The new engine/drivetrain is good, J-prop is pitched, new propane system is in, boat is cleaned up, waxed and was ready to go. I looked at the engine panel and the temp gauge is sloshing with water. Called Beta West and said I wanted a new gauge. Dealer also talked to them. They asked if the gauge is still working which it was. Not covered under warranty. Dealer and I discussed and he has to follow chain of command. I do not..So I called Beta in NC and got nowhere. Beta NC is not the national boss. So, I called Beta West back and said the gauge is not working. Wait!! You told me it was! Well, there is so much water/moisture on the inside of lens that I cannot see the gauge. If I cannot see the gauge, it’s not working.. So, in the end, it’s getting sent back for analysis. They wouldn’t just send me one with a promise of return...i did get a confirmation that all idiot lights/alarms work without the gauge.
Then, upon leaving the boat, I usually check battery voltage..12.3V!! Huh? Turned charger off and on twice. Faulted out both times. Fault code says inadequate air flow. So, this wekend, I’ll stick the vacuum to the inlet screen and see what happens. Might have to remove and take it apart. Xantrex Trucharge 2 60a..at least this stuff doesn’t keep me at the dock..
