normally the issue is at the motor end. The small lever that is spring loaded and moves when motor is tilted gets sticky or just stops working. Check that first, it is easily accessible when motors are tilted up and you can see it on the side of the point where motor swings just inside frame.

FELLMarine has a system, the one I had. It has its own hub and based on Bluetooth wireless connection to a fob it detects if a fob falls off connection and cuts engines. It is wired from the lanyard kill switch, can replace it or stay in parallel so both works. my question is simply how to wire...

So not hydraulic. If not hydraulic there is an electric ram that tilt the motor up and down. It could be in the screw mechanism that the clicking is, under load. If the trim works but clicks I don't think it is a relay but some mechanical contact or a worn screw, too "loose" between contact...

Clicking can also mean gears clicking. Or if there is a safety catch that would be clicking.... It's not a mechanical trim is it?

I had on my previous twin engine (Yamaha 300s) boat a FELL Marine wireless mob system installed. It was an easy install also still maintaining the original kill switch. I liked the simplicity and it worked well for me. Now I have triples with all electronic controls joystick, steering etc, I...

If you have not been boating before maybe you could join a boat club for an initial period of time before buying your own. It is not cheap but cheaper than servicing your own boat with frequent impeller changes, propeller damage and so on. I think your choice of dual console is smart as it...

I think you do need to check the tongue weight. Extreme case is boat sits so far back the tongue weight is close to zero and can lift the rear of the vehicle in a bump....... too heavy a weight can lift front wheels off the ground........ Also check that axles are loaded about the same, are all...

See all writing in my tank situation. I would though add that it may be you are not using enough fuel for it to react from the point that was set as full when calibrated last. It could have been calibrated for less fuel than full tank to show full. H

I left Boat US after Grieco and rate insanity on a different boat. Current boat with State Farm together with most of the stuff, cars, motorcycles umbrella but not home where hurricane coverage drives rates insane. Also boat is agreed value while not expecting total loss but covered up to a...

Laughing at everybody's mistakes...... I go out on boat one day (kept on rack at marina so launched when I get there) get back later than they retrieve boats. Boats in water over night and I come back in the morning to go out again. Jump on board open the head compartment and wonder why all...

Update; took off ground at battery (2 wires tied together) for fuel And cleaned and put back with checked good contact. CL7 shows full or alternatively just lines. Tank is recognized and shows 88%, so as correct Ab 20G used from full. My assumption now is that the calibration is such that it...

I do agree it was all caused by me removing all batteries in order to get to the last one and check for water level and condition of it. When reconnecting I first ended up with battery 3 minus bus cable getting disconnected upon reinstallation. 2nd when that one was resolved I found out that...

Yamaha is a CL7

1. The tank was full when I reset it. Have used 20G since then which does show up as used in Axiom. 2. Yes it must be a connection issue and I start to suspect the 2 wires that were loose from the house battery (impossible to visually see back there) may be that one should be to + while the...

I seem to have a continuing issue with fuel gauges. First they did not work after removing and putting batteries back. Turned out to be ground wires not connected at battery. Now they only show tank full and does not move as fuel is consumed. I see the flow rates and total used but not showing...

Does anyone know if this is a problem also on newer boats? I have a 2019 335 Freedom with triples and this would be a concern if it is an issue not addressed at all. H

One of the first things to always check is not only the kill switch BUT ALSO THAT IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I don't know how many times I've heard of the motor being in gear and therefore not starting. Mechanic comes in moves the levers / shifters and voila, motor starts. Guess how stupid the owners...

I never had a directional valve on my boats. Just a lock out valve for the macerator for use on lakes and inshore. On my current GW there is only the discharge valve into the sea that is closed except when emptying through macerator. The dockside emptying is just by vacuuming out. Mine does...

I once used some Git Rot on my dinghy transom. It is an epoxy product. I drilled a number of holes and filled them up so the product was supposed to penetrate the rotten areas and set so it all would become solid. It was of course a mini sized transom compared to the one in question and the...
