    Hot water heater

    This all sounds good- but- what would be the explanation for why has this now become an issue on a 2006 boat? It would seam that a waterheater would be a pretty simple contraption! Externally, I see only the one valve - possible that valve has failed? I found not see cold water line for water...

    Hot water heater

    Intersting thoughts- if it indeed is leaking coolant into the water system it's not real apparent. Can't really go by the reservoir, unless it was just empty. I popped the engine heat exchanger and it was pressurized and full - so I'm suspicious of diagnostics but don't have another...

    Hot water heater

    Good morning! I'm reviewing your comments, thank you for posting your thoughts. The boat is a florida boat so perhaps it was not set up for winter? The boat had 50 hours on it when I bought it. It did come down from the panhandle which can get pretty darn cold- maybe someone has messed with it...

    Hot water heater

    Ok- think this one got figured out. There must be a small leak in the heat exchanger inside the water heater which is pressurizing the system with really hot water- so the water will run, super hot without the pump being turned on. From what I read is not serviceable- but what i read today, the...

    Draw on battery 1

    Yes, it has been frustrating. As long as I was bringing it home and keeping it charged I managed to get by a bit- the auto parts store was getting pretty tired of seeing me. I should have been disconecting both of the batteries until I got this far- I had various other "priority " items like...

    Draw on battery 1

    One more thought...is my offending device possibly in a circuit so that if I pulled fuses rather than wires I might track it down and little quicker? I have seen some standards on wire colors used for specific purposes...but not sure that would be conclusive? Trying to follow wiring seems like...

    Draw on battery 1

    I will move forward- however I will have to get back to the boat.

    Draw on battery 1

    Also, there are only two wires, other than the +/- cables (for genset i believe)

    Draw on battery 1

    Thanks for the detailed trouble shooting-one thing I want to clarify, especially if someone else will be following this later. If I'm doing it correctly, checking for the amp draw is with the cable disconnected, mm on 10 amps and checking between the neg cable and the neg bat because that's...

    Draw on battery 1

    This is a 270 of a friend of mine and would have to assume would reflect mine also. I don't think anything was added to the boat other than factory. It does have an amp i do not know what the power source is. Thanks!

    Draw on battery 1

    Thank you sir for your reply! I'm sure you can detect I'm not a proficient electrical person - basic trouble shooting, checking relays I can do. This I understand is going to be hard for me to figure out. You have my set up. Our boat is a 270 Rinker. I do have the two batteries with a battery...

    Draw on battery 1

    I have always had a battery issue. I did the following test on the system. As far as checking, multimeter on 10 amp max setting. Ignition is off- battery switch is off. I have not rechecked battery 2 but it was dead 0 on the draw. The only thing I'm sure i should have done but did not was...

    Hot water heater

    Ok, back in the water. Someone else suggested with the boat running and the pump switch off, if the water comes out than the heater core is bad...but that would say that it is hot water coming off the heat exchanger circulating in the heater and not coolant. These heaters are not cheap! Would...

    Hot water heater

    Im going to be back at the boat and will tedt it again. There was only a colld line going to that faucet- but will check the other ones. I agree it does not make sense.

    Hot water heater

    Im closed cooling- raw water cools the heat exchanger. I have a separate pump just like a car for the coolant.
