Most likely the gauge is going bad. I had to replace both of mine on my Sig350 quite a few years ago. Not sure if the replacements are still available, but Cecil Marine had the gauges and adaptors that you need in order to replace them. They were the only place that had them as far as I know...

Yes. When I winterize, I put the antifreeze into the fresh water fill and then use the onboard water pump to supply all faucets, shower heads and the toilet + for the toilet I flush 4-5 times to push antifreeze through the waste portion of the system as well.

My A/C unit is working now. Always nice on these forums to know the end result. Tech had me confirm there was power coming to unit before he came. His service call only involved swapping the board & that was the issue. We tested the unit & it's 100% good to go. No idea why the circuit board...

Hoping someone has a comment, although I've got a call into a marine hvac tech too. Doing shakedown for the season this week and in addition to a few leaks that needed attention I have an issue with the heat/ac. It worked the last day of the 2021 season, so who knows why, but now it's not...

Update on these 2 issues. Leaking antifreeze from toilet was due to worn base seal. I had an issue with the water valve last season, so went ahead and purchased a replacement base for the toilet. I was able to do the removal & replacement myself. Not too bad once you take the tank off the...

My boat is an '04 with I/O, so I realize things are located a little differently, but to me the fresh water tank would not be affected by the engine/drive configuration. My fresh water tank is located under the center cushion of the aft berth. the aft berth cushions to port and center lift out...

Didn't get into it yet. I do a monthly check and found the antifreeze on the floor this visit. Waiting for a some warmer temps before investigating, but that's a good place to check and I have a replacement water inlet valve I want to install this season, so I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

Definitely will check that.

Hi Everyone. So glad this forum was started given the deterioration and ultimate death of the Chap site. I've gotten great support over the years and shared some of my own experiences as well. Anyway, I've got 2 issues on 2 different boats that need to be resolved before the 2022 season gets...

Hey all. Hoping we've got a tech guy (or gal) on here who might know the answer or have a suggestion. I know this is a bit long winded, but I want to give enough info that hopefully someone can give some useful input. I just finished installing a NMEA 2000 network on my 2004 Signature 350. My...

Hey all. Quick question if anyone knows before I pull my dash panel. Also, I realize my year and model may be different, but I'm installing a NMEA 2000 network on my boat and have the backbone cable run where I want it to the helm. I have my power drop cable connected to the backbone and last...

Thank you! I was able to determine the leak was back behind the motor. My mechanic was able to get to me sooner than expected too and found that the seals on my steering actuator were shot. He ordered a new one and got it swapped out in about 3 hours. I had watched a video on YouTube and...

I discovered my power steering system is losing fluid. It got hard to steer about a week ago, so I just added fluid and didn't think much of it because the steering effort returned to normal. But, after running the boat about an hour it got hard to turn the wheel again and when I got home I...
