    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    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...

    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    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?

    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    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?

    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    I attached a picture of the solenoide and that wire that goes nowhere. Please do not crucify me on the jerryrig mount of the solenoide.

    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    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...

    Keep blowing my starter solenoid up.

    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...

    Yamaha F90 no water at telltail

    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...

    Yamaha F90 no water at telltail

    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...

    Correct prop for a Bennington pontoon

    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...

    Question on a Force prop

    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...

    Recommendations on fuel additives

    I recently bought a new to me 2013 Yamaha 90 hp 4 stroke. This is my first 4stroke outboard and I want it to last and be as trouble free as possible. What should I be putting it my gas with each fill up on these newer motors? I run this motor every weekend so it see plenty of fresh gas but...

    Correct prop size on new boat

    I bought a 2013 Bennington 20' pontoon boat with a 2013 Yamaha 90 4stroke on the back from my inlaws. How do I know if the prop is the correct pitch and size. When running at 4500rpm it runs and pulls great but if I bump it up to 5000 rpm or more it acts like it starts to cavatate. The rpm's go...

    Johnson tilt / trim question

    Ok, my outboard is a 2002 Johnson 70 hp on a pontoon boat. Now the question. Is there supposed to be some sort of a limit switch on the tilt / trim? I have one switch on the remote so when I'm running and trim up it can actually trim itself right out of the water. Is this the way it's designed...

    Pontoon doggie ladder advise

    Any ideas on the best ladder/ramp for a pontoon? The ones that like cabelas sell attach to the rear ladder with brackets. Don't REALY want to attach there because we also use that ladder for people. Not sure what my options are here. Ideally would like something that attaches quickly and easily...
