twinn29,

I've been having the same problem. I am still under warranty so I have had it back to the shop three times with the same result. I think they replaced the relief valve once already. I just take tie wraps and tie wrap them open. I don't want to have any down time so I will deal with it in the fall.

DaveM - I could wire them open, Ive thought of it, but I go through a lot of locks and open pipes are pretty nasty in there, I dont want anyone throwing things at me, might scratch the paint.....

Happy ending- Fixed some leaks with the official plastic furrels from the Merc dealer,had about two and a half of them working but the big thing seemed to be that the positive connection for the silent choice on the battery was kind of corroded and was the top connection with about three below it, I cleaned them all up and put it "second" in line from resting right on the battery terminal itself, all of them working now.........Doug
