The solenoid is not recieving power from the control box, we bypassed the control box and it works fine. It could potentially be one of the saftey devices, but the engine runs fine.

My genset shut itself down and would not start back up. It turns over but would not fire. We checked fuel system and found out that the*fuel shut off solenoid was not enganging, so we removed it and tested it and found it worked, so the problem must be electrical? Removed the relays in the...

Ok guys, Sorry if I seem like a lawbreaking rebel. Now that I do have your input I will go ahead and register online. Can anyone give me the correct site or sites to do so and current pricing? Thanks for all your help. Chuck(and others) I understand completely where your coming from. I was on...

Keith, I guess I look more on the bright side of things and its too bad your such a pessimist. Again, do you know anyone personally that has been fined, had their boat seized, and thrown in jail?

I guess what I meant when I started this thread is what I really need and what I can get away with by non compliance to all the licensing and hoops to jump through in order to communicate with someone freely over the airwaves. I'll be leaving in 6 weeks and will not be returning anytime soon to...

I just installed a ssb on my vessel and am leaving for Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and on to the Virgin Islands. My question is, Can I get away without going through the process of getting a call sign and license to use the radio for infrequent communications and to become a...

Chuck, Regarding the reverse polarity lights on the panel when I switch off the fridge breaker and the cabin outlet breaker the red light goes out. All other 110 breaker switches can remain on with no reverse polarity.

Chuck, The red lights are bright on the blue seas panel. I'll go to their site and see if I can get any more info

Gentlemen, Thank you for all your replies. I will answer some of your questions and give some new info that may help track the problem down. I'm still hoping the inverter is ok because it functions properly when genset is off and it will run ALL the 110 appliances and outlets when it is on...

Chuck, Thanks for the info. A new avenue to explore. So are you saying if thats the case the switch needs to be replaced or can it be reset? A lot of this is new to me. I do have the Heart Interface 2500 manual which hopefully will help and show me the settings . Have had this system working...

Phil, Forgot to answer 2nd part of your question. When genset is running I can run the AC water heater and the airconditioning. I cannot get power to my outlets nor run my 110 refrigeration, As*stated when generator is off all AC systems work properly with inverter on. As suggested it could be...

Just purchased an ICOM 700 pro and AT-130 tuner with a 23 ft antenna. Next is installation and grounding. After asking and googling around concerning the various grounding techniques I've received numerous suggestions such as lining the whole boat in foil, painting the boat with 13 1/2 coats of...

Sorry Phil, Bad punctuation I guess. My switch choices are as follows: Generator Shore 1 Shore2 Transfer for a total of 4

Vessel is moored so shore switch is never on until seldomly docked. My main switch is Gen/Shore 1/ Shore 2/and Transfer. I have another panel switch that turns inverter on and off. Have tried all combinations and spent 5 hours trying to track short, missing ground, broken wire, etc all to no...

No sir. Switch is on generator. I still feel wire is loose or disconnected somewhere. Will check breakers for power and trace wires back from there even though breakers all work with gen off and inverter on I don't know where else to begin after doing a complete visual inspection

When running the genset and charger/inverter all systems function normally. But when I attempt to get AC power to the fridge/outlets,etc. nothing happens. When genset is shut down and inverter left on all AC appliances and outlets function. Something that may be related is that when I turn on AC...

Bingo, It was the discharge line that caused the problem. I installed a new Y-valve a couple weeks ago and in the process must have dislodged some of the calcification in the hose. Omitted it as a suspect because I just replaced it 16 months ago.

The bowl had water in it and still would not function. It's a centrifugal pump as opposed to a rubber impellor and had to order retrofit with impellor. I've run out of anything else to look for.

I am having problems with my Jabsco electric marine toilet flushing. When I push the flush button the water only swirls a bit and the level does not decrease. The pump sounds fine, and the power to the pump is not low. Does not seem to prime. Before purchasing a new $200 Quiet flush pump I'd...

I am currently insured through Boat US and* coverage takes me through the Turks and Caicos. Can anyone recommended an insurer that will cover my vessel through the Caribbean without having to sell one of my engines to pay for it? Also, if any members feel there is a better policy to be had while...
