  1. I'm still getting used to this forum. Someplace I have a reply but here it goes again... I'm glad you found the right numbers for replacement capacitors. I tried to upgrade to the 35v ones as suggested but my electronics store didn't have them. I used the same as originals (25v). I did have a small problem getting the old ones off because I think the factory used a silver solder that melts higher than my small electronics iron could handle. I used my bigger gun type iron and it went fine. Just make sure you get a good picture of the hook-up before you remove the board so you re-connect everything right. Good luck!
  2. Dude! You are a life-saver. My 2007 Sundance 880 series went into watchdog mode when I changed the water in cold weather. I checked the capacitors as you suggested and found one of the two had a slightly bulged top. I should add that my local dealer serviceman here in upstate NY didn't get back to me for 4 days. I put a space-heater in the drained tub so it wouldn't freeze per the counter-girl's suggestion. When the service guy got back to me, he started quoting costs just to come out and look it over. He never showed when he said he would. I complained to the dealer and the service technician (if you want to call him that) seemed put-out that I was bothering him. I asked if he stocked replacement capacitors. He said they just replace boards at $600.00 ea. (without labor and service call fee). Long story short... I called my local electronics store and they set me up with 2 new capacitors for $5.00 each. I pulled the board and had them replaced (easy job) in 15 minutes. Board remounted following the picture I took before disconnecting everything. I filled the tub and turned on the breaker. Instant start-up and all indications in the "green". Back in business for $10.00 and no service call or new CB!! You are the man! Thank you very much. I will be taking my business to another dealer in the future.
