Problem

Post by culrich »

Hey Folks, having a little problem with the Hewes. The boat wouldn't crank this morning so I put the charger on it until lunch, I got home and nothing. I trailered it over to the Eastpoint Napa to get a new battery, figured that would solve the problem....Nope. With a new battery, all power works electronics, lights, tabs, powerpole, and so on. The tilt and trim will not work and the motor will not crank. Any of you guys have any ideas? Wefings is closed so couldn't get it checked out.

Thanks, Carson
