2017 Mercury 60 HP 4-stroke Command Thrust. Mercury Vessel View Mobile also installed.
The weather has been awful and just got her in the water today. Everything ran fine but on the way home I noticed on my VV readout that the voltage was only 12.2. I assume it should be 14 or so if the engine charging system were working correctly. I charged the battery up when I got home and it looks OK.
Stupidly, when I installed the battery after Winter in its tight little space, I accidentally grounded the terminals with the wrench, causing a spark. Could I have blown a fuse? If so where is it? My RV has a reverse polarity fuse - do Mercs have them as well?
Any help would be appreciated.
