I have the 998csi combo, and it does have an optional wire you can purchase that will project the same screen out to a monitor. That is how I have the unit on my boat, the actual unit is mounted on the helm with the cord running up to the bow, and I have a cheap 15′ computer monitor attached to the front of my boat for viewing. I do still have to return to the unit and use it’s controls to change views or recalabrate, but the picture is actually clearer on the bigger screen.

Not sure if your unit offers the ‘external’ video screen, I’d suggest calling hummingbird and asking them about it, that’s how I discovered my unit’s capabilities.

Should have gotten a rain check on that one!!!

Not sure what kind of pumps you have, mine look like these:

I had a similar problem with mine where neither well would hold water when they were stet to “fill”. I removed the pumps and cleaned them out. A TON of trash came out of them, it almost looked like calcium build up. That quickly fixed the problem and I can keep my wells filled for day at a time if I don’t open them up.

Big G mentioned a good point. I know so of the yamaha primer bulbs are finiky and need to be held with the arrow pointing straight up in the air in order to prime from a dry line.

May want to give that a try also.

BINGO!!!! The primer I’m using is not a yamaha primer, it’s actually one I bought from a local marina. However I did as you suggested, due to the line length I was only able to get it to a 45` angle, with the out end above the in. 6 pumps and the primer was solid!!! I think I may go and spend a few extra $$ and get me a decent primer, thanks!!!

Don’t get mad at this but are you sure there is fuel in your tank?

lol That did hit me earlier. I was using the starboard tank and I know it’s low, so I switched to the port tank, it’s totally full.

I think I’ll try to by pass the separator for now to see it it works, if it does then I’ll see if I can get a new filter and hopefully that will fix it. I’ll post back with what I come up with.

Thanks so much for all your help everyone!!

No not holding pressure. I can’t get it to prime hard at all. I haven’t changed the water separator out yet, was asking if that could be the problem? I’ve been pumping it about 50 times every 30 minutes for the past 3 hours and it still hasn’t filled up the inline fuel filter inside the motor.

Okay the primer and the inline filter are both directional. I have checked and double checked them both and they are correct.

I guess my question now is, how often do those water separator filters need to be changed? I’m guessing this one has never been changed. Would it limit the flow after a period of time or should I go ahead with some of the above suggestions of checking the other lines?
