Post Cummins 450C No Start (Data Link Inactive)


Tried to start my Starboard engine. Key On there were no lights on the display panel. Specifically I look for “Wait to Start”. Digital display turns on after system checks and says “all systems ok” even though no data is on the screen, then changes to “Data Link Inactive. The analog gauges for voltage indicate 13.5 volts and Fuel is 3/4. Oil and Temp gauges are constantly moving. Engine will crank strong but not start.

I’m Leaning toward a broken wire or dirty connector at this point but n ...

Post 1993 440 aft cabin solar install


Hello everyone! We have started the installation of our solar system. We are using Renogy 590w bifacial (740w) panels connected to 48v solar charger 3500w inverter with 48v 105ah lifepo4 batteries. The frame will be installed this week and panels installed Saturday I hope. The wiring will be done later next month. Does anyone know if the radar arch has a direct path to the engine room? Or do I have to go through the helm seat pedestal to get to the engineroom?

thx,
Dale and Sheila

Post Northstar 6000i


I have a Northstar 6000i GPS that was originally mounted on my dashboard. I no longer use it as it is so outdated. I see that it has a video input and was thinking that it would make a great back up screen. Does any know if there is a video camera availible that is compatible with this unit?

This is from the maual:

The Northstar 6000i can display video

signals from a variety of sources. TV

cameras, videotape, and DVD players all

can display their images on the 6000i’s

screen as long as the signals co ...

Post 2000 Carver 506 - deck door locks/intruder


Hello everyone, hope all is good!

Well, it happen! We had an intruder come on our boat last Sunday 5:30am, caught it on camera. Filed a police report.

Now I want to replace the door handles with locking ones. Anyone have any suggestions or have done it? Found some that might work from boat outfitters but figured I would ask here first

Here is my current set up

Thanks all
Kuya!

Post Freshwater Tank


I have a 1991 3608 aft cabin and for winter it is stored indoors in a heated building. Can I leave my freshwater tank full or is it a best practice to empty prior to storage? Thanks.

Looking at purchasing a 2002 406. The 6BTA 5.9 370s have 1300 hours and the Kohler generator has just over 800. About the only wart I could find on our walkthrough was a soft spot on the swim platform. Seems an easy enough fix by drilling a few holes, letting it dry out, and filling with hardener.

The engine room was spotless, not a sign of a leak anywhere. Any known issues we should be aware of, other things to look for?

Post Westerbeke Generator Problem


Hi Fellas,

For the life of me, I cannot get my 5kw gas generator to stop hunting. I’ve contacted Westerbeke and they sent me a troubleshooting guide for the electronic governor, but I can’t even get the generator to stop hunting long enough to test the voltage at the connections that they describe in the guide.

I’m wondering if the electronic governor has bit the dust. The generator only has 880 hours run time on it, but it is over 30 years old. I’ve got the gain as low as it will go, but it still ...
