    Kicker Amp Dead (sub only)

    So far no more problems with this replacement. Its actually a newer model from Kicker. They dont make the same amp any more. Maybe they fixed the issue. Only time will tell...

    Oil and Temp Warning Lights

    No spare connections. It is a mechanically rigged motor and therefore does not have the CL+ option. The regular CL connector was under the cowling just sitting there with a blank plug on it.

    Oil and Temp Warning Lights

    One more item for those reading this later on... The Bennington Faria gauges do not have oil and overtemp indicators. I found the connector for the Yamaha 'Conventional Gauge' under the helm. The Tach and trim wires were spliced to the gauges and the overtemp and oil indicator wires are not...

    Oil and Temp Warning Lights

    Just an update. Finally got the boat out on the water after getting the Yamaha wired to the simrad. Works great. Ended up using the N2K -- Yamaha gateway and an N2K starter kit like Potomacbassin’ showed in his photos. Biggest PITA was getting the wire from the engine up to the console...

    Enviro Fill Bypass

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HR282N2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Solved all the issues. The nozzle on this one gets past the vent outlet on the envirofill system and allows it to fill just like at the normal gas pump. I will be getting one of those capless tank...

    Master Switch- delayed power

    Hello, Starting to have the same issue with my 2018 23 RSB. I can rapidly cycle the master switch while holding down the horn button and as soon as the horn sounds i leave it on and then no issues the rest of the day. Would like to know a part number on that relay so I can order one before I...

    OUCH: Cost of a December Outing in Low Water - lower rebuild

    I am an engineer and do complex math every day at work. Create complex processes and products all the time. No way would I ever touch the world of taxes. Happy to have professionals do it for me! But engineering paid for my Benny too!!! :-).

    OUCH: Cost of a December Outing in Low Water - lower rebuild

    You got a great deal on the parts! They did not charge you for the gearcase oil :) ... This stinks.. I shredded gears one time getting a wire rope caught in my lower at full speed. Did nto have my Benny at the time, was a Yamaha 150 at 6k RPM... Ended up replacing whole lower from one of the...

    Kicker Amp Dead (sub only)

    I tried that. I have an electrical engineering degree and am very handy. Installed many car/boat stereos in my life. I diagnosed/troubleshooted all of it and determined the amplifier to be bad. ...even went as far as removing the amp and sub from the boat and connected it to a spare...
