Hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. 2015 8.2 Liter mag ho with 157 hrs. We were out on the hook today, finished up and hauled anchor, just as the anchor settled in I get an alarm for low system voltage on the stbd engine. Vessel View and both Raymarine units show 14.1 vdc. Fluke shows 14.1 at battery, terminals clean and tight. Port Engine battery feeds my windlass, as that voltage tends to drop to 13.6 during operation, so I ruled that out. I also noticed that my Stdb drive trim indicator is not functioning, both analog gauge and digital indicator on vessel view. I'm thinking that maybe a trim sensor failure could cause this alarm. So, my question here is, can I disconnect the sensor to clear the alarm? I never had trim indicators on my other boats, I can operate without it, but not sure what is going on, and don't really want to have the boat hauled, again, if I don't have to. If it's possible to disconnect or disable, how can I find the right connector, or termination point?
Thanks in advance for your input.
