Why is there no AC power to the battery charger on my Blackfin 272CC Boat?
The breaker at the shore outlet may be off, so activate the breaker. The shore power cord may be damaged or defective, so replace the cord. The shore inlet connection may be corroded or defective, so replace the inlet connection.
What to do if my Blackfin 272CC wanders and will not hold a course at cruise speeds?
This issue could be due to air in the steering system, which requires you to fill and bleed the system. Another cause could be a corroded or misadjusted engine steering tab, so replace or adjust it. Finally, a binding engine steering spindle can cause wandering, so grease the spindle.
What to do if my Blackfin Boat engine will not start with the shift control lever in neutral?
First, try moving the shift lever slightly to ensure it's in the neutral detent. Inspect the wires on the neutral safety switch on the control and repair any loose connections. If these steps don't work, there may be a problem with the electronic control system, and you should have the system serviced by a qualified marine technician.
How to fix unusually hard hydraulic steering on a Blackfin 272CC?
The fuse or circuit breaker for the power steering circuit may have blown or tripped, so replace the fuse or reset the breaker. If that doesn't work, a steering line may be kinked or collapsed, requiring you to replace the damaged line.
What to do if my Blackfin 272CC engine is losing RPM?
The engine may have a sticky anti-siphon valve in the fuel line restricting fuel flow, so remove and clean or replace the anti-siphon valve. Also, inspect and replace the remote gasoline fuel filter and the primary fuel filter on the engine if they are dirty. If these steps don't work, the electronic engine control system or the fuel injection system on the engine may be malfunctioning, and you may need to repair these systems.
How to get rid of excessive odor from the marine head on my Blackfin 272CC Boat?
The odor may be caused by back pressure in the holding tank, so pump out the holding tank and clean the vent and vent hose. Also, ensure there is deodorizer in the holding tank; add deodorizer to the holding tank each time it is pumped out. If the waste in the tank is over two weeks old, pump the holding tank.
What to do if the bilge pump will not run when the manual switch is activated on my Blackfin 272CC Boat?
The circuit breaker supplying the switch may have tripped, so reset the circuit breaker. Ensure the battery switch is on. The pump impeller may be jammed by debris, so clean the pump impeller housing. Also, check for corroded wire connections in the bilge and replace connectors, securing them above the bilge waterline. Finally, the switch itself may be defective, so replace the switch.
Why won't the head flush on my Blackfin 272CC Boat?
The holding tank may be full; pump out the holding tank. The flush valve may be defective, so replace the flush valve.
What to do if the livewell pump on my Blackfin 272CC runs, but does not pump water?
The strainer on the intake scoop may be clogged, preventing water from reaching the pump; put the boat in reverse to clean the strainer. Alternatively, there may be an air lock in the system, so prime the system. Finally, make sure the thru-hull valve is open.
Why is my Blackfin 272CC engine alternator not charging properly?
A loose or corroded battery cable can prevent proper charging, so clean and tighten the battery cables. If the issue persists, the battery may be defective, and you should replace it.
