| I have some more data on my engine issues. I tried to start it yesterday at the slip from battery alone and could not get it to start although it turned over just fine. I plugged into shore power and got it to start after several tries and at that point I realized that it was in gear (the transmission lever is sticky so it is hard to tell neutral from either gear). However, I was never able to get it to start with glow plug held in while starting. There was no response when I tried this whether on shore power or battery. It started up fine from battery several times in the course of the afternoon. However, after one of those starts, I noticed the GPS was restarting. Apparently the draw from the starter had caused it to shut off. I plan to measure the battery voltage next time I am down there as the boat will now have been sitting off shore power for a few days, so I should be able to get an accurate reading. I plan to eventually take off the engine panel and try to clean the starter and glow plug contacts. Anything else I should be looking at? Thanks- Dave David Knecht Aries 1990 C&C 34+ New London, CT |
