Hi guys, my depth finder started doing funny things and I think I may have to replace it soon. Any chance someone here has a part number for it? I think it's IDST800-N0183 but I can't find it...
Hey Larry, I left a message for you a few days ago to ask you about this directly! Pretty cool to see you on here.
My original symptoms was the boat working fine when Perfect Pass turned off but...
When the engine is running you'll always have the voltage you need to power the gauges unless the alternator is going out but that won't have anything to do with the overheating because the water...
So I've been having a pretty tough time getting Perfect Pass to work on my boat since the day I bought it with ~700 hours on it. A while ago I heard that our boats should have an ALDL jumper on a 6...
Interesting because that's been one of the biggest headaches about this boat! I've sanded my ass off trying to get the color even in areas because, like you said, it would look blotchy. You can...
I just searched that stuff and it looks like a mess. Way too easy to be good for gelcoat. You think that's why it looks oxidized in parts? I ask because I've never heard of that stuff before let...
The process for compounding that I use for hand sanding is 600 - 800 - 1000 - 2000 if I can but with the DA I'll start at 800 or 1000 depending on the surface using soapy water. The water is usually...
Usually 600 since it looked like the top layer of gel was oxidized but sometimes it'll be 1000 if it's on a DA and the surface looks clean
Only relevant picture in this one is the 4th where you can see, from a previous repair, the part where it was ground down into the white, filled with black and brought back up to the...
I finally found the pictures that do a better job of showing the white streaks I was talking about. Before I finish I always sand up to 2000 grit before buffing as you guys seem to understand why,...
Hey Doc, here's some pictures. It's 17983 17984 17985
It's pretty frustrating since the more you sand the more white it brings to the surface and even after buffing it stays white. Some of the...
I have a black 08 24ssv and anytime I try to sand it to smooth out a rock chip or a scratch the gelcoat sands through, turns white and won't buff out as if the boat was molded with white gel and then...
Not 100% positive about all PP models but the ones I'm familiar with will beep to let you know to back off the throttle so that because that's how PP takes over. Unfortunately I think your boat was...
Well, the good news is that I've seen these problems so you're not the only one to experience these problems! The bad news though...I have no idea what's wrong... However I can tell you they call it...
So, just out of curiosity, does it surge when you're idling in gear and then hit the throttle with PP on? If PP is off does it surge when you hit the throttle?
If it's just inconsistent you'll want to look for bad connections. Good news is that isn't affecting the PP, which is a plus
Is your boat Drive By Wire or is the throttle cable driven?
Mine is an 08 and every so often a fuse pops every so often and results in the gauge not working and the plate not moving. My fuse box is under the dash, not sure where yours is, but it's one of the...
Hey, I was wondering if with the EFI engines, to test the compression, you can take it out of gear and put the throttle in the WOT position. Most cars this disables the fuel injectors and spark...
Probably try the Acme 537 prop. Doesn't sound like power is an issue so spinning a prop slightly larger pitch than recommended to the guys with those puny 350's shouldn't be a problem. Wakemakers...
Sounds like mold/mildew. It can be tricky to get out because certain strains will act certain ways to certain things but generally what works well for me is using vinegar. Use distilled vinegar,...
Actually haven't purchased it yet...it's getting pretty cold in Michigan so kinda forgot about that in favor of doing A LOT gel coat repairs. Bought the boat from a shoddy dealer 8 hours away and...
Got the rudder out on Friday last week and dropped it off at a propeller repair company who was able to weld it. The crack was not a result of hitting something but actually a result...
Yikes, would you be able to feel a bent shaft when turning? The rudder has zero play in it whether it's up/down or side to side, even with the shaft arm off. It did not look this difficult...
Hey guys, any of you ever removed a rudder from one of the newer model boats? Just discovered the other day that the rudder is cracked on my 08 so it needs to be removed, but it won't come out of...
