Tony and Corey or others,
Thanks again for the help last year advising me to install the Cummins adapter harness which eliminated those ghost error codes.By the way, Boatdiesel would not post my thank you to you guys several months ago.
Here is a new problem I hope you or someone else on the forum can help with. First my boat: 2006 Searay 40 dancer. Twin cummins qsb 380 5.9. Ser.46524871 and 46525394. Vessel view software ver.4.0.0.20.
Yesterday, I noticed a wandering analog tach. It was very brief. By the time my brain tuned in I could not tell if both tacks, and or VV tach readings wandered. It was fine for the rest of the short ride.
Today running around 2200 rpms I noticed the port analog tach wandering, immediately I lost all readings on guages and vv for the starb engine although the engines were runing. Additionally at this same time I had been running with the sync engaged. There was an eratic effect on RPMs so I came to idle and neutral. I was unable to get the sync to turn off. Finally, I shut down the engines and restarted. Sync was then off, guages and vv were normal. Ran the rest of way home 20 minutes at varying speeds and all OK. Never saw any error codes. Checked vv history and no error codes active or past. Note I had reset the vv when I installed the cummins adapter harness over a year ago. Im thinking the syncronizer malfunction is the result of the data loss, and if so, why the data loss?
I would appreciate any guidance you could provide as we are booked for an extended Chesapeake trip in a couple weeks.
