Hi all - Does anyone know the location of the compressor for the horn on a Vista 378? I assume it's probably near the horn, but I can't seem to find it looking at everything underneath near where I expect it to be.
The top side horn is very similar to this: https://www.marinco.com/en/p/10624
Update - We disconnected “everything”, put it back together and saw readings around 14V. Our working assumption is the alternator was bad - or at least the voltage sensing contact (as @alldodge alluded to) was bad. We did see a bit of corrosion on it. Have put a couple hundred NMs on it since...
Not sure I completely follow. It does have a generator - that has been off during this whole process. No inverters that we know of. AC comes from shore power or generator. DC should be coming from batteries that are charged via alternators or battery charger when on shore power.
Hi all,
I have a new to me 2007 v378 with Diesel Volvo Penta pods. We’ve just taken possession and first time out we noticed both battery gauges at the helm were showing high voltage (15V+). I’ve been debugging this with a very reputable marine shop (Washburns in Solomans Maryland) and we’re all...

I've...
Hi all,
I'm the proud new owner of a 2007 H190. We've already had her out a number of times this season and are coming up on the first 20 hours of engine time. I was surprised when I called to get a quote on this service that it is north of $300. The owner's manual describes it as an oil and...
All,
I've been trying to track down a spare wheel and tire for my Four Winns trailer, but have not been able to find an OEM replacement in stock anywhere other than at a dealership. iBoats show the exact wheel I'm looking for (Part# R-6615) at half the dealer quoted price, but it has been...
