Based on the title of the post, I assumed two engines. In that case, the existing battery arrangement info is needed to make suggestions.

If I understand your loads correctly, you have 3300 watts RMS draw for the stereo alone. That doesn't sound right to me. Your 200 amp LiPo battery at 12 volts has a capacity of 2400 watt hours that will be depleted in just under 45 minutes. Something seems off.

The center of gravity for that hull is 80 inches off of the transom. On your rack, you would want that COG sitting on the bunks with a couple of feet of hull touching on both sides of the bunk. Those spacings are not as critical as might be the case for other boat models since your hull is solid...

I didn't read the post all the way to the bottom:( I now understand what XID technology is. In the warmer months I will check the cable and connector.

I am not sure I will sleep well not knowing how that signal is processed:)

I based my answer on the assumption that the motor is an I4 model. It may be a V6. Also, does the boat have trim tabs? As mentioned, the WOT revs are in range, perhaps a bit low but the slip calculation seems high. With respect to motor trimmed up. The amount of motor trim is not very useful...

The sonar function is OK. I did turn it on on land and the Gramin 8616 displayed the sonar info. The temperature didn't display but I was not able to determine if that is a MFD config issue or a bad temp sensor. Although I believe that the temp had been displaying on the sonar screen along with...

Nice work! The trouble shooting I researched did mention a fuse that should be checked but to be honest, I assumed that if the fuse was bad, the gauge would be black ( not display any data) Learned something new:)

Calculated slip at 5200 revs is a bit over 20% which seems high to me. The typical prop diameter for F200 in-line four is 14 1/2 inch diameter, 17 or 18 pitch

The Airmar B75H transducer should not be turned on when it is not in the water to avoid over heating. My question is : When the transducer is disabled using the Garmin 8616 MFD, the sonar definitely stops but does the temp sensor stop working also. Mine does not send temp data but I was sure it...

Dont know for certain but it might be easier to swap the cables on the back of the guages assuming the cables will reach

If Command Link, the info comes over the CAN bus from the CDI (ECU). The ECU apparently get the signal from the I found this posting about the same issue. the tach send terminal can be checked using the AC meter function and a known good ground. dark green is tach send,yellow is key on 12V...

What type gauges do you have, analog or Command Link

I stopped by the Seakeeper booth at the NY Boat show as well as the Dometic booth to see their new gyro y=system. AsI thought, you can not self install, mainly because there are structural issues to be looked into. The Dometic was interesting having some innovative features, the most interesting...

Dang.. They got be again:)

If you want to display engine info on the Garmin MFD, you will need to add a NMEA200 gateway to to be able to talk to Command Link data. You will also need a NMEA 200 backbone network if you don't already have one

Many of the 6 cyl 2 strokes turn off 2 cylinders at low revs (below about 1100 revs). The motors will run rougher. Rougher does not mean, really slow down and 'cough' or sputter or even stall. Those events are not normal but are common for the reasons I mentioned earlier. There are other...

Spectrum color makes gel paste in Grady colors, For the size of the bottle, it is expensive but is the easiest way to patch and 'match' the gelcoat. Perfect match may not be possible if the are has faded due to the sun over the years but shadded areas may look pretty good

? Are you saying that with the flush port stored in normal operation and with the motor running in the water , there is no telltale flow? That is not normal and needs to be researched. When using the flush port, engine off and a garden hose, no telltale is common. There just isn't enough flow...

The multi piece railings are not as rigid or strong as single. A safer and maybe easier solution might be to install multiple individua; sections of grab rail. ( More fiberglass work though.
