I took my 16 out for one last ride before the big weekend and it just shut down... I think I have a voltage problem to my fuel pump.. only getting 9.6 volts there ...I think I will be bumming rides next weekend... crap !

If all the other voltages are ok, it has to be a connection or a ground. What voltage are you geting across the battery while cranking?

Running or not...bring it...

We have tools, parking lot tech session anyone???

Your fuel pump voltage should be the same as your battery/alternator voltage. If it's only 9.6 key on-engine off, then your battery took a dump... Why did it take a dump? because Matty needed a new battery, and you got his somehow.. :D
The fuel pump relay needs to see at least 10.5-11.8 volts to cycle properly. A good static battery should produce 12.2-12.3 volts. If your battery is 12.0-12.3, then you have a bad connection at the circuit breaker, or relay(s) pair.

You are not getting out of bringing your boat that easy. I have a tow rope and a paddle if you need it. biggrin.

Some people will do anything to get a ride in my 18. :p
