    VP DPS-A OXI outdrive with DTC=713

    The drive oil sensor must be reset whenever the drive oil is replaced. This procedure must be performed with the boat out of the water. You didn't post a serial number so I'm not sure if you have a DOQ module or if your ECM has the latest software. But assuming you don't here is the reset...

    Please post pictures of your helm when you get a chance. multiwake, when you turn just the stbd key on does the port gauge wake up? fireboy, do you have an override switch or just the green light? does your joystick work? If it does that would mean that the steering angle is just a display...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    First thing I would do is get a big bag of tie straps and a pair of side cutters. Take as many pictures of your engines, with special attention to the back and transom. Starting at the clean power connector on the stbd engine. Follow the clean power harness to where ever it goes. Probably going...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    I’ve been following along and trying to craft a reply, but every time I start typing something comes up. Here are a couple of thoughts. As near as I can tell the helm has two power supplies running up to it. I don’t have access to the complete wiring diagram so it’s tough to be sure. But the...

    New to me Colbalt, Overheating only while pulling tube or ski

    I suggest that you remove the flush cap and inspect the oring and rubber washer. Tight only matters if the seals are in good shape. Notice that Volvo made this cap with wrench flats, this is their clue to you. A lot like why battery connections are now regular nuts instead of wing nuts. People...

    New to me Colbalt, Overheating only while pulling tube or ski

    Do you have “silent choice“ or some other switchable exhaust? Do you have a depth transducer and where is it installed? When you replaced the thermostat did you make sure the bypass passage was clear, poke a coat hanger or some stiff mechanics wire thru? Your engine has a flush fitting, have you...

    Volvo Penta starter issues

    Maybe check with your service provider. Some offer mobile service calls. Ask for pricing and also what happens if the tech shows up but isn't able to fix the boat and it has to go back to the shop. I belive in customers being able to make an informed decision.

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    Something is wrong here, If the engine computer triggers RPM reduction it will also turn on the MIL light. If the problem goes away, RPM reduction ends immediately or at the next key cycle but the MIL will stay on for three trips. So if you have reduced RPM and no MIL light it's not the computer...

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    @gerryvz has an engine package with EVC, that includes the engine monitor screen. @showar01 doesn't have an EVC equipped engine so they won't have the engine monitor. Sorry but no way to clear codes without a scan tool. Remember that if this engine goes into RPM reduction mode the next time you...
