2013 DF250 with 600 hours on it.
Engine interface cable to NMEA2000 which goes to a Simrad NSS evo 3
Short version:
I have intermittent data going to my MFD and an engine that seems to turn itself off for no apparent reason; anyone had something similar happen?
Long version:
Two weekends ago I put the boat in the water after the winter, fired it up to take it to the slip and noticed that I wasn’t getting engine information on the Simrad, this has happened once before so I just ordered a new engine interface cable, put the batteries on charge and thought no more of it.
Fast forward to this weekend, I install the new interface cable and I’m getting sporadic fuel information, any data in regards to fuel flow, level or range blink on and off without any pattern.
Took the boat for a ride so we head out of the inlet, I raise the throttle up and the engine cuts off right as it passes 4000 RPM. I think I heard two beeps from the alarm but can’t be sure.
Turn the key off, put the boat in neutral and it started without hesitation.
Let it idle a bit and slowly raised the throttle to get up on plane and we continued on for about 15 minutes with speed in all ranges including WOT, fuel information would come and go.
We were only out for about an hour and the Engine shut down three other times; but always started right back up.
Has anyone had a similar issue with intermittent engine data along with stalling?
