    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Diverting back on topic . . . I have mapped the power wires (as best I could) from the overly busy wiring diagram. Not sure it will upload properly, but here it is . . . I took some liberties with the color designation, since my graphic software doesn't know about wire stripes. :D . . I...

    Those were OPD's (other people's drinks) :ROFLMAO: Here is an updated photo from today. The admiral insisted that I stock up for the summer. :unsure:

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    I did some current draw testing on the port and starboard batteries, but did not see anything of significance. The boat's electrical system never sleeps (so it seems). There is the radio, the CO detector, the inverter, the mercathodes, and probably some other stuff that draw small amounts of...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Meanwhile . . . I am away from the boat for a day or two. So, I am trying to map out the power connections from the massive diagram that I posted. I have a feeling that there is a bad connection (or a short) somewhere that is dragging the voltage down from the 12.8 range to the 9.2 range. But...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    A couple of updates in answer to some of the questions . . . The buzzing only happens when the stbd engine switch is turned off. Turning the other switches (house and port engine) off/on do not seem to matter. If I turn the stbd engine switch back on the buzzing immediately stops.

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    FWIW - I went through the 2 years of maintenance history from the prior owner's marina (they gave me a print-out) and there was nothing mentioned about low voltage warning or electrical stuff. Interestingly, some stuff that they checked or fixed, I am finding are still issues (port engine...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    I feel more suppressed than the relays . . . or would that be depressed, not suppressed. Anyway . . . based on the diagram of the relay, I am thinking it does not have a diode. I've looked online for specs, and it mentions "diode & resistor versions available". Although the relay is a...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Thanks for everyone's help on this . . . The inputs help from getting tunnel vision, which is easy to do on things like this. I have the outdrives waiting their turn for TLC. The gear oil is black as coal and the port drive has a delayed shift. Probably will do the poor man's clutch fix on...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    OK - I'll get my contortionist outfit on and take a look I believe it is all stock set-up, but I'll check. All of the wiring is jacketed in the black conduit stuff or wrapped into a harness right up to the connectors. . . tough to see the actual wires.

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    FWIW - Here is a diagram of where stuff is on the engine. Most of the stuff is tucked under compartments in the plastic cover, so it is a bit tricky to reach. I usually have to un-button everything I am getting battery voltage at the back of the engine, but I'm thinking I should check the...

    @Fun Times I am not sure of the wire color on the back of the alternator, but the protective boot is orange. (sorry for the delay in response)

    Another thing that I just thought of is that there are quite a few circuit breakers up at the helm under the instrument cluster. I should check those to see if there is anything of significance.

    No I cleaned the starboard side. I did quite a few things in short order, so it is hard to say what may be contributing to it. Battery upgrade New Alternator Cleaning Electrical box

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    Here is the area of the wiring diagram for the MPR. . The power feeds end up over on the other side of the diagram at the connectors to the PCM. . Based on the PCM Manaual, I beleive that power is on connector A (58) pin A2 and Connector 3 (56) Pin A4. Here is the detail from the PCM 112...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    My boat has 340 hours. Starter batteries (2) are new. The Starboard alternator stopped charging properly when I test ran the engines this year. It was replaced a few days ago as per my write-up. Each engine has its own battery & switch. It is a Mercruiser 'faux pas' to run the engines on...

    Mercury 6.2 ECT DTS Axius Voltage Issue

    #1 - Yes, voltage warning on the starboard engine . . . sort of got it fixed after a while. #2 All over the place. Everything VesselView and Diacom are coming from the PCM. I have taken other readings with my DVM. The voltages are there, it is just that the PCM isn't seeing some of them...
