kinda like i suggested in my earlier post?......... The rectifier on these are usually pretty solid, as are the tacho's, usually The majority of rectifier related issues (leading to rectifier/taco and/or horn issues) is usually battery/lead/battery switch issues, rectifier gets confused and outputs excessive charge and frys things/itself While the workshop manual is good it wont tell you this, this little nugget comes from 25yrs as a marine tech and owning various versions of this motor since its inception in 1995 I currently own a 2006 edition of the same motor, last season the voltmeter on the fishfinder started reading 18-19v after approx 10-12mins of running, inspection of battery showed a cell breaking down.....replace battery and everything settled down to 14v at cruising rpm, i have absolutely no doubt that continued use would have eventually cooked the charge circuit and tacho, as i've seen before Not saying its definitely the case for you, but dont limit yourself to what the manual says Dont mean this to sound like a pi$$ing match but i do feel compelled to correct/enlighten you on the odd comment |
