The fuel pump is mechanical so unless your cranking it over you won’t hear much , have you tested the dc dc convertor for voltage in and out ?

Hmm I’m not sure about the quality , many Targa 47s are now of an age where the linings are sagging , the cupboard doors are flaking , loss of gloss finish , I even went to look at one that had a factory refit as it spent time in the far east soaking up the humidity. The V48 is a far better...

It is easy to check just lift the saloon settee cushions , if it’s not been done you will definitely see cracks , Desty Marine carried out a lot of them so make your surveyor earn his keep when he surveys it for you . Paul Homer I believe was in charge of the recall or did the checks on a few ...

I’ve never been an owner , was very close after selling the Phantom 43 . I’ve serviced many over the years , very well put together boat , a bit tight rear of each engine , lazarette area difficult and small compared to other boats of similar designs making generator difficult to service and...

Tomorrow pls

Swap with flybridge or whichever one isn’t faulty . If you cannot get the red lights to illuminate on either station it’s not the keypad it’s the fault that relates to the code which won’t allow the red lights to latch , have you checked the fuse in the black box ? Is it one or both engines .

Nothing to do with the keypad , check the loom wiring and the crimp connection 3 wires , that was a recall many moons ago , the crimp connections go bad , cut them off and start again .

Nothing wrong with Tom but I too could give a list and say I wouldn’t .
