troubleshoot electrical
 

looking for someone who is good at troubleshooting boat electrical. any recomendations?

What's the problem? Usually not very difficult.

usually its either the battery or the conections to the battery thats where any one would start looking.

Gauge Issues
 

i also have a crazy problem that i am scratching my head over. My fuel/speedometer for my Yamaha 150 is just been replaced. The fuel level was flashing, so i thought the tank level sensor was stuck. I replaced with a new tube style float gauge and ran a new wire to the sensor and the gauge. now the gauge only lights up but no numbers,voltage or fuel level lights up. un plugged and re-plugged all wire and splices at factory connections to wire harness. any other suggestions. The back light for the gauge lights up.

Check all your grounds, that's where I normally find my problems.

Ya right man my last confusing problem turned out to be a faulty ground wire too. took me a whole afternoon and a six pack to figure it out and thats when I hadda use my phone a friend option. Remember the more complicated something is the more stuff to go wrong.

What is the problem you are seeing? you will get a better recommendation if describe your problem.

rechecked gauge
 

removed switch panel and disconnected all wires going to gauge. No change to issue. so i unplugged sending unit wires still no change. only thing i can think of is i blew out speedometer hose to gauge. Could the gauge be blow out?+:confused:

When i had a bay boat i had a similar problem opened up the inspection hatch for my in floor tank and on the top towards one side there was a ground wire loose . tightened it up . solved problem.
