I am getting a smartcraft alarm and the engine rpm limiter is coming on when I am running t higher rpm and when I go to the smarcraft display to check the active flat alarms it tells me ther are no active alarms . Almost like a false arm of sorts. I have twin 8.1 horizon mercruisers on an 05...

Ok, so I am tearing my hair out at this point after 3 weeks of my dealer trying to figure out what is wrong with my port engine. Symptoms are Low Idle Under Load and Running Tremendously Rich where you can smell the unburnt fuel and see that the exhaust is very thick. Replaced Spark Plugs and...

I have a problem on my 2005 34 PC where the Monitoring Panel inside the cabin, just above the Air Conditioning thermostat does not light up any status at all for the Electronic Bonding Status. My Shorepower 1 and Shorepower 2 indicators on that same monitor light up correctly, but nothing on...

I am trying to figure out whether there should be Zinc Anode's on the V Drive Shafts on my 34PC with Inboard installation. There were none when I was delivered the boat last year, but someone mentioned it to me this year and I was not sure about it. I just have the 2 large Anodes on the back...

I am having a problem with my Bowthruster this year, essentially it cuts in and out and has become ineffective to use as a result. I am working through my dealer to get corrected under warranty, but was curious if anyone has encountered this problem or not. I am thinking it could be as...
