    We need to convince someone to make a dash panel for behind the chartplotter to complete the look!

    That would be nice or we both need to step it up and get a plotter that covers the entire area! LoL

    All the new ones are 16x9 ratio and don’t look right! I’m going to use an iPad Pro this year. I will fill the hole from my Raymarine and put a black sticker over the area since I don’t think I will be able to match the gel coat  :/

    I would buy a piece of black starboard from boat outfitters to cover the hole. Will look much better than a sticker. Once you start using the iPad you will struggle to pay for electronics, it really works perfectly as a chart plotter (assuming yours is cellular enabled of course, if not it won’t work).

    Crappy pic but I need to find an AC connector like the ones at the back of this pic (yellow) to add another circuit to the panel. Any suggestions on where to find this?



    Tried GLS but no luck on the connector itself but I think this is the terminal block view.

    I need some help please Aero! I’m working on my control and I need to wire up the new trim switches. My existing switches seem to have two detents on the “up” side of the switch - I assume this is by design whereby the first detent is for trim and the second detent allows the drive to go up even further for trailering?



    Thanks!

    Yes, that’s correct. You can move them independently with those switches if you want. There’s another switch on the lever that controls both drives at the same time.

    Perfect! I assume engaging “trailering mode” lifts the drive above the limit of where it can be safely operated?

    Yes, you shouldn’t run the engine in “trailer” position.

    The Volvo in my old boat didn’t have trailering mode - any idea how much higher it lifts the drive and if it’s actually necessary given that I will never trailer the boat?

    It puts the drive up at a very high angle. You will want it if you ever get stuck in shallow water.

    aero I'd think if your i that shallow a water, better getting out and pushing the boat!

    Right, you really should not run the boat at trailer height but if you do no more than idle. I’d push!

    Aero, do you have an extra fuel filter mounted on the firewall like this? It is mounted vertically.

    I don’t, I looked for one when I first bought the boat and didn’t see one. Do you have one for both tanks?

    @YYZRC do you have this white hose on your starboard side?

    Do you have that fuel filter for both tanks or is it plumbed to use only one filter?

    I'm not sure, I need to check that too but I assume there are two.  I believe the output from that filter goes to the port side cool fuel module.

    Strange, I’ll have to follow the hose and see what it’s connected to. I definitely don’t have the fuel filters installed.

    I'm going to add a fuel filter for the genny.

    Could you please check your port throttle cable for any sort of designation of the length?  I got my new control installed but the port cable is stiff and I forgot to check!

    Thanks Aero!!

    This is a top view down to my starboard cool fuel. Two concerns - first, the open hole with the wires coming out. Is that normal?

    Second, there’s no clamp on the output from the cool fuel module?!

    Yes, the hole with the wires is normal. If your cool fuel module is the older style, the water lines don’t have clamps, there pressed on.

    Next one in on the boat I’ll chec the throttle cable. If there’s no length printed on it, you’ll have to remove and measure it.

    I think there’s also a shifter ball? That you can check if you remove the cover plate on the outdrive. I’ve read that these just need to be lubed up and shifting becomes smooth. I would check that first before removing and replacing the cable.

    Here’s what it looks like, very simple to access and lube or replace.
