We need more information as to what is actually driving your transducers. Do you have a separate black box to drive your through hull transducer? What type MFD is driving your GT 56? Many MFD‘s such as the 1243XSV, will not drive two transducers simultaneously. If your MFD has only one...

I am extremely happy with the performance and reliability of my Lewmar pro fish 1000. It is very important to have the proper size gypsy, chain, and rode. I prefer 8 plait rode as it lays much better in the anchor locker.

Go to the sternmate .com website for a lot of good mounting advice. Ideally I believe the transducer should be parallel with the sea bottom depending on the angle of the boat but placing a straight edge along the bottom of the hull with a transducer 3/8” below that straight edge should be close...

I’d sell your F225s while they are running well, take videos, offer test runs and get YDIS readouts. They are valuable to the right buyer. Keep your controls if price sensitive and repower with new F250s. I sold 1200 hour F250s running great and repowered with F300. Market is not what it was...

Try going to your warning manager and reset the warning message. You can find it in your Garmin owners manual. You will get all your engine warnings through that system as well.

I think it’s the nature of the beast! Haven’t found a solution either. Vintage fishing boats used a spanker sail aft to prevent that.

Go online and get the installation manual for the type of command link gauge that you have. There are several types. They are readily available!

I forgot about the accumulator. The newer pumps do not require an accumulator. Even with an accumulator the main water tank is not pressurized and accumulator is on the pressure side of the system.

Pressing both switches is fine! That is exactly what occurs when the tabs auto retract.

The tank is never pressurized. The tank provides gravity flow only to the inlet of the water pump. There is typically a screen type filter between the tank and the water pump to accumulate debris if any. Another thing is if you were able to hold back the pressure with your thumb or finger then...

Theoretically, you could lose water via the unpressurized side upstream from the pump if the pump allowed water to gravity flow through the pump to the pressure outside. To check which side leaks fill your tank make sure your pump is energized and wait a few hours and see if it cycles. You...

The Sat radio and fusion amp connect via a NMEA2000 network. The radar connects directly to the 1243. Of course the transducer connects directly as well. Your Nema 2000 net work requires a separate power source to power that network and plugs into the Nema 2000 outlet on the 1243. All of the...

Check out the manual that I attached. It appears to me that is a simple motor that runs either clockwise or counterclockwise most have some sort of pistons or impellers that pump the fluid and direction depending on the rotation direction. If the motor is running and not just humming when it...

If the pump produces pressure for starboard steer, it is not seized. It either reverses polarity to pump in the opposite direction or there is a electrically controlled valve that ports fluid in the desired direction as directed by the course computer. Your course computer tells it which way...

When I had F250s on my 330, I’ve since upgraded to 300s, I had the three bladed original props and got numbers very similar to what you are getting with your four blades. My guess is three blades will not make much difference. My three blade props were 17 pitch, don’t recall exactly the diameter...

You have an outdated hydraulic steering system with which I am not very familiar. The reservoir for the fluid is typically in the helm and added via a small plug near or under the helm itself. You’re single cylinder hydraulic ram move the motors back-and-forth and is not getting any pressure...

You most likely have hydraulic steering and have lost all of your hydraulic fluid. You can Google how to service it and bleed the system after adding fluid.

Bilge pumps should be wired directly to the battery through the float switch to be automatic regardless of battery switch or helm switch position. Most Grady-White bilge pumps are automatic with a float so the helm switch simply provides a manual ability to turn the bilge pump on regardless of...

Your VST tank and LP pump are both on the port side of the engine behind the intake plenum , along with the LP filter.

The command link bus most likely gets its power from the forward multi hub. Only one hub requires power to supply the entire bus.
