    Default Yamaha touchscreen

    Anyone with one of these things, after 2 days of charging through the onboard charging port, shouldn't the battery indicators be showing fully charged, or does the engine need to be running for it to show correctly?

    Have you tested the battery bank with a multi-meter?

    Might have a bad cell/bad battery dragging the bank down.

    I suspect that screen is warning of a problem. Or, you've just got a big load on the system without the generators producing from the motors.

    I've never seen those read to the top. That would be over voltage and an issue. The middle bar is charged and should go up with the engine running. Depending on your setup, the ACC may not be reading from anything. Press and hold the the battery gauge and see if you can select Digital Inset. This will show you actual voltage.

    It is new so I am guessing it is wiring somewhere or a bad charger from the factory. Shrimp boat guy told me they had been through 5 chargers in the last year with 2 of them being bad out of the box. I need to find the charger and see if there are indicators on it I reckon. I probably need to know what a multi meter is...

    It's reading 12.3/12.1VDC.

    Full charge will be something north of 12.8V.

    Could be a loose connection somewhere.

    Bust them big girls off and see what she reads with the generators running.

    Took me a minute to find it, but a Dual Pro. It has been about a week since I plugged it up, so I plugged it back up and will check later to see if there is any change. I need to be an electrician and a computer scientist to go fishing these days. Maybe I ran it down the 3 days I spent trying (and failing) to understand how to install Navionics on the Simrad...

    All of the extras sure are nice once you get it right, though.

    That would make sense. My dual Pro just turned a year old and is doing good on my 36v system. Put it in after the pro mariner crapped out. Have a Minn Kota charger on the house batteries that’s 5 years old and still kicking.

    Dual Pro's are much better than Pro Mariners. We switched to Dual Pro about a year or so ago after so many issues with Pro Mariners. The biggest issue with a Pro Mariner is how the banks charge. If it's a 3 bank, only 2 banks put out a full charge and the 3rd is just a trickle charge. Same with a 2 or 4 bank. One is always just a trickle charger. We have a Dual Pro on our 2001 Action Craft that is still kicking.

    Yessir, we had a Dual Pro on the smallmouth boat for 10 years that never let us down.

    A couple hours later they are coming up slowly...

    Hell I’ve had a new boat with that screen on it for two years and never knew you could touch it or whatever and change to the actual if number of volts vs the bar reading. Jab you know you can make that background on he screen white too? Mine was on that and I figured that out playing with it. Mine looks like yours now.
