Thanks. Yes they get very mixed reviews. Connectivity being one issue.

Hi, Does anybody have one installed? If so how do they perform in the dark and how is the connectivity to the MFD? Thanks.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Ok had not thought of that but makes perfect sense.

Thanks for the reply. Yes collecting a sample of the exhaust water was next on our list. Oil quantity stable so hopefully was just finely dissolved air. May have been worth mentioning the coolers were recently removed and cleaned but the engine would have about 5 hours additional running time on...

Started the boat in the pen today. After start I immediately checked for water flow from the exhaust as I normally do, and noticed that for the first 10 seconds it was a milky color. After this time in ran clear. Boat had not been used for about 2 weeks and engine oil, gearbox oil and coolant...

Will do:thumb:

One time when the alarm occurred we idled the engine up to about 1200RPM and the alarm continued to sound for about 10 seconds. Would have thought that would have got the alternator on line straight away. It always goes away so I guess it’s just something we’ll have to live with. Yeah ran my...

If I’ve read the manual correctly, this box should contain the air heater. There are no wires running to it so I’d assume there is no heater fitted. That should rule out the heater as the source of the low voltage alarm.

The previous owner told us to start the starboard engine first which runs off a dedicated cranking battery then start the port engine which runs off 2 house/cranking duel purpose batteries. After discussing the low voltage issue with the mechanic (who also maintained the boat for the previous...

Next time I’m on the boat will have a look to see if they are fitted with air intake heaters. Still scratching my head as to why the voltage at the batteries was reading over 13V while the low volt alarm was going off. :confused:

Thanks to all. I found a reference somewhere else that the heater only operates when the ambient temperature is below 59F. I’ve had the alarm come on briefly when the temperature has exceeded 85F so I’m not sure the heater would be operating. After doing a search online I’ve discovered a lot...

Thanks for the reply BruceK. As for the alternator belt slippage, we have tested the battery’s with a multimeter immediately after start and whilst the alarm is sounding. The multimeter was indicating 13V and 8amps flowing into the battery which I would have thought would rule out belt...

Hi, First time posting. Have just purchased a fly bridge cruiser with 2 Cummins 6bta’s. This site was invaluable getting everyone’s options on the engines prior to buying the boat. The starboard engine low volt light/alarm sometimes comes on after starting and remains on for up to 20 seconds...
