March 7, 2020 at 8:15 am No I have pictures from when the boat was wrapped to whe. It was delivered. I actually took the wrap off. Nothing was modified near the fuel tanks. Likewise have picture proof that the fuel vents were covered by the wrap during transport so no water got in that way either.

Engine flush fittings.
This topic has 10 replies, has 7 voices, and was last updated by

August 16, 2019 at 8:10 am I see Seaboard has bronze in line flush fittings for cummins engines. Is there any more sizes available? I’m looking for different barb end sizes. I have a few boats I work on that I would really like to add the ability to flush easier. Most of the boats are live aboards. 1 1/4 ,1 1/2 1 inch. I probably can cobble something together but those bronze fittings are real nice.

3 RepliesSeptember 9, 2019 at 3:46 am Engine hours are memorised by the ECM. So unless the ECM has been changed the total engine hours displayed on Vessel view will be correct. For example, if you replace a vessel view display with a new display (as I did with an SMX display) the correct hours will be displayed.Last Post by:

Network problem two engine display on Raymarine
This topic has 7 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by
4 years ago July 20, 2019 at 4:59 am Iām trying to network my two recently installed QSB5.9 version one SIM engines to my Raymarine MFDās. (serial numbers 60294916 & 60295589) I have connected the individual VesselView 4ās to the raymarine backbone via device net cables. The engines are not linked. Only one engine at a time is showing up on the network. The MUS settings are set for stbd master and port slave. VV4ās are port and stbd and different identities ( locations) set. B…

Disconnected one VV4 from Raymarine, leaving the other connected to the backbone. Now both engines talking to each other, and only one VV4 communicating with Raymarine, but transmitting both sets of data. Problem was the 2 smartcraft Gateways were competing. Unable to change their addresses without joining the engines, then…Last Post by:

This topic has 2 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by
4 years ago November 12, 2018 at 2:08 pm Not sure if this should be under Cummins or Electonics but assume Cummins at this point. Just re-powered my Bertram31 with Cummins QSB 5.9 380s with 2 VesselView 4s at the same helm. I have been operating with segmented Engines set both to Master and had a dedicated VV4 as the Gauge for the Port and Starboard (however the Port VV reported the its engine as Starboard). THANKS to a discussion with Corey –i switched the Jumper on the MUS …

Sim no J39 data
This topic has 18 replies, has 6 voices, and was last updated by
5 years ago July 22, 2017 at 5:10 pm Cummins had to replace my QSB 5.9 engine and put a Recon in it this last week. All seems to be fine. They very nicely gave me a version 3 VesselView as I didn’t have one in the boat. We connected it for the sea trial and it all worked fine yesterday. Today, shortly after starting the engine I got the “sim no J39 data” error. When this occurs, don’t get any rpm reading, either on the VesselView or the original tachome…

Troll & Cruise modes Vessel View 4
This topic has 5 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by
5 years ago November 26, 2018 at 4:42 am Hi all, I have a pair of recently installed QSB5.9 380hp with Vessel View 4ās. Troll mode has been displayed in yellow with (apparently no operational effect ) since installation. When I try to disable it, the disable button is greyed out. When the engines were commissioned, the Cummins Tech noticed this, but brushed it off. I would like to know if this feature (Troll rpm) and Cruise mode as per the operating manual is available with these Q…

5 RepliesNovember 26, 2018 at 6:19 pm Wayne, If you figure it out how to incorporate something that is glitch free, reliable, intuitive to use, fulled supported, and something you can troubleshooted if problems occurs, let me know.. At this point in time, those parameters do do exist with my “since 2004” experiences using “Mercury Electronics”, AKA “SmartCraft” or what I am not allowed to call it anymore.in a public forum.

This topic has 2 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by
5 years ago October 11, 2018 at 12:53 am I recently installed 2 X QSB 5.9 380 engines into my boat equipped with Vessel View 4 indicators I have no tank quantity indication (I use a dipstick), but note there is good fuel flow indication. Can I set the system up to indicate fuel remaining if I give it the tank capacity of the boat? Or at the least, a āfuel usedā summary after each trip? Thanks in advance Wayne Spalding Tank quantity ~ 1500ltrs
