Eric, I have never had water in my fuel filter, perhaps as a result of my fuel polishing system, and would like to eliminate the wiring and sensor. Don't I need a different setup under the filter? Whe

I installed a new flow sensor that I had in my spares. I also replaced the impeller. The existing impeller did not look too bad but it appeared that one vane had adhered to the impeller hub, perhaps f

Hi Tom and Kirstin, I also have had at least a dozen shutdowns in the 17 years that I have owned Sabbatical III and in every case there was a shutdown code, including shutdowns due to a faulty sensor.

On my first sail trip of the season, my Onan MDKAV shuts down under load after 15 to 20 minutes. No blinking codes. Does not matter is the load is from the watermaker or AC. It does not shut down from
