    Thanks for reply. Risers are only warm so temp ok. Engine oil level fine & outdrive oil level good. Thanks for reply. That makes sense but engine temp is ok?

    Windlass ground connection problem

    Well I am thankful for you guys telling me to persist & trace wires as at the back of the engine bay there is an earth point hidden by flexible conduit with the other end of windlass cable broken off. Just need to crimp new lug & clean up earth point. Thanks again

    Windlass ground connection problem

    No the switch works fine when I run a lead straight from battery. It is cable E with the problem & i can't find where other end terminates

    Windlass ground connection problem

    The cable I have bad ground on is cable E at the control switch end. No relay & it is 6awg wire to & from control switch. According to this diagram it should go direct to negative terminal of battery which it doesn't. It must go to a negative bus which is what I can't find at moment

    Windlass ground connection problem

    Thanks for the replies. I ran a cable direct from battery negative to windlass up/down negative connector & windlass works so definitely bad connection. I have tried to follow negative cable from up/down switch but it seems to go forward then across below all the wiring at the helm. No sign of a...

    Windlass ground connection problem

    Windlass stopped working in my Rinker 250 cruiser. I have 12v to the breaker switch but when I meter the negative & positive connections on the windlass up/down switch i only get 7 volts. If i transfer negative test lead to independent ground i get 12v so I assume bad ground connection. The...

    Mercruiser 350 mag strange overheating issue.

    Got boat back & apparently the hose was connected to drive with a conventional hose clamp. Now new hose retained with newer internal clamp. Boat running fine at normal temp.

    Some advice on transom shield replacement and water getting into the bilge

    I am also in Australia & had the misfortune of my Bayliner sinking on its mooring due to corrosion from the steering arm seal in the transom. I had noticed the bilge pump coming on over a number of months when I got onto rear of boat but as the boat is moored in a very, very windy spot over...

    Mercruiser 350 mag strange overheating issue.

    Yes I think it is the pinch fitting from what I can see online. Leg is coming up for a service anyway. Problem is now it has started overheating under power getting on to plane. I might have to travel a bit to a mercruiser mechanic. I was wondering as a temporary fix I could connect sea pump to...

    Mercruiser 350 mag strange overheating issue.

    Bravo 3 2006 belt driven pump. Yes I realised later not mechanics fault. I can't believe hose installed at factory has come off after a couple of years.

    Mercruiser 350 mag strange overheating issue.

    Just been having a look online re this hose. I assumed it was held on by a hose clamp but from what I can ascertain the hose is attached by a special insert that has to have drive off to do. Is this correct?

    Mercruiser 350 mag strange overheating issue.

    So glad you replied to my post & confirmed what I was thinking but was not exactly sure. Got under boat today with a mask & I couldn't believe what I saw. The seawater pickup hose had come off the drive! In the down position hose was being crushed & also was being sucked onto external parts of...
