    Saltwater eating my trailers...

    I only do saltwater with my galvanized trailer. Besides rinse, rinse and more freshwater rinse I use this. I touch up every couple of years but better than buying a new trailer. I've learned the hard way you need to wear gloves, long sleeve shirt and googles. You can not remove this stuff from...

    Yamaha 115 4stroke

    If your setup is like my setup was on my old 2 stroke there should be a small pump on the side of the tank in the bilge (sub tank). It's a small square pump that's actually two gears that turn to move the oil. I would check the voltage at the pump while you flip the toggel switch on, you may...

    12v Motorguide keeps frying switches.

    Good you found the issue. Is the bolt connecting the neg cable the proper bolt? Maybe it's just the way it looks in the picture but it looks like a screw thru a nut securing the cable.

    I'm not familiar with the type of switch your dealing with, can you post a pix of one? Two things come to mind. What are the DC current rating of all of the switches?

    Impeller Failure Help

    If you're unsure of the current condition of the impeller change it out. I've been told by a mechanic to run the motor every once in awhile to keep the impeller wet and flexible and to prevent it from drying out.

    12 volt issues

    Hopefully that was your issue and it's fixed. I'd check all the connectors you can get to and clean where necessary and spray some cleaner before reconnecting. https://www.crcindustries.com/products/qd-174-electronic-cleaner-4-5-wt-oz.html

    12 volt issues

    Not the fuse, it's either good or bad. Did you measure the 12 vdc at the ignition switch on the hot side or the switched side? Where did you measured the 3 volts at?

    12 volt issues

    If you're measuring the resistance of a fuse as 90 ohms you have issues, it should measure 0. How did you "Notice the voltage at the ignition switch reading 3 volt"? If you measured 3 volts you have an issue. If as you say " Its fine right now as i was messing with the wiring at the blower...
