Digital dash

I had written in a week or two ago about when I run my lights,graph,and aereator, that my dash shuts down. I thought I had it fixed with a small ground wire that was loose on the strip on the back of the boat, but apparently I dont. Fault buttons also come on above these buttons on my dash,as well as the low voltage . Could I be using to small of battery its a interstate marine cranking thats less than a year old. The strip you all told me to check only had 1 loose ground,and no corrosion. The boat is a 99 pantera 3 ,I live in Salem AR , but would rather not bother you guys at the plant if its something I myself. Sorry for the bother , Thanks D Hall

I had the same problem with my PII. I rewired all the wires on the distribution block. My problem I believe was the main pos and neg wires from the battery to the block, were 2 sizes smaller than the wires on the block. You might check that.

It is going to usually be in the cannon plug into the unit, or the terminal strips as mentioned above.

It could be the main power connection on the Master Power, or the main power lead into the unit, there are two (2) 12 gauge red wires into the unit. One is switched and the other is not.

We are going to be on vacation break next week, from July 1st – 9th. There will be little to no service until July 18th or longer from the shop staff.

We are running production this week trying to get caught up. We were scheduled to run 50% and had to bump it up.

We would be glad to help more, and will when we can.

If you dig into it, you should be able to find the wire issue. Also check the amp draw of the pumps. and lights. You will need a $20 votlmeter with amperage functions to trace it all.

It has been an issue in one of the small connectors which has gotten corrosion over time also. These usually are the ends on the terminal strip end, where moisture is always present in the bilge.

We would be glad to help when we get a chance. Since you are in Salem and willing to go it on your own, give it another shot, and then defer to us on the matter.

Good Luck!

According the manual we have for the weekend, the #1, 4, 34 and 35 pins are Positive leads while the #3, 7, 20 and 26 are ground pins. Some may not be used,probably three (3), though we can not tell you which ones now. The number one pin should be from the master power.

There should be two feeds for both ground and positive.
