaced both the hub and fob. I have multiple fob’s and they all do it.

Not really sure how they connect. Fell marine did not offer up anything more than their external antenna. I also read that interference from the motors can cause them to disconnect.

Mine works ok, but I can't trust it when going to the bow as sometimes it will shut down the engines. Even with the external extended antenna option. I have been at the transom fishing before with it in my pocket and it shut down the engines when trolling for some reason. So now, it sits on the...

Surely, that is not the same A&J. The one in Vanceboro NC are still in business. Ironic that they have the exact same name.

When new, they are so nice. I got 12 years out of mine and took best care I could. Hoped they would have lasted longer. Guess the sun just constantly eats on them even though they are under cover for about 5-6 months each year.

Getting my curtains replaced now at A&J. Crazy expensive compared to when they did them back in 2012! I expected to be a bit more, but wow, it is a lot more! Had I realized, should have shopped around some first just so I could sanitize the price.

Any reason why not installing on the front edge of the hardtop? I mounted mine there and it does a great job finding smaller stuff in front, night or day of course. No wedges or mount needed.

Maybe add in the cost estimate to fix with a new block will help the sale.

Hi Dennis, not sure about the OX66's, but for the HPDI's, the only side affect I know of is low idle on cold startup. Usually they should fire up to 600 or 700 rpms once started. They also when started will have a quick short rev up and settle the the 600/700 rpm idle. When O2 is carboned up...

Hi Dennis, I should have mentioned. I use ring free plus and startron religiously. HPDI’s are just notorious for O2 carbon buildup.

Thanks Seasick for the kind words! Definately enjoying the retirement phase! Just for kicks, I pulled the 1 gallon jug of emergency 2 stroke oil out of the cabin. It is one of the last gallons of Pennzoil that I used to use which is Semi synthetic. Not for sure how old it is, but looks like...

Hi Seasick, many posts about the carbon issues over the years. Oil pump linkages are correct. Even saving a lot of oil since I finally got them right. The O2 sensor issue is inherent with 2 strokes overall being a pita. HPDI's especially. I have never used a filter funnel over the years as new...

Timcan, after a lot of trials with oil each season, it seems the yamalube had less carbon buildup in the O2 sensor chamber. But, in the end, still has enough carbon to warrant cleaning every 100 hours or sooner if startup idle starts to suffer. I prefer the Amsoil over all oils due to its...

Thanks for the intel about this. Been boating for over 50 years and never heard of oil going bad like this. Learn something new! Not to mention losing over $300 in the old oil. Amsoil on the way. Might need to pull the floor and clean the remote tanks and change their filters. That will be fun!
