Thanks guys I think I found the problem. Look at the picture I attached. I have 12 volts going to the starter but 0 volts on the other side of the nylon block. I’m assuming it’s some sort of fusable link? I should have voltage coming out of there also . Correct? If so I think it’s bad. I took it...
Battery load tested fine and full .Brand new cables also. I forgot to add that the circuit breaker on the dash was tripped. I reset it and it fired right up no issue. I may be wrong but if the alt is putting too much out wouldn't it trip the breaker?
update on my issue. after doing some checking with a voltmeter and test light I found that my alternator is putting out to the ignition switch 16.8 volts just off of idle on the hose. Way to high. Thinking this is what's burning up the contacts in my solenoid. Thoughts?
Thanks for the reply, guys. When I get home Ill snap a picture or two. does the solenoid need to be grounded thru the solenoid mounting plate? The person that had it prior to me actually left the old solenoid mounted completely disconnected and then mounted the new one to one of the terminals on...
On my 2.5 my starter solenoid keep going bad. I replace it and it will start up and run great. Go on the water and after 5 minutes running the motor dies and will not crank with the key unless I jump the large terminals then it will crank but no start. Replace the solenoid and it’s fine . I hate...
Yes I do have a compressor. What I should have stated in the first remarks is that we ran the boat the weekend after the mishap on the sandbar with no issues. Only thing is that I honestly cannot remember if the telltail was passing water or not. It was noticed 2 weeks after the mishap when my...
I have a 2003 f90 4stroke outboard. We noticed last weekend that there is nothing coming out of the telltail .New water pump beginning of the season and pumped great with a strong tell tail. I am thinking something is clogged because 2 weeks ago we were blown onto a sanbar hard and took awhile...
ok I inherited a 2013 20’ Bennington pontoon boat with a 2013 Yamaha 90 hp 4 stroke in it. It came with a 13 pitch prop. Does that sound correct? It has a great hole shot but not a lot of top end. I can’t go much over half throttle with out the motor over revving or cavitation. I check for a...
Ok here it goes. My brother inlaw bought a 17' bow rider with a 85 hp force on the back. They took it out and with 2 people on board it will only turn 4000 rpm. I'm thinking it should run more like 5500 rpm , right? I'm not there so I'm unsure of the prop size . My question is will any other...
