I must have had a bad day yesterday. I meant to post this on the trawler forum. No disrespect to all the boaters here!! But most are lake boaters that would not need a water maker. The wife is retiring next spring. The plan is to take the boat and go south for the following winter. Fuel with...

The fact that you are turning off and on the power.

I plan on adding a water maker for next season. Looking at Parker, Spectra and US Watermaker. They all have pros and cons but leaning towards US Watermaker. US Watermaker Clearwater is expandable from 400 to 1500 GPD by changing the tubes. Small in size/foot print. 120V @ 18A Parker Pro Mini...

You can buy some lights that by turning them off and back on. You cycle though the colors. No brainbox or controller. That could be the case. I have had them on my but from red to white for night time. Why rewire?

I had this problem before. With many wires off the same post, I would tape or wire tie them in a bundle. Its just too easy to miss one.

I would look for a short in the harness than. If that fails. New wiring then. It's a simple install.

You mean, its by-passing the switch. Yes?

I am a little confused. So all 5 wires are disconnected and the 2 blowers stay on? If that is the case, " then they are getting their power from another wire that is powered by that same breaker." I would try to trace the wires from the blowers to the breaker. Or even the other way too. You...

At 12V, they make them way bigger than that. But there more money.

I don't thing you need to set the sending unit to point to a devices. Most likely, and true with Simrad. On the receiving unit. you need to pick the device you want the data from. In my case, I have 2 sonar transducers and 2 devices that give GPS locations. I had to pick which device to take...

I always kept it stocked. So I would not have to bring down the condiments and other stuff.

I don't use my grill that often. But that's me.. As to the fridge, more facts are needed. You must do the math. How many amp does the fridge use? How many amp hours are you 2 batteries? Now add in what you will use in one day. Without that info, your question can not be answered. Just an FYI...

You are better off coming off the engine. No different than a hot water heater found on most boats. Cut a hose and put the heater in line. This works great with a closed cooling system. On a open system, its going to run a little cooler. The only electric ones run off of 120v. Which means...

Videos, I would do a You Tube search. Just an FYI - I have no experience with Merc. If I was having a problem, the first thing I would do is download the latest firmware to both Simrad and Smart Craft equipment. From there you'll need a Mercury VesselView Link or SmartCraft Connect module...

Thank you!
