So you are guessing. I would talk to your dealer on this. I bet the fuel sender is going straight to the helm as in past years. So you fuel gauge in would be analog. Garmin does make a NMEA fuel cable that will convert the ohms/analog to a digital format...

The fuel sensor, it does have a NMEA2k connector on it. In my above post, I was assuming it did. To back up on my post. How are you tapping into the engines computer to read RPMs and other data? You fuel sensor could be connected to the engine's computer or to the gauge on the helm. Where is...

In boating, yellow is negative. Why? As not to be confused with 120V A.C. which is black. You mentioned that "One runs to the battery switch". Are you sure? Since it yellow, I would thing not. Only red wires should be going to the battery switch. Thats not to say that some one changes the wires...

Did this work before? If the the sender is not on the list, then the Garmin is not seeing it. Obviously, but must be said. There must be a other cable plugged into the sender and than going to the backbone. Try plugging it directly into the backbone or use another drop cable. Maybe that cable is...

What brand is the new head unit? What other connection have you made other than power? Maybe by looking at the wiring diagram we can help. you.

One should not have anything to do with the other I would think. But your not explaining how the Garmin is getting a reading off the tank. Plus, has this worked in the past? We would need more info. Normally or in the past, this feature is not used since the below ways would need to be added as...

The tube is like pipe. You buy it buy the length and than add on the fittings you need. Sailrite.com, I know has the fittings and stainless tubing.

It is very easy. I would google or better still use You Tube and look up NMEA2k. Simrad makes a very good unit, its a big stem over Garmin. Your transducer and radar should be connected to to the Simrad NXS, not the NMEA2k network. Engine data would depend on the type of engines you have. Your...

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.
