Mercury 700sci problem
In keywest and trying to fix my 700sci. Engine will hardly run. Smartcraft reads boost valve error and ICA error. The engine is running rough and buzzer will not shut off. Anybody got suggestions. My boat is a 42 Fountain and has the name SLATER on the back. If anybody knows how to fix this my cell number is 901-335-1203. Thanks Andy Smith

My batteries always had a good charge in them. It would happen at the end of the day during a poker run where the motors were running all day. My mechanic said he saw this problem with a lot of Fountains. I didn't learn about the batteries until I lost my second computer.

Can someone explain what the battery have to do with the IAC? I know the IAC is a elecrically powered mechanical part that is constantly moving while the engine runs and just figured they were prone to failure.
I had a IAC go bad on my old Eliminator and one on my 42 Fountain but never on my 38 Fountain. The eliminator had starting batteries, the 38 had a starting battery on one side and deep cells powering the other side. My 42 has the original betteries, but I am not sure what if they are starting or deep cell.

Sorry, but I have to call "BS!" on that one. Sounds more like Mercury grasping at straws to get off the hook. If it's true, then this is a great example of inept engineering.
