CC Electronic Gauge Trouble

lcap · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Nov 2003 Posts: 10973 City: Homeless

Took the SAN out over the weekend and everything digital went gunny bag. RPM's read 9,000, lost stereo control, speedo read different than PP and the hour meter read 84 hours.

Thought since this POS is a computer if I turn everything off and re-boot the machine it may sort itself out. After re-booting about 8 times I regained some normal functions--RPM's, Stereo, Speedo close but the Hours still registered 84 hours.

However when I turned it off and restarted again it wen't haywire again.

Now I know the hours are wrong-I mark the oil filter with hours and date changed. It had 116.2 hours.

I hate electronic crap, especially $5,000 crap that can leave me stranded.

Any ideas????

lcap, sounds like possibly ECU problems, although it's odd that all the gauges failed at once, as far as I know the gauges don't have one "brain" or do they? Neutral

Since you have an 04 and thus a GM power plant, Pacific Nautiques can read the actual engine run time off of the motor and put the correct number in the display. I'd give Pacific a call anyways, they are pretty good (as you may know) at troubleshooting things over the phone. If you do bring it into them to have it serviced this weekend I'll be oogling it. Shocked

I'd ask over on Planetnautique.com too if you haven't already.

It almost sounds like a freak voltage spike or something. Confused

Yes, this Friday the boat we pick the boat up after 2.5 months of waiting. I've been trying to get Ron to take some pictures of it for me, but I doubt that will happen, I'd rather have them prepping the boat for delivery anyways. Wink

If you see her let me know how she looks. She's all white with a black secondary and black tape. The interior is black primary, black piping, titanium secondary stripe, silver cloud base. I can't wait to see her, hopefully Ron will get me some pics, the next 4 days are gonna be pretty tough.

I haven't had the CF stuff done yet, but I'm going to do it in a month or two probably, thanks for the templates, pics, and other help that you've offered me. Tis much appreciated.

DRAGON88,

I have to talk to Rob about changing out my racks so I'll stop by tomorrow. If you want I'll take some pictures and e-mail them if you want.

Just let me know.

lcap, you would pretty much be my hero if you did that for me. It would definitely help the week go by faster. Laughing

My email is Dragon88@gmail.com. Did you talk to anyone about your gauges yet? What's the word?

DRAGON88,

I'll take care of the pictures tomorrow. I'll talk to Rob about the gauges and see if he has any ideas I can try before I bring it back over.

He's been trying to find a matching set of racks (wake-Air Chair) for over a year without luck. Tried some new ones over the weekend but my kids boards won't fit in them. Shocked

Bindings are too close together. Had some that worked but the boards rattled beyond belief. I'll pick up another set tomorrow. Also working with him on racks that will mount in different locations on the 04 tower.

5 boards 1 AC 2 Surfboards 1 Knee board

Leggester,

I so wanted one a few years ago. However my Searay dealer was and is such a freakin snob. I went in two or three times, not given a second look or the time of day. They sell from 18' runabouts to the Searay yachts. Needless to say weren't interested in selling me a more modest vehicle. Mr. Green

DRAGON88,

Talked to Ron today he thinks it's a defective gauge. Will replace it next time I bring the boat over in three weeks.

Anyway, man your boat is AWESOME! They are just finishing it now. Speakers, lights, pre-final checkout are complete. When I saw her they were waxing the hull and cleaning up the inside.

I'm sending you 12 pictures of her. If they don't get them let me know.

lcap, glad to hear that they are taking care of it.

I got the pics about 4 mins after you sent 'em. Shocked

Talk about luck. I'm grinning like an idiot right now at school and people are starting to look at me funny. Laughing

Thanks again for the pics, I put the pics up in the show your boat forum 'cause I couldn't wait. Thanks again!!
