    Raw water pump and tubing

    Good point. IF I'm looking at the right pump it draws 8 amp max, I'd go with a 15amp. Pump Model: SFDP1-030-045-33 Pump Voltage: 12V DC Pump Flow: 3.0 GPM Pump Shut-Off Pressure: 45 PSI Pump Max Amperage: 8.0 A

    Is it a single pump that you switch between fresh and raw water? What type of pump is it? Rule? Do you have easy access to the pump? When you're in the water and turned the raw water pump on drive the boat forward at a few mph. Some pumps get an air bubble that needs to be purged before it...

    It depends on what accessories you're talking about. Something that is 100% off when turned off is no problem. Something that constantly draws current is no good. As long as you use the boat or otherwise keep the batteries charged you wont have a problem. Same thing with your truck, use it, run...

    Also, if you have lead acid batteries you'll want to keep an eye on the electrolyte level to be sure you're not boiling the batteries dry if you have the charger on full time.

    With the lower unit off can you shoot water up into the tube that plugs into the water pump housing towards the pee hole? And be sure that when you reinstall the lower unit that tube is going into the pump housing. Did you replace the entire pump assembly or just the impeller? Does the impeller...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    Are you sure you're seeing white smoke and not steam. As I said in my first reply the water goes from the pump to the pisser then to the rest of the water jacket. If you don't have pisser water and there is no blockage the pump isn't pumping. If you ran the motor 5 min. with no water pumping the...

    Suzuki dt9.9 no water at taletale help!

    Are the fins on the impeller stiff or brittle? Sounds like it was exposed to heat by running it dry? Water lubricates the impeller, if it’s run dry, the impeller can be ruined in a few seconds. How long did you run the motor without seeing water from the pisser? As long as you can see the...

    Has it ever pumped water like it should since you've had the motor? Did the issue just start? Are you using muffs or is the motor in a tank? How old is the impeller? Replace it regardless. Did you run the motor for 5 min without it pumping water? The water flow is from the intake to the pump to...

    Installing an inverter

    To determine the cable size you need to measure the distance from the inverter to the battery bank and double that number. I just noticed dingbat already suggested the same as I did. Also just in case you didn't know not everything likes to be powered by a modified sine wave inverter.

    Installing an inverter

    1200 watts is a power rating not current. What are you powering with the inverter? Inverters convert DC to AC power.

    I guess I'll consider myself lucky that my concerns are waves and I don't have to deal with that mess.
