Hi gary

Been there...here are my last 4 trips out:

1) Volt guage is reading low, but my tech says something is wrong with the guage so ignore it. Lights start going dim. Elec riggers won't pull up, have to pull them by hand. We were able to make it back to the marina. It turns out my new, 2 month old alternator died. Then my tech says it's reading 1.5 volts lower than actual, but should always register something.

2) New alternator installed. Next trip the engine stalls. Change the battery switch to emergency parallel, pulled all the lines and motor back in. Turns out it was a bad battery. The battery was replaced.

3) Fished for the morning then anchored at shore and took the kids on the dunes. The boat wouldn't start. Had to get towed back in. Turns out the starter died.

4) Last trip it was something in the lower unit that went. Started making a nasty sound as we motored in like someone dropped a wrench in the prop. I slowed it to an idle and went in the rest of the way that way.

I'm afraid to go back out!
