Hi all,
Any help would be MUCH appreciated! A planned trip to New England is in
jeopardy!
Engine instrument failure. Mercury SmartCraft VesselView, likely produced
from 2007 to 2012. It reads a variety of engine and generator conditions
(RPM, temp, oil pressure etc). In this application it is connected to a
Cummins QSB 5.9.
It began an intermittent failure (reading dashes instead of numbers) in
April. It was usually solved by waiting a few minutes or restarting the
engine. Last weekend it was reading the engine at startup then to dashes
and never recovered.
I checked all connections I could and talked to Mercury tech support who
walked me through a factory reset to no avail.
The engine starts and runs fine. Suspect it is the VesselView that has
failed.
Anybody with news of a similar failure and a fix would be appreciated.
Stay safe!
Bob
