    too much voltage?

    Unusual to have a 100 Hp outboard with an unregulated charging system. What year and model is your motor? If your reading true voltage, some electronics will take issue with it being so high

    6Y5 fuel management gauges ??

    You should get TGU and GPH. Sounds like TGU is reset each time you turn the key. With my Flow Scan system I get TGU since the last time I reset the clock. Might want to check if that function is configurable In effect your are averaging consumption over a hour. You will not get a viable GPH...

    Wiring diagram, is it correct?

    Daisy chaining all the grounds and the power to the two nav lights reduces the number of wires running from bow to switch panel down to 3, GRD, NAV and LED. Terminate “bow” and bilge GRD on battery. Daisy chaining the power thru the switch panel reduces panel to battery and isolator to 1 wire.

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

Went 8 years before a caliper started acting up. Swapped them out for KodaGuard coated calipers two years ago. Will have to see how they...

    Should I replace my surge brakes with electric on my boat trailer?

    You got that right….. Surge disc on the boat and electric on the horse trailer. Have spent more time messing with electric brakes than all other electrical problems on both trailers combined. Spent an hour this morning under a 2 year old horse trailer after Mrs. Dingbat complained of...

    Soak Bearings in Rust Remover?

    Steel is not porous. Your confusing porosity with surface roughness. Porosity would impart significant problems on the use of mass adsorption and X-ray fluorescence to measure thickness of, or coatings on, metallic substrates.
