And Then Depression Set In, Part II

[ffmedic74]

Can you private message me also. I have had one key pad go out already and was fortunate enough to have someone give me a tow in. Supposedly the new keypads will last forever! Yah right!

Due to security reasons,

SOunds like you know how to start the engine with bypassing the keypad prefix. Am I right?

[NautiqueJeff]

Let's make it standard practice to ask your local dealer for this information rather than passing it freely amongst ourselves. I would rather not hear of anyone's boat being stolen due to something posted on this site.

Short of hot wiring it, I don't know how to bypass the keypad either. I would be curious to hear how it is done. Jeff, anymore info on your boat?

[NautiqueJeff]

No, nothing yet. I am taking it down to White Lake this weekend, and hopefully I'll hear something Monday.

My guess is that the keypad needs to be replaced. Do you have a friend near by with a nautique that has keyless ignition? You could pull out his and test yours real quick. As far as the over heat, rev the throttle in nuetral a few times and check it out to see if that gets some water going. Just running won't draw it quick enough sometimes on the initial start up for the year.

White Lake Marine

I just heard from White Lake. After consulting with Correct Craft, they have decided to replace both the PME box and the keypad. I feel very confident that replacing those parts will cure my electrical issues. Ken at White Lake has once again gone out of his way to make sure the customer is happy. He even went in and worked on my boat on Sunday night! Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up on Saturday, and spend the weekend at the lake.

My boat works again!

I met a guy at the lake today with a SAN with the Python engine. The engine cover sits higher than the two storage compartment covers. I guess the extra room is needed for the larger engine. That was the first SAN I've seen with the Python.

I think MD has a super sport with the python in it. The engine is a 454 so it is alot wider and taller than the 350/351 engines. Glad to hear your boat is working well. Just be glad there is a 5 year warranty!

Depression

I was at the lake today with my family. At the end of the day, I went to load the boat and just like Jeff, the boat (206 Limited) would not shut off. (And, it was starting to pour.) The perfect pass just displayed "???????????" and I couldn't get anything to work. I then remembered what Jeff had posted so I hit my blower button and sure enough, the motor shut off. Then it wouldn't start. (Rain is really coming down now. Five year old girl is really scared.) I noticed the status light to the right of the dash was not on. So I re-keyed the ignition code and the boat started right up--and everything was fine. I checked it a few other times while on the trailer and it seemed fine.

I wonder if I have the same problems as Jeff. The only thing I can think of, short of a problem, is that my 13 year old, while I was getting the trailer turned off the boat. (Had the heater on to keep the kids warm under idle.) She told me that she pushed the stop button 6 or 7 times to try and get the "little light" off--the key pad status light. Could that have confused things?

Any thoughts you guys/gals might have would be appreciated. Thanks.

That shouldn't have messed anything up. If anything is wrong, it is probably the keypad.
