OT boat fixed

David G · Jul 18, 2016

My boat died out on the lake last week. I went through the things I could without a diagnostic tool, so took it to the marina in Dubuque today. One hour of service, a new IAC (idle air controller), and it is running. I still do not know why it would have shut down while at 3500 rpm on a cruise because of this, but it did. I guess that is just when it failed and the computer was not happy.

BTW, it looks like JD Seller has a 4440 for sale.

David, I was just on my way to post a message asking about the boat! LOL

That is strange the IAC would shut it down. Maybe it shorted to ground?

Yes, makes NO sense to me either, but guess the computer was not happy.

We have the same problem. With standby generators. So many sensors that have to talk to each other. One doesn't talk and the whole system shuts down.

You shoulda thrown those rims in and gave me a call.
I work in Cascade....

Good times, eh? Glad to hear you've got it fixed. Send more pics once you're cruisin' and catchin'.
