I have this causing my SES light to come on. I have replaced the (4) O2 sensors... Which was probably needed anyway(?) . But, the problem still exists. I added fuel injector cleaner, yesterday, and have only went 40 miles since adding it. (as I am assuming the problem is plugged or partially plugged injector or 2). Would this be a correct evaluation of the problem? The thing is I went to checker to use their "free" code reader and the code I believe was p0170, and there was the EVA deal flashing on the top of the reader as well, this is apparently a brand new, updated code reader? I should have written it down, but, anyway, the reader also said that on bank one and two the fuel pressure was at 10.2% and the other was at 8.4% on both banks, (I do not know why the two different psi's). Or is my problem something else? Fuel filter is about 8 months old. I can clear the SES light but it will come back on after about 50 miles.
As for now the truck is running fine with no problems, if it is the injectors can you clean them or just replace?
I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought.
Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just
buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
Congrats on the motor! I think you’ll like it.
I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers. 160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.
Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor. Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to
get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius)
says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
