What should I do if my Everglades Boat engine is overheating?
If an engine is running too hot on your Everglades Boat, it could be due to: * The engine raw water pick up strainer being clogged with marine growth. Clean the pick up. * The engine raw water pump impeller being worn or damaged. Repair the pump. * The engine thermostat is faulty and needs to be replaced.
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. Find and correct the problem, then restart the generator. * A low fuel level in the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank. * The generator being overloaded. Manage AC accessory use to reduce excess amperage draw.
Why is the hydraulic steering so hard on my Everglades Boat?
If the hydraulic steering on your Everglades Boat is unusually hard, consider the following: * The fuse for the power steering circuit may have blown. Replace the fuse. * An internal fuse in the power steering pump system may have blown. Refer to the steering owner's manual for fuse location and replace the fuse or contact your dealer for assistance. * A steering line may be kinked or collapsed. Replace the kinked or collapsed line.
Why won't the head flush on my Everglades Boat?
If the head won't flush on your Everglades Boat, check these potential causes: * The fuse for the head circuit may be blown. Replace the fuse. * The holding tank may be full. Pump out the holding tank. * There might be a bad connection at the head pump or the switch. Repair the connection. If none of these solutions work, the head pump itself may be defective. Consider replacing the pump.
Why does the AC breaker trip when using accessories on my Everglades Boat?
If the cabin AC main breaker in your Everglades Boat trips while using accessories, it could be due to: * Too many AC accessories being activated, causing excess amperage draw. Manage AC accessory use to reduce the load. * Low or high voltage supplied from the shore outlet. Check the voltage. If the problem persists, the main breaker might be defective. Contact a qualified marine electrician to replace it.
Why does the carbon monoxide detector go off in my Everglades Boat?
If the carbon monoxide detector sounds the alarm in your Everglades Boat when the engines or generator are running, consider these possibilities: * The canvas curtains may be up, and forward-facing vents are closed, causing carbon monoxide to accumulate. Open the windshield and side curtains for proper ventilation. * The boat may be operating at slow speed with the wind on the stern, pushing CO into the cockpit and cabin. Increase boat speed or change heading if possible. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have the boat checked by a professional before assuming the carbon monoxide detector is defective.
How to troubleshoot a generator that won't start in my Everglades Boat?
If the generator in your Everglades Boat will not start, check the following: * Ensure the house battery is charged. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. * Verify the generator fuel supply valve is on. Turn it on if it's off. * Confirm the fuel level is adequate in the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank if it's low.
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.
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.
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. In both cases, fill and bleed the system. * A component in the steering system could be binding. Check, adjust, or repair the binding component. * The engine steering spindle might be binding. Grease the spindle.
