Thanks Don, when the rain clears im gonna give it another shot

Don, i added my SN to the post and my sig. Should the tank be facing bow forward at the pick up or stern? my pick up is oriented the right way.

DON, i was able to get the fault history and it appears to be a bad float switch in the bulk oil tank in the boat. i have since turned off the oil tank setting on my smartcraft until i can get a new...

Thanks Don, im actually going to get the print out hopefully this weekend. ill let you know what i find.

I'll check that float sometime this week
I hope that's not the issue because that's a new tank. Maybe 6 months old.

ill try that. Just unplug it or go into the settings and turn it off?

Thank you ALL for the info and reply's. Taking it back Saturday to drop it off. hopefully get it all worked out next week.

Savage, thanks for letting me know that... learn something new every day! Other than that do you have an idea of what or why I'm having the other issues?

also, when i run it at home on the muffs i can rev it up but when it comes back down it will die unless i feather the throttle

took it out today. She seemed to run fine at the start. still has the part throttle bog, but once your past that it jumped out of the hole and ran smooth. Ran steady for probably 15 min. shut it off...

My smartcraft does signal low oil alarm, but both tanks are full.

Im just trying to make sure the break in is done correctly and the bog was bothering me. Im gonna take it back out this weekend to give it another shot. im trying to get used to how the boat performs...
