Looking for some help with voltage bugs on my DS50. It has the 360 Sail drive and getting voltage fluctuations and warnings on the Auxiliary battery read-out while underway. Voltage changes constantly from 10.5 to 13.2 volts will occasionally beep and the drive system will reset and transmission goes into neutral. Voltage for Engine and house remain fine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The first step is to know if the voltage really is fluctuating at the battery or is the monitoring faulty causing you to think it is fluctuating. You need a simple
multimeter to measure the voltage at the battery and then check the voltage at the input to the display panel. If the voltage is ok on the input to the display panel but it reads low on the display the fault can be isolated to the display panel.
That is a good start.
Regards
Trevor

Thank you Trevor. I have two different voltmeters measuring the Aux current and both are fluctuating. I'm going to also check the connections on the negative ground to see if there is any voltage lost due to connection or possibly faulty wire.
