HI all, I hope that someone can help with a problem I have with starting my Cummins QSB 5.9 turbo engines. I dry docked my boat to perform annual maintenance and avoid cyclones and when I went to put her back in the water came up with this problem. The port engine started fine but the starboard engine clicked as though the battery was a little below power. I replaced the batteries and then neither would start. Nothing! Not even a click. I had a mechanic look at a lot of things and he determined that the end fault is in the ETS. If I bypass the ETS the engines start fine. I sent the ETS away and they responded that all seemed to be ok but would replace all of the internal relays as a precaution. I have also replaced both of the CAN-bus leads. Now when I turn on the ignition the “active” and “Neutral” lights on the controls come on for a second or so and then go off. After about 15 seconds “Fault Throttle” appears on the smart-craft gauge of the starboard motor – but not the port.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Curly
