For those of us in Atlanta area, we have had a bad time with Centurion dealers. I took mine to Erwin Marine in Chattanooga for service this year. Keep us posted on the new dealer.

Ignition button issue
Ditchdigger99 replied to InfinitySurf's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
I noticed the dark blue connector is different from all of the others. It has obviously been changed before. That would be a good place to start checking. Look closely at the crimp. If the insulation is crimped in the connector you can experience intermittent continuity. Pull on the connector hard, if it comes off you need to replace it. -

a few issues
Ditchdigger99 replied to FargoDawg's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
I notice my fuel gauge doing the same thing with my '16 Ri 237. I attribute this to a 'hysteresis' in the programming for the fuel display. Hysteresis dampens the effect of rapid changes such as sloshing, listing, and bow rise. If hysteresis was not part of the programming, you would see wild fluctuations in your fuel gauge readings. The depth and speed errors are likely due to out of range depth and speed inputs transmitted to the computer. If the readings persist, then the sensors that provide this information to the computer may be bad. I would expect that you would see a trouble code for this. -
greasing impellers
Ditchdigger99 replied to Maxpowers1207's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Some of the forums recommend using glycerine as a lubricant. Cole-Parmer chemical compatibility rates the compatibility of neoprene and glycerine as excellent. Wipe on prior to installation for easy insertion. I agree with all of the guys that say that keeping the impeller in the pump over the winter is a bad idea. I change mine each year in the spring. I also recommend investment in the Jabsco impeller puller. -

How deep is the water? Maybe a depth alarm? -
need feedback from all centurion owner. seat booster
Ditchdigger99 replied to Wakeballast's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
I like the idea. Does your plate mount with existing mounting holes and hardware or is there drilling involved? What is a ball park cost without shipping? -

Error message on 2016 RI237
Ditchdigger99 replied to doclocke's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
SPN (suspect parameter number)is "Engine intake manifold #1 temp". I don't have access to FMI (failure mode indicator) now, but my guess would be hi. -
Auxilary temp #1 high. I had this same code last summer turned out to be a sensor.

Finding new seat bottom stopper

Me too. They are local to me so if I order something in the morning, I get it before close of business that day. -
Finding new seat bottom stopper

Try this link. McMaster Carr bumpers -
Got the cooler, and a couple of window stickers with mine. I received the customer survey by email (X2) and by snail mail. Filled all three out. I received no response. I was pretty disappointed in my service from my original dealer. I don't know why, but the original dealer no longer has the Centurion line. I was referred to a new dealer. They are about 70+ miles closer, they have thus far been good to work with, and what is better is they corrected the previous dealers screw ups.

Carpet in lockers removed?
Ditchdigger99 replied to InfinitySurf's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
I have thought about putting Dri-Dek panels under my PNPs to provide ventilation. Has anyone else done this. -
My '16 ri 237 had a problem with rider settings last year. I put up with it last year and had the software "updated" at the end of the season. When I put my boat in the water at the beginning of the season, I had all sort of software problems. I took the boat to the "new" dealer and they loaded the correct software. No issue since. Many boat manufacturers put new boats out with software bugs.

Towing Avalanche with F-150
Ditchdigger99 replied to park6361's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
It sounds like the trailer brakes may not be as effective as you think. Warping of rotors is due to heat. Sounds like you are generating more heat because the truck brakes are doing more or most of the stopping. A 3/4 ton truck has lots more brake and will stop a trailer lots better than a 1/2 ton truck, but replacing a truck is lots more $$$ than rotors. -

Engine diagnostic codes
Ditchdigger99 posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
I have a 2016 Ri 237. Saturday I got an engine awarning the Engine diagnostic code is SPN:1386 FMI:15. Does anyone know what this code is? Boat only has 30 hrs. Just did the 20 and 25 he maintenance. Water temp was 160 at time of alarm. Oil pressure and level were and are normal. Tried acknowledgeing alarm and idling. The same alarm returns. Also tried disconnecting both batteries and acknowledgeing alarm with the same result. Thanks in advance for your help! -
Engine diagnostic codes
Ditchdigger99 replied to Ditchdigger99's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
The code SPN:1386 FMI:15 first appeared while towing a wake boarder. I only had 5 people in the boat ('16 Ri 237) including the rider with little to no ballast so I am pretty sure that I wasn't even close to bogging down the motor. When the dealer replaced the sensor, the alarm went away. -
Engine diagnostic codes
Ditchdigger99 replied to Ditchdigger99's topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Yeah. After a lot of torment from the dealer, (he kept the boat for the entire month of July) he replaced a water temp sensor. I think that I posted the table on another thread. See if this helps. SPN code table -
ri257 engine diagnostic code 1385
Ditchdigger99 replied to Danh's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Had a SPN: 1386 FMI: 15 and FMI: 0 in early July last summer. The dealer ended up having to replace the sensor. The 1386 is an auxiliary temp sensor #2. I found this from a "G" search. http://www.felixequipment.com/Documents/Suspect-Parameter-Numbers-SPN-Codes.pdf. Like enzo on LI said the 1385 code is the auxiliary temp sensor #1. -
Breaker issue, ri237
Ditchdigger99 replied to IROCNParts's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
I read this post the other day. Then I experienced the same problem on Friday evening. I checked all of the breakers and found the offending device. The terminations on both sides were loose. I reset the breaker and headed in. My son and I tightened those terminals and checked all other terminations Saturday morning. No problems on our Saturday outing. Thanks for the post. -

I saw that for Volvo too. I don't know what aux temperature is though. How about a sticky thread for fault codes?
