Doc,
im up in AR for the weekend and the boat just died on me while cruising speed. I checked two of the breakers; the one on top of the engine and the one by the battery. Both didn't help the situation by pushing them. In fact the battery one killed all the power. Does this sound like the...
I've got to tip my hat to Bt Doc. I've been busy with work, school, and a 7 month old. Doc helped me troubleshoot the problem. We knocked out possibilities such as the starter, solenoid relay/slave, battery issues, etc. After a few elimination and all that Doc said it's most likely your 90...
I will ill go back and reread. This is all Greek to me so there is a bit of a learning curve. I do have a multimeter but I'm brand new to it. I'm just asking for help as a layman. There is no unwillingness to follow instruction or attitude coming from me. Thank you again to all. As soon as my in...
I was asking to be talked to like a 3rd grader. I think you're misunderstanding my tone. I know I don't know what I'm doing. That's why I was asking to be talked to like a 3rd grader.
I can't do anything with that diagram but thank you all for your help none the less. Maybe I'll get there one day....errr year. I just became proficient at winterizing so this electrical stuff is probably a ways off for me.
It may very well come to that but if you all are willing to help I'd like to learn. I plan on being a boat owner the rest of my life so I'd like to learn if I can.
So, talk to me like a 3rd grader if you could. My battery is definitely good. When my buddy ran a screwdriver across the solenoid it turned the starter. He took that to mean that the starter was fine and that the solenoid was probably bad. Earlier in the post it was said that solenoids...
I don't see it. Can you circle it please? The only thing I see at 5pm is the 50A circuit breaker that has 2 red wires leading to it. The only thing in that general vicinity that has a yellow/red wire going to it is the power trim relay according to the part number
Just a final note for anyone that may have the same problem I'm having later and that finds their way to this thread: If you have a 2011 SeaRay 185 with a 4.3L Mercruiser Alpha One engine it it's very possible that you do not have a slave solenoid. I do not. I don't know why Mercruiser decided...
Also, there's this orange and black wire at the top of the engine by distributor cap that isn't hooked up to anything. The end of it is just wrapped in electrical tape. Not sure if that's supposed to go somewhere or not...
