Hey guys,
I've been trying to diagnose and fix my speedometer (Faria Commander) on my recently purchased 2005 22v. My Tachometer works well, and my speedometer depth seems to work fine. The lights on the speedometer work fine as well. When I start the boat, the speedometer needle resets itself either on 30mph or 10mph. It's not consistent. When I start driving and gain speed, the needle starts to move and usually gets stuck maxed out around 50mph. Overall, the needle does respond to speed but just movs erratically. The needle seems to always progress, and never come back. So in a short while it's soon maxed out and stays there until I turn the key off and on.
I tried calibrating the speedo in accordance to the Faria commander user manual, and it does not let me calibrate how the manual says it should work.
I checked the paddle wheel under the boat and it seems to move freely and isn't damaged. I also bought and installed the Nauticlogic gps conversion and this did not fix the needle on my speedo. I installed the Perfectpass patch cable from nauticlogic and wired it into my speedset cruise control with help from the nauticlogic guys and my speedset now works... a step in the right direction!! So, to me this points me to a faulty gauge... Is that reasonable?
Thanks to anyone for their time.
