My partner and I bought a 1997 Cruisers 3650 (salt
water boat) moved up to Toronto...been living aaboard three months. Been enjoying the
boat throughout our summer. We had an odour problem we resolved by replacing the vent filter with a direct hose to the outside. (we have no boats on either side of us. )
New problem...hopefully minor...we Took the
boat out about a week ago...port
engine took several tries to start...but ran fine for the entire trip...went to take it out this week...Port
engine reset button was clicking. I shut the
power, pulled out the manual which told me to check Baterries, check connections, ccheck ignition and master ignition...all seemed fine at the time.
I had to leave it for another day because of business, came back went to test port engine again...this time the port engine buzzer sounded erratic,
instruments bounced around...but nothing happened with either the engine or the reset button.
The
Batteries all test well...one boater says I should follow the red wire from the engine to through the boat and see if there is a break or short somewhere. I'm brand new to
boating and need some experienced input...most of the powerboaters where we are are away during the week and out early in the mornings on weekends.
Any suggestion for us noobs?
