Any body else having problems with their Suzuki smart gauges?


Recommended Posts

My NMEA 2000 gauges don't recognize my 2008 df140s most of the time. If I turn a motor on and off a half dozen times usually one will come on line. recently the port motor seems to have lost the amount of fuel burned and 3 hours on the meter when it came back on. The paddle wheel stop working and I disconnect it and moved the terminating resistor, this seemed to help a little.

thanks for any input.

Un-configure your engine interfaces (reset values on the display), then re-configure. And make sure you have GOOD VOLTAGE on your batts at all times...

I have alot of the same problems with mine. I am about ready to go back to analog gauges, alot simpler.

Thanks for the info Osprey,

I have the nmea powered by the house battery. The house battery is charged by a voltage sensing relay. Should I have it powered by one of the starting batteries? I have three 4 inch and two 2 inch gauges. I was going to disconnect the 2 inch gauges and install the new terminating resistors this weekend. When I reset the values will I have to start with naming the engines like the original install?

thanks, Joe
