Questions and answers

July 7, 2025

I have a 2003 38 Sundancer. I am getting an alarm when I accelerate for the first few minutes of running the boat. I hit the reset a few times & the alarm goes away. I can't read the Systems Monitor display as it is unreadable. In going to my Smart Craft Systems view, it tells me I have no current or alarms in History ? The water pumps were changes out last week. I have good water temp ( 165 ) & good oil pressure 50 - 52 PSI. Any ideas ??
