      August 8, 2022 at 12:17 pm So far we have not have any starting issues.Ā  Our 20 day trip up north was perfect.Ā  I will feel more comfortable with the fix after a full season in case it is related to the colder months and recurs over the winter.

      March 30, 2017 at 3:39 pm You’ll notice now that the created topic will always stay on top of the topic page separate of the replies. In addition to that, the replies have been re-organized so that the newest reply is at the top of the page so they are in effect, “reversed” from how they were before. I have heard a few requests for this feature and so I implemented it… Let me know if this works better for everyone. Feedback is always appreciated.

When I turn the key the warning buzzer goes off, gauges activated, etc but then when I goto start the engines nothing. I turn the key off and do it again and they start. Both engines do this. Its really random also, sometimes they start first try and sometimes it takes 3 tries. When this happens…

      November 30, 2016 at 6:58 am I only had issues with one motor. I changed it out to a higher amperage switch and it works fine ever since.
