No this is totally isolated from the engine. No charging (except from at home). I use the 24v for trolling motor and 12v for for stereo. Dont have to use both at the same time.. now i am taking the plug off the terminal and on when i switch, just want a switch to push/turn in stead.. is that...

Hi. I would like a spare tire for my trailer, but i can not see anywhere what the bolt pattern is.. (yes i can see that its a 5 hole..) Is it 4-1/2", 4-3/4" or 5" how to measure or lookup? Thanks..

The purpose is to switch the batteries output between 12v and 24v (just one of them will then be connected to 12v).

Hi all, I have two 12v batteries connected to create 24 V, thats fine. I also have some accessories that only uses 12 V. I dont need to use them all at the same time. I also only need 12 V from one of the batteries (not both), which is why the 12c acc. is connected to the neg of one of the...

Ok many thanks for the feedback. I would like to exchange it for a new one but which? I guess if i exchange it for an original one thw issue will be the same? I dlnt understand how it could run off a starting battery? There is no pull cord to start it (and good luck doing that with a 115 hp)...

Thanks. I have looked at all the cables they seem fine. This is the battery I use. What are the consequences if the issue remains?

Oh sorry. Its a 1996 115 hp mercury 2 stroke outboard

Hi all. Yesterday i saw my voltage on the gauge and on my garmin gps showed 17.2v it stayed like that for a minute or two and went back to 14 again. Then it happed a copule of times again. No effect on the engine or any electrical parts. The rpm was between 1000 and 2500 no changes of voltage...

Hi guys. Just as promised a follow up. I did order one of the items below and i have attached some pics on how it fits. Overall it works good and the build quality seems ok. The color is a not quite white but seems to have a blue-ish tone in it. However the existing hole for the cupholder is...

Ok thanks just to clarify: when you say plate, you mean the faceplate, right? Which heads are you refering to, to pop the "heads off"? Any possibility to flush this "backwards", when the lower gear and impeller is off?

The impeller was changed on April 1st (this year), together with a major service. Thanks, thats also my thought, I will have a look at the impeller and plate/housing. However the fact that the engine is not overheating (at what degree F will the overheat alarm go on?), I suspect that the...

Hi good folks, This weekend i hit a shallow water before I could get the engine up and the boat out again. Long story short, the engines telltale is very weak/or non existing. Sometimes it comes on and then its off again, irrespective of engine RPM. I have been running the enigne 2 hours since...

OK, thats interesting. I can see that my Commander 3000 has the sticker saying Sep 18 1995, so its just out of the recall, and my HIN ends in 7AXXX.. Any of you knows the Uflex B184 - 38946 D? This seems from their webpage that these can be used with the existing gen I cables (with a connection...

Hi all, my Quicksilver Commander 3000 control body (remote throttle) is acting weird, especially with the "throttle only" button (wont come out), and I have reviewed all the options, and many parts are not available anymore. So I might have to change the whole remote control body, so my...

OK, thanks, I actually also found these (https://mateseries.com/product/abs-plastic0o-rod-angleround-topdrain-at-bottom/), which also seems functional. (I have nothing to do with the company) I will order one, to see how it fits, and also its useability and functionallity, and post it here.
