Hello, I have a 2004 Premier pontoon boat that will not start. I have battery power as the motor will raise and lower, the radio will come on, etc.; however, the engine will not crank. It worked well prior to putting it away for the winter. What can I trouble shoot? Is there a fuse? How can I tell if the ignition switch is bad? Is there a neutral switch that can go bad? When I turn the key, nothing happens. BTW, I have...
Hi Kevin, My friend has a 24 ft Lowe pontoon boat with a 50 hp Johnson motor – and he wanted me to ask you a question. One day he took it to the lake and started right up, ran it all day without any problems. That night, at home, it wouldn’t start. He tried again the next day, it started, moved it around didn’t start, did it again it started. He is wondering where to begin or what to look for. He believes...
Hello Kevin, I have 1970′s Mercury 20hp on my pontoon boat. I have to replace the ignition switch. My new ignition switch has five terminals, A M B M and S. My wires colors are red, black, yellow, orange, gray and tan. I also have a push button, which I believe is a choke. On the original switch, the gray ran thru the choke and the tan ran thru the switch and the choke button. Can you please tell me what goes to what?...
Hi Kevin, I need a little marine electrical help. I have a 2006 18′ Manitou Aurora pontoon boat and I installed a depth sounder over the weekend. While I was searching for a positive feed with my light tester I touched a connection behind one of my other gauges. I got spark and now I have no ignition power. I still have power to my radio and lights but not to my gauges or ignition. Any ideas? I’m hoping it’s just a fuse but...
Hi Kevin, My name is Brad and I was given your email address by a friend. He said I could email you with a marine electrical question I had for my parents’ pontoon boat. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. My parents have a 2006 18′ Suncruiser with a four-stroke Mercury 25hp outboard. The tach, fuel gauge, and volt gauge stopped working and I can’t seem to figure out the problem. I was thinking that the problem could e a common ground...
Kevin I am going to overhaul the boat wiring on an old Sun Cruiser pontoon. It will have the following accesories: Livewell pump CD Player Navigation lights Stern light Boat Horn Here’s me question: The power for the gauges…I have no purple wire or pigtail to go to the positive boat bus bar to power the gauges. Would I have to tap into the tach from the three pin connection from the controls to make this happen? Maybe the three female pins below keyswitch...
Kevin, I have a 2003 Premier Pontoon. It has a marine electrical switch panel that includes a stereo off and on. When any of the lights are on, a red light is on for that particular switch. The issue is sometimes when I turn one on, all the lights on the panel start randomly flashing, then after a few minutes it stops and only the one I turned on stays on. Thanks for your help in solving this boat wiring mystery. David Hi David....
Hi Kevin, I just rebuilt the motor in on my old Suncruiser pontoon and need your help with some of the boat wiring. Coming out of the ignition is a purple wire. Well, if I leave it hooked to the ignition, it gets real hot and keeps popping fuses. It seems to go to the positive side of the coil. Any ideas? Carl Hi Carl, Disconnect the wire from the coil, if it still pops the fuse, there is a short in the wire...
