2001 Voyager Pontoon boat

They made so many, and they all have model numbers! http://boatspecs.iboats.com/Voyager_Marine__Pontoon__2001/bp/32br2210bt7y They usually aren't so much 'warning lights', but rather to tell you that something is switched on, Nav Lights, Mooring Light, Deck Light, underwater lights etc. Not much in the way of manuals, but you need the model. Voyager is just the maker name. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Voyager+Pontoon+boat+manual ..

Motorguide Pro series 4300. Has power to the plug but won't spin. Does it need to be in the vertical position to run?

Dodging the answer, here is the contact number of motorguide for support; https://www.motorguide.com/us/en/contact-support.html MotorGuide Technical Service: United States/Canada: (920) 929-5040 M-F: 8AM-5:30PM EST or use the form on the above page to contact them. A sheared pin, a low setting on the speed control, or a breaker problem all can cause failure to spin. https://www.boats.net/catalog/motorguide/trolling-motor/motorguide-pro-series/complete-trolling-motor-model-mp4300-12-volt

2006 Volvo Penta 5.0 GL blows the 50 amp breaker and no power to the trim motor! I checked and removed wiring harness did not find any issues. I replaced both trim relays and looked at the key switch.

Question moved to a Volvo Penta Marine category from Cars. Check the starter motor and solenoid for a dead short. It would take something big to blow the 50 amp fuse.

Minn Kota Traxxis 80 Transom Mount Trolling Motor 80lb that squalled bad in reverse and dealer replaced lower unit it still squalls at half speed in reverse. Any ideas motor is just over a year old.

Question edited, removed 'Minnetonka', for the correct maker name. :>D Question moved to a Minn Kota category from Health and Fitness. If the repair was done under warranty, then that repair is still under warranty as it wasn't fixed. If you want to do it yourself, you would have to strip to find where the noise comes from and then rebuild with plenty of Lithium Grease.

135 etec starts hard 1/20 try's runs 10 secs or Les very poorly when starts. New plugs,gas,filter, fuel pump. Any ideas?

Based on the information provided, it seems like you have already checked and replaced some common components that could cause the described issue. However, there could be several other potential causes for the problem you're experiencing with your Evinrude E-TEC outboard motor. Here are a few additional suggestions to consider: 1. Ignition System: Check the ignition coils, ignition timing, and spark plug wires for any signs of damage or malfunction. Ensure that the spark plugs are properly gapped and the correct type for your engine. 2. Carburetor or Fuel Injectors: If your outboard motor has a carburetor, it may be clogged or in need of adjustment. Cleaning the carburetor or checking the fuel injectors for proper operation could help resolve the issue. 3. Air Intake System: Inspect the air filter and intake manifold for any obstructions or blockages that may restrict airflow to the engine. Make sure the air filter is clean and functioning correctly. 4. Compression: Low compression in one or more cylinders can cause poor starting and running issues. Consider performing a compression test to determine if there are any abnormalities in the engine's compression. 5. Electrical System: Check the battery voltage and connections to ensure they are in good condition. Faulty electrical connections or a weak battery can affect the starting and running of the engine. If you have performed all these checks and are still unable to diagnose the issue, it may be best to consult a certified marine mechanic or an authorized Evinrude service center. They will have the expertise and specialized equipment to diagnose and resolve the problem with your outboard motor.

Lowrance® Elite FS 9 Fishing System Fish Finder. I have time to time restart?

Question edited for a lot more clarity. All question need FULL 'make model (what it is)'. Question moved from 'Power Computers' to Lowrance. Your problem is in the boat. You either have a bad electrical connection, or a bad connection TO the transducer or the transducer itself is faulty. You can return the transducer under warranty or return it for testing. It is unlikely to be the internal memory IMO. Others report the same issue https://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-electronics-forum/614638-lowrance-elite-7-hdi-randomly-restarts.html Have you tried a Hard Reset.
