Got a slight electrical problem w/my MRC walkaround. When I disconnect the plug from 1 outlet & move to another 1 my engines slow down or stop.
I sent the unit back to MRC & they said there wasn't anything wrong w/it.
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
I did find 1 of the female outlets were bad & I'll replace it soon.

Larry,
Usually I find that one of the jack phone connectors didn't get crimped sufficiently.

This week I replaced all of the female phone plugs. It still happens. When I disconnect from 1 plug to move to the next one the engines stop or slow way down, just as before, before I changed all the plugs.
I also took the coiled wire off of the unit & replaced it w/a plain 12ft. 6 wire flat phone wire. At the plug just above the main transformer it doesn't slow down when I move to another plug. Mostly at the farthest plug.
I contacted MRC & they said that no one has ever had that problem, in other words, they don't know how to fix it either.
