There is a neutral switch that could be out of alinement. General speaking, its built into the shift so you can only start the engine in neutral.

What are your plans in boating. For me it would be too small. For others too big or not the right options.

Take the bridge clearance and add it from the water line to the ground with the boat on the trailer. Their web site would not show what your asking for. Since there are many trailer manufactories.

I would bypass switch with a small jumper or needle nose pilers first. If no sound than break out your meter. Do you have voltage at the switch? If yes than fuse is good and no need to go directly to the battery. The next test would be do you have voltage at the horn when the switch is...

Up here in the Boston area winter is just too cold. So my boat is on the hard. But your luck to be in a warm climate. Yesterday it hit 52 degrees so off to the boat I went to install new starting batteries. A labor of love I must say. Can't wait for the middle of May when when my boat goes in.

My boat is 23 years old. Defiantly a work in progress! Just upgraded the bow thruster and new starting batteries.

Was the problem solved?

Same to you!!

It is a lot to read! But that web site is very good they get into everything on a boat. Chargers, raw water pumps, electronics.........................

To get back to Denny's point. "What would I do with a lithium battery" The lithium type LiFePO4 battery is becoming a common place for house bank batteries. Its it nice to know about new technologies such as this? This link will explain why most boaters are going to lithium for their house...

The same as you do now for the house. But they would last 4 to 5 times longer with less wight and more amp hours. Isn't that the whole idea?? Oh, and to save $$ More amp hours = less time between charging and more run time. Bad idea?? I hope not!

No slippage. But I think you mean by pushing the water back to drive the boat foward. Yes, it's more for salt water. It's does work great. I am totally a salt water boater. I love traveling on the boat to new places and some old one that I really like. As in Egdertown, MA or Newport RI.

As I mentioned, you have. That is just a type and if my memory is right there are 4 kinds. But that one is the safest to be on a boat.

Sure you have heard of them. They been in our cell phones for years! Replace the generator? Well that all depend on you load demands. As mentioned, half the wight with more amp hours.

It is a type of lithium battery. The safe type, not the same as the ones used in phones or cars. Lithium is a deep to moderate cycle battery. Not used for starting large engines, or until they improve the technology any week now. But half the wight of flooded or AGM batteries with the 10 to 20%...

Speed Prop is a anti-fouling coating. It also makes the the surface very slick giving for less drag. How much less drag, well I don't think its much at all. The coating should last about 3 to 4 years which is a good thing. It works so well there is no slim at all on the treaded surfaces...

I have a small ton of projects. 1. Going to use Speed Prop on my rudder and props. 2. Add LED strips to the V-berth cabin. 3. To add a cell charging station to the helm. Like the ones used in a car to hold it. 4. Replacing my starting batteries and making my own cables. I bought the crimping...

Just thought I would start a new topic that I have never seen here. LiFePO4 is becoming more and more common place.

Yep! The magnets in the motor will do it. Do you have radar? if yes? Can the compass can be tied into a NEMA2k network with your GPS?

Have you calibrated the compass? I am not familiar with Vessel View. But I do have a electronic compass on my boat that is a stand alone device and tied into the NMEA2k network. Is your compass built into the mother board or separate/stand alone? If separate, try moving it. It should not be...
