If not in a marine application, why the 24 vdc? Just curious. There are many different types of float switches available for commercial and residential use, if that works for your application. I'm not sure, but they may not care whether it's AC or DC current! Just a thought!

yam 90 doesn't have a shift/drive shaft connection. The shift shaft slides in/out of drive shaft tube. Smaller yam hp engines has the shaft connections you refer to. The woodruff key can present challenges, fyi. Before dropping LU I recommend getting a service manual model/year specific to your engine.

A bilge pump does not remove 100% of the water anyways unless it is in a sump type setup. You can probably just mount on the side as far aft as possible where you have easy access for service it will remove the same amount of water as the boat is flopping around anyways.

Out of interest, are your alternators externally regulated to compensate for the isolator diodes? If not there are now 'lossless' isolator products out there that might work better for maintaining your batteries than a new diode based system.

You have really complicated things for yourself by mixing and matching components.

Human: Hello, I have a 1982 Evinrude 70 hp out board. E70ELCNB .. I put a new water pump in last year. When I go up river full thottle it quits pumping water and over heats and the buzzer goes off. So I slow down and it cools and begins pumping again. So I just go easier. Now my problem : I hit the key and t...
Does it blow when you turn the key to the on position or when you turn the key to the next position to try and start the engine?

I’m taking temps with a laser temp gun. Thanks for the reply, yes I’ve read that there is a difference between cylinders or banks of cylinders but this just seems like a bigger difference that I noticed in all the years that I've owned this motor. When I get some gaskets I’ll take your suggestion and open it up to see...
Human: My 1978 OMC RPM gauge has only two terminals in the back. One labeled Grnd. Where do I hook up the other terminal? All YouTube searches show three and four terminals behind the tach. There is a separate wire for the light of course but I’m looking for the sending/12v wire instructions. Assistant:
assuming it works, provide a ground lead to the GRND terminal and the tach lead (gray) to the sender wire and try it....sender post may be labeled PUL.

Single engine Yams don't sound the warning horn at key on. Pull the kill switch lanyard and then crank the motor. You should hear the warning horn. Are you sure that you have the F40LA model? The F40LEHA model came from Yamaha with the tiller handle already installed. As opposed to the F40LA model with was shipped wi...
Human: hi everyone i have a couple questions i bought a 29 foot pontoon boat a few weeks ago its a 1969 and it came with a 1969 chrysler 55 hp and a 1970 evinrude 40hp. my question is can i retro fit the generator, bracket and wiring on my motor because it doesn't have one on it, the pully for the belt is there and i...
If you can find all the parts it can be done. Or else they make Solar Panel battery chargers for boats which is another option.

Check your automatic kill switch that you can clip on to you if it has one. Wouldn't be the first time I spent forever trying to figure out what wes wrong and found that kill switch had been knocked out.

The generator only puts out 10 amps barely enough to keep up with a fish finder especially when trolling. Thats 10 amps at WOT it will recharge the battery when running from spot to spot the engine uses about 4 gallons per hour at high speeds you can do the math. You will need the generator, regulator and brackets. Wir...

Thanks for that suggestion. I have the service manual, but not the owner's manual. I have looked through the service manual and can only find the testing procedure for the thermo sensor.
Human: Put the 1983 Johnson outboard in the water Sunday. Started right up but put it in reverse and no gas. Moved to forward and no acceleration.

9.9 or 235 HP------And 12 volts from the battery is not used to make the spark on those motors.

As your motor is a four stroke, the spark only fires one every two full revolutions. As a result 500 sparks a minute is 1000 RPM. The exception to this is when you have a waste spark ignition system where one coil services two cylinders (something you won't have in a three cylinder motor). So my understanding is that ...

Just take your time going through it you dont want a wire fire out on the water no where to run. Wiring is relatively cheap but can be time consuming if done properly. Fuse everything!

So if I’m already on 6P, which I believe is 12 pole, then I either have a bad tachometer or the prop is spinning too fast? Here is a video of it set on 6P with a prop that should be over propped for this engine https://youtu.be/h0EM6iNFK8w

Usually the male terminal is an integrated part of the switch....and they aren't replaceable.

Well, my first seal source sent the wrong ram seal in their kit. Too small on the OD and too short on height. Ram diameter is right. They'll be getting this kit back! Trying singles ordered from The O-Ring Store next.

If the throttle advance button is stuck in the IN position, the shift function is disabled - so you can speed up the engine..... so, if the shift cable isn't moving back at the engine, then the drive likely IS in Neutral and the control box needs to be serviced....

What Rick shows is overly complex. The new way is to build the system with ACR and delete the battery switches. Both engines start and run on the "start bank" but will charge up the "House bank" while running. The ACR ensures that the start bank gets charged up by bleeding off excess charge amps to it from the house b...
Human: I have a 1990 Chaparral 2050SL with a Mercruiser 4.3 and I think the Neutral safety switch is bad. I have had no luck finding a replacement switch or how to fix it. ANY and ALL advice is appreciated!!! Assistant:
Take the controls apart and post some pics of the switch. There may be a aftermarket switch that will work. Did you jump the wires to see if that is the problem?
