How to fix slow and erratic hydraulic steering in my Everglades Boat?
If the hydraulic steering in your Everglades Boat is slow, erratic, or the steering wheel feels bumpy, it could be due to several reasons: * The steering system may be low on fluid or have air in it.

Grease the spindle.
What to do if my Everglades Boat engine won't start in neutral?
If your Everglades Boat engine won't start with the shift control lever in neutral, consider these potential causes: * The shift control lever might not be fully in the neutral detent. Try moving the shift lever slightly. * There could be a loose wire on the neutral safety switch in the control. Inspect wires and repair any loose connections. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the starter or ignition switch might be bad, or there may be a problem with the electronic control system. In the latter case, have the system serviced by a qualified marine technician.
Why does my Everglades Boat wander at cruise speeds?
If your Everglades Boat wanders and won't hold a course at cruise speeds with hydraulic steering, it could be due to: * Air in the steering system. Fill and bleed the system. * Improperly aligned engines. Align the engines. * A binding engine steering spindle. Grease the spindle.

Why does the main AC breaker trip when connecting my Everglades Boat to shore power?
If the cabin Main Breaker for AC Power trips when activating the system from shore power on your Everglades Boat, it could be because: * The AC accessory breakers are on, and the power surge is tripping the breaker. Turn off all AC accessory breakers and reactivate the main breaker. * The main breaker is defective. Contact a qualified marine electrician to replace the breaker.
Why does my Everglades Boat air conditioner cut out after running briefly?
If the air conditioner in your Everglades Boat runs briefly and then cuts out, it could be due to: * A clogged intake scoop strainer for the raw water system. Back down the boat to clear debris or clean the scoop strainer. * A clogged air conditioner pump sea strainer. Clean the strainer. * A closed raw water supply thru-hull valve. Open the valve. * An air-bound raw water system. Ensure the thru-hull valve is open and run the boat above 15 mph to force the air lock out of the system.

Replace the battery. * A Voltage Sensitive Relay in the charging system may not be working properly. Replace the defective VSR.
Why won't the fresh water pump turn off on my Everglades Boat?
If the fresh water pump on your Everglades Boat fails to turn off after all outlets are closed, it could be caused by: * A leak in a pressure line or outlet. Repair the leak. * An air leak in the intake line. Repair the air leak. * A defective pressure switch. Replace the pressure switch. * Low voltage to the pump. Check for corroded or loose wiring connections or low battery. * A clogged strainer. Clean the strainer. * A defective pump. Repair or replace the pump.
What causes my Everglades Boat generator to shut down after running for a short time?
If the generator in your Everglades Boat runs for a short time and then shuts down, it could be due to: * A problem with the generator triggering the emergency shutdown system.
