No, I placed all wires I found on the battery except for the greyish strange looking cable with a battery connecter. But seeing as the color was not black or red I did not connect
I believe you are correct in your terminology. Electric isn't really a strong point of mine obviously. I am getting 12v to the "distribution bar" on the hot side. Could it be that the negative side isn't properly grounded at all at the distribution panel? If so could I just run another wire from...
I took another battery inside the cabin and attached it to the receiving side of the bus bar. The side that bypasses all the 10 15 20 amp fuses. Then I connected the battery to the negative bus bar. Everything worked excepted for the rest of the cabin lights. Fridge, Trim tabs, bilge, blower...
I dont really know where to start since a light works and the lights on the panel work. The radio worked for a little but now I cant get it to do it again.
Its a black wire with a red line in it. Its the only wire that provides me a ground that is connected to the negative side of the bus bar. I wanted to post pictures but its not letting me. Sorry for that.
So, Iv ran into another problem. When I use a voltage meter to test the RED (60 amp wire) leading to my bus bar against my BLACK AND RED (That I assume to be my negative) I get 12v. When I attach the BLACK AND RED wire back to the bus bar it reads less than 1V across the bus bar....I dont know...
Iv been in the dark for quite sometime with a flashlight cleaning bus bars and connections.
What I have found so far is that I was able to get the radio to turn on for about 5 seconds connecting the HOT 12v cable directly to the HOT cable for the radio if I bypassed the fuse. Iv scrubbed the...
So I bought a 1988 Regal 255XL single engine. Boat for the age seems to get in great condition. Engine still runs Very well. Starts with no issues. I tinkered more though I am stumped. The electrical has me at a loss. I only add some facts because it might be relevant to you and I am overlooking...
I have a 305 V8 mercrusier in a 1989 Maxum. I had bought a new carb about a month ago and the engine was doing great. Then the gas tank got some water in it and it funked up the carb. I started trouble shooting it and found the needle valve had gotten stuck. I went to pull it out and the tip of...
That did it. It wasn't fully shot but it clicked when I got back home to flush the engine. Tapped w a hammer and turned over, so it's gotta go. I'll keep the old one on board for a spare.
Thanks for the information! Please tell me you have a trick to get the starter bolts off. Such a tight space I can't get any leverage. If I do it slips. No idea how ppl are getting these things off.
Hahahah! Thanks for the picture! I totally checked the wrong line..I accidentally checked this when I was taking the other letters nes off. I saw the ball and poked it a few times with my screw driver. It seemed to move pretty easily. Thanks again for the picture!
