    honda 9.9 manual charging plug...

    Does the power outlet have a rubber cap on it? If so (and as seen above), the unwired male plug assembly may already down inside the rubber housing/cover. Just have to pop the rubber housing/cover off and look down inside. If you see the two male spades sticking up, pull/dig the male assembly...

    bilge pump wiring ghost

    Yup ^^^^^^, float switch path is keeping it on, the (float is stuck or bad). Not sure what took out the fuse, perhaps it got locked up with the same crap that jammed the float but is also in the impeller as well. Yours is/appears wired like this (mine is wired like it as well, this is a Mako's...

    Voltmeter reads 16 at speed?

    According to my math models, It should be about a plus 33% error, so yes, 16/12th error when varying the supply voltage from 12V to 16V This is of course assuming the gauge itself has no internal regulation and/or compensation circuity for varying supply voltages and is strictly a dumb linear...

    Plug in deck lights for Scotty power receptacles

    My boat came stock w two fairly low wattage aft facing incandescent cockpit lights and they work sorta ok, but since I have four Scotty downrigger electrical receptacle's that I have since put in up under my gunnel's (two aft facing and two forward facing) that aren't always in use powering...

    Removing pins from engine wiring harness.

    Cool, hope it de-pins out the back eh? Edit..Yep, yer good as Gold!!.... Use a tad bit of *silicone grease too on the tool/wire entries/seals, it helps the tool slide around in those tight spots much better and thus easier to feel your way to the releases as you work the tool in and...

    tilt/trim stupid question

    Ahhhh, well you must first dis-connect the wire from the #30's relay post before you can hook it to 12V. So for example bypassing the up relay and to make the trim go up........The blue wire that runs down to the motor that is also connected to one of the relay's #30 post must be removed from...

    Problem with 12 VDC charger on Honda BF9.9D

    Your quite welcome Tom, When I said "load", I meant battery as well in this case(I wasn't clear, apologies)..........I believe what Honda has done is prevent it from coming on w/o a battery due to the fact that w/o filtering(a battery/capacitance ), the DC output(or any DC output derived from...

    relays or solenoids

    If it's 2 wire motor(you report yours is), normally ya need/use relays (2 ea - SPDT type, see below) due to that one relay(the one not energized) to trim up for example, it's N.C. throw is grounding(Shown as "0V" below) one side of the motor winding, while the energized relay's N.O. throw...

    My gauges don't light up? fuse keeps blowing?

    I was thinking that perhaps a external device tapped into the blue circuit might be causing the issue, there's two taps it looks like....... I think its the same wire from points #1 to #2? (I think #2 feeds to #1) So before taking too much apart, perhaps just pop off that connector at point #1...

    VHF Speaker Widget

    Hmmmmm, good point. Cycling the power to VHF to go back to radio sig seems silly huh?. Maybe I was thinking(it was an 45 min run back to the slip, I had a lot of time) that since I have it's power switch(typically left on obviously, but labeled and functional ) on the dash or when the main batt...

    VHF Speaker Widget

    I have, as some here perhaps do, a VHF marine radio(mine probably older type then most) in my boat. And perhaps like mine, some are mounted permanent types that just have a single small'ish speaker internal to the unit's box. Well, when running, I can't hear the thing worth a crap If I had too...
