    Smartcraft Warning Question

    My 2006 Merc 200xs has a constant engine malfunction lamp. Upon inspection I noticed some coil wires that got exposed rubbing on a starter bolt. I suspect it gave me error code counts but the engine runs perfect. Is there a way to clear the codes without the DDT? Thanks, Norm

    06 200XS Engine Malfuction Warning

    I wanted to post as an fyi. I took my boat out after sitting all winter and noticed the Smartcraft gauge engine icon and warning bell flashing. No audible alarm ever sounded and no loss of power or Guardian system ever kicked in. Took it in for diagnostics and turned out one of the coils had...

    New Allison Owner

    John It's easly to go fast. Mash it and it'll go. Trim it and it will rise out of the water. Look down and all of a sudden your doing 80. Leave enough control and room on the water to Ease Down On The Throttle Slowly and avoid bow steering the boat into the tules. Have fun and good luck...

    Steering Wheel Trim Switch

    Yeah Froggy mine was intermitent as well. The way it was acting I thought it was set up like a steering wheel horn where you have a roller going around a flat disc. But Blue Gray in PA is correct in that you should try let the wires run loosely coming out of the steering shaft to allow for...

    starting in gear

    Is there a difference between the Sportmaster and Torquemaster gear sets. Or is it because the prop size is what the concern is all about(leading to chips/wear). On my 200xs I feel like it's even hard to take it out of gear.

    Fire Extinguisher Mounting

    Fishnfireman...I stand corrected. I do not avocate putting extinguishers in compartments. The right thing to do is mount them where they are readily accessable. I teporarily put mine in a compartment so I can go fishing until I decide the proper place to mount it. Right John.

    Fire Extinguisher Mounting

    Yeah John I was thinking the same place. Behind the driver seat. I am not a fan of drilling holes or making alterations that may haunt you later. For now I threw it in the starboard rear compartment but I think I'll move it to where jerryingeorgia has his. The starboard rod locker...
