I did check out the thermostat sensors and replaced one that appeared corroded after the initial shut down. Unfortunately, the engine shut downs continued. Since arriving home and thoroughly checking out the situation per above, I have had no additional episodes. Ran the engines hard and...

I am still attempting to recreate the problem-without success. Hopefully I have cleared some type of fuel block by changing the Racor filter, priming pump, examining fuel lines etc. For me, the crucial but confusing issue is that after engine shut down, the engine would turn over but not...

The engine quits suddenly and rapidly. The bulb seemed well pressurized the one time I remembered to check it. I have recently run the engine at 4500 rpms for 15-20 minutes twice without issues! Will attempt to recreate the problem this weekend.

The priming bulb worked fine (I replaced it just to be certain.)Electrical connections look good. Water stream indicator from motor is good.

With only 270 hours use, my starboard Honda 135 hp engine suddenly quit while accelerating during a lengthy trip. Despite a well charged battery,adequate good non-ethanol fuel, adequate oil, I could not restart the engine for over 1 hour. No audible alarms or warning lights appeared.This same...

Marc, I disconnected that little CO detector hidden under the steering wheel. Also have emailed Blue Sea to see if I can disconnect the backlight without affecting the other distributer panel functions. Love the Tomcat, but I am a bit electrically challenged! Happy 4th! Marc

Many thanks for the prompt and informative responses. (This is my 1st post as a newbie.) My concern is similar to Roger's-how do I get a 25% voltage drain from a 2.1 mA leak? I wonder if this 3 month old battery is starting to fail. I have already replaced one failed automatic bilge pump...

My recently purchased 2008 Tomcat has a mysterious (to me) parasitic battery drainage that I cannot track down. I have 3 new Interstate deep cycle class SRM-27 batteries installed by Marc Grove-one of which is the house battery that is continually losing voltage. The alternator on the charging...
