    Issues with Microcommander

    I installed the control to operate i with the right hand... but never found any sticker or warning in the packaging nor manual indicating a need of changing some connections. My manual is quite crappy as it has (max) 50 pages.... but as I "inherited" this piece of equipment from a previous owner...

    Issues with Microcommander

    Mine is supposed to work just like yours. My manual is aboard right now, will re-read it (for the 100th time) and see if I find that info troubleshooter. If not I´ll send you a PM! Thanks a lot!

    Issues with Microcommander

    Cant tell you right now. I was so frustrated with what it did not do, that I have forgotten what it actually did. :blush: In a couple of hours I will be going to the boat and let you know. Thank you!

    Issues with Microcommander

    I tried it in reverse, cause it did not work in "forward" as expected.... About the synchronizing feature: This is not a standard feature as you need to have 2 more motherboards (one in each control box) installed and additional wiring + RPM´s sensors on each engine for it to work. Have you...

    Issues with Microcommander

    Well, I did exactly what the manual says... but it only works in "reverse" Checked all the wiring and color codes are as supposed to be:banghead: I have the feeling some of the jumper settings inside the control box may be wrong. Was looking for some "Ctrl - ALt Del" function to reset the box...

    I love it when a plan works..

    I gladly exchange you the sub-zero temps for the heatwave we are experiencing down here in Buenos Aires! Even sitting naked on an ice bar you sweat to death!:) BTW: didn't know that kind of deicers: is it a sort of submersible pump that moves warmer water from the bottom to the surface?

    Anodes on a steel hull

    Hi cpseudonym! Thanks for the formula. According to my first estimations, I´ll sink the boat if I load it with the zincs I calculated :) …. you can bet I made a mistake doing the conversion from metric to imperial:bang head: Tomorrow I´ll have it figured out by someone more experienced than me!

    Anodes on a steel hull

    Hi, looks great! unfortunately the previous owner of my boat must really have neglected it, cause when I bought it most anodes were worn out and corrosion signs around the screws and rudders was quite important. Perhaps placing the same number it had (10 at each side) and checking them once a...
