Gauge Calibrations – Smart Craft

After all the headaches I went through I needed to recalibrate fuel, oil, and trim. Trim was easy, but fuel and and oil are way off. Any tips other than to just follow the procedure in the SC manuals?--Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com

Default mode is easiest. BCB

Default shows I have 19 gallons of fuel in full tanks when I tell it I have 26s. LOL.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com

Default should go to percentages and not gallons. You have to go into the settings for fuel tanks in the set up mode and program your gallons for twin 26 gallon tanks. On newer hulls with saddle tanks, you have different capacities, thus you only use percentages. BCB

TWIN 26 GALLONS? I figured you just programmed it like one 26 gallon tank since they switch to the guages through the BCB switch panel. I go to the fuel tnak setup (4.X version gauges) enter 26 and then default, and I get a display of gallons.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com

That would be correct, and the other tank should be your oil reservoir. BCB

Since it has two tanks switched thru the BCB board I just set it up for one tank. I think the differences on the oil tank may be a poor sender. I filled the oil tank all the way up and it reads 2.9 gallons. At 2 gallons it read 1, and at 1 it read empty. I have run one fuel tank out. If I have time I think Ill try and go through the regular calibration sometime this week for the fuel tanks instead of the default. The default is way off for either tank.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com

SC gauges will handle either two tanks, or one and the oil reservoir. Not both tanks. Something is different in the new PCM, as that is the data driver on the gauges. BCB

Ok, well there are seperate setup options in the menu. Since I didnt setup tank 2 I guess it doesnt matter.–Bob La Londe Forums, Free Lures, Product Reviewswww.YumaBassMan.com CNC Molds N Stuffwww.CNCMOLDS.com
