Breakaway, if it was there initially, I don't recall it. It is constant and seems to be getting worse. This week there was interference in the audio systemjust from the engine running- humming in the background. If tghe Nav lights or blower are turned on while the audio system is active there is a huge pop, then the hum. I haven't done the ground wire mod. I have only had the darn thing 5 or 6 years - I hate to rush things. Actually:
1. I am not sure where to connect as I don't have the newer computer/terminal strip that all of the "new" Epics have.
2. At my age, contorting the body to get underneath the dash is still possible - getting up from there may not be.
3. I keep hoping that the next time I start the engine, the problem will have gone away.
Unfortunately, all of these are true so pick one and you will see why we need a Round Up!
I would sell the darn thing back to that very nice guy but I don't think he could afford it. I can't help but grin when the engine starts. There is something about the sound of the E21 that other boats (including the bigger Epics) just can't match. Then when I head to the end of the cove, turn on a dime and punch it, well, I grin again. Sorry Bill, I love it. However, you will always have first dibs if/when I sell it.
