I have an 04 optimax 225 (serial number oT973057)that has a howl at idle or no wake and when cold and I first start it up. Everything runs pretty much perfect. No misses, coolant temp, water...
goit it figured out. you use the solix y cable (14 pin connector) with the helix 10' cable that comes with the package
Was wondering if anyone has already done this or knows what is needed to run the Y cable for mega 360 when you have a helix unit and a built in mega DI transducer with an ultrex. If you are running...
I was looking at the vmax batteries. two xtr-135 for 80lb ultrex and either the northstar group 31 or xca-31 battery for my cranking and accessories battery. The xca cranking battery recommends no...
Thank you very much
also it is a 2004 optimax 225 on a 2002 ranger 520dvx
engine serial number 0T973057 and seastar part number hc5345. I am looking for the torque values of the nylock nuts that go on either end of the steering cylinder shaft and the support bracket on...
thanks for the info guys. I think it is more just looking for something to tinker with. I did have a couple of overspeed alarms come up on the run history. 1 instance was before i bought it and he...
I have an 02 520DVX with an optimax 225 (04) currently running a fury 3 blade 25P prop and hitting low 60's holeshot is pretty good and I think I am running at about 5700WOT. Was thinking of trying...
I just wanted to say thank you Don and Rhonda and Savage for all of the advice. I Ran the boat on the muffs per the service manual I got from European Marine and never got an alarm. Took it out to...
Savage even though this only happens very first start of the day? I idled a long time when we got back to the ramp and it never did beep again. I just got it back from the dealer who said they had...

It comes on. It had 3 short beeps this time. Then looked at the vvm and the alarm wasn't in the observed faults but had the triangle so I tapped on it and brought up that fault.
Alarm says thermostats as the title. Then when you open it up it says coolant temperature relative to a specific threshold. The value is to low
New thermostats installed. They seem to be operating normally. I can see the coolant temp cycle up to about 134 and then back down to 116-117 then back up. I am still getting an alarm for...
Ok I called again because they still have not called me about my motor being done. THey said the thermostats are on backorder. so I was looking and found two part numbers it looks like both will...
So I took it to another dealer. After about a week and a half they finally got to my boat this is a busy time of year especially for the northern part of the states. They did find a few grains of...
This is all a bit confusing to me. I keep hearing that stuck open thermostats at idle will cause the motor not to come up to temp. I feel like my motor is getting to hot at idle and it smells as...
I don't know if he was talking about in gear while trolling or what. I agree though. I think you and Don are on the right track with the thermostats. I really do appreciate your guys input and...
savage this is the guy that was working on my boat and runs the the boat shop closest to me. only one within an hour that ill step into actually. I was reading the idle is controlled by the ecm but...
Thanks Don. I kind of feel like it mat be time to go ahead and replace the thermostats anyway. I'm going to ask the original owner of the boat when the last time he had them changed. The motor...
thanks i will have to give that a try
Well I was out on the lake again yesterday and on a long idle I got a beep at the dash. pulled my phone out and it said thermostat alarm. checked the coolant temperature and it said 118. went back...
Thanks. And I just thought I might use it while spider rigging or trolling crank baits for crappie. I think your right. Not really necessary but I talked to minnkota and they do not have that...
