Cruise assist/No wake issue on port engine

[GiddYupJoe]

Just noticed this morning that the cruise assist no longer functions on the port engine. Works like it should on the other.

Any ideas where I should start the trouble shooting?

battery voltage is a common problem with getting no wake to engage, one will work but not the other,

does it try to engage, lights up while your holding the button but never "catches" or do you not get any response?

So the only thing I did different from the last outing was replace my house battery. So I guess I will start with checking all the terminal connections.

I don't have any lights or anything that shows if it is engaged or not? The one that works... Just works like normal. No indicators.

But hey... The new battery got rid of my six power alarm problem so win win right there.

you should get a "no wake 1" on your LCD when it activates, the manual did say they have to be at idle for 5 seconds before you attempt to engage no wake,

on my boat when the voltage gets low you can hear it increase the rpms but as soon as you let the button go it returns to idle,

Well.... The weirdest thing just happened. I stopped to have our obligatory Bloody Mary at Indian head and on the way home everything works fine! See how it goes the rest of the weekend.

Any time! Wouldn't you stop EVERY time you were at the lake! Cheers.

That's right boys and girls -- today we learned that alcohol IS GOOD for you!!

Drinking up = fix your boat. Could you need another reason?
