So once in August my 2014 212x sounded an alarm just after starting the engines. My assumption is that one of the engines has a voltage problem because that's what flashed up on the display. It happened again in September. I'm going to make the assumption that the same engine was the culprit. Both times it just flashed "Voltage" on the display or something like that. I turned off the engine, gave things a rest and restarted and it did not have a problem. Same thing both times.
Then in October I put the boat away for winter we had a lovely sunset cruise with no issues. The day I flushed each engine I had no issues.
Recently I took the battery in for a simple test at Advance Auto Parts and the guy said the battery tested fine with 750ish (forget exact number) cold cranking amps. The only thing I remember prior to these events is having drained the battery one week because I left the battery switch on while I was on vacation. Came back and battery was dead. This has probably happened once a year while owning the boat...
My friend said I may have an alternator problem. You you folks agree? Are there 2 alternators, one for each engine in the 212X? What would cause a "Voltage" light to flash? Thanks...
