    Battery switch

    “Both” is still 12 VDC. Batteries in parallel Yes, you charge both batteries on “Both” but keep in mind using “Both” in effect makes one big battery. One battery with 100% charge and one battery with 50% (technically dead) charge when combined makes both batteries 75%.

    high voltage to just one battery but not the other (from alternator)

    The wiring diagram shows the alternator output terminated on the starter and carried to the positive terminal via the (big red) starter cable Since you had nothing with the thin wire disconnected, one must assume the thin red wire Is the ignition (power) wire. Would have to dig up the...

    What is this hose?

    I could see that being true if GPS wasn't 3 dimensional.

    Thermostat senders vs sensor (pics attached)

    A "sender" is typically an open/close switch used for status....aka over temp light A "sensor" is typically a measuring device with an analog output of some scaling - aka water temp gauge

    Electrical Issues

    Anything is possible but things typically "fry" as in don't work at all. The GPS thing is suspicious....... almost sounds like the polarity is reversed, has been reversed (hooked up backwards) and or back feeding power through ground from another failed component. Unless your have the...

    Electrical Issues

    First thing I would do is to dig around in the area surrounding the batteries for a cable that didn't get reconnected. IF you put the boat on Battery 2, do the rest of the issues resolve themselves?

    Electrical Issues

    I suspect a faulty ground connection. What is your confidence in electrical troubleshooting?

    high voltage to just one battery but not the other (from alternator)

    The thin red wire (2) is not on the schematic. I suspect it’s a second charge line to be able to charge a second battery w/o the use of a switch. I would leave it disconnected until you solve the current issue

    high voltage to just one battery but not the other (from alternator)

    Your wiring is still messed up The “thin red” (#2) and thick red (#1) wires both go to the COM terminal on the switch. The “engine ground” is the heavy black cable coming from the motor. This gets tied directly to a battery negative post. You then run a heavy ground cable between the two...

    Johnson 150 V6 Ocean Runner - not starting

    Before you go broke blindly changing parts, take the time to troubleshoot the problem. This should get you through the process https://www.cdielectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/CDI%20Troubleshooting%20Guide%20-%202012.pdf

    high voltage to just one battery but not the other (from alternator)

    OK, read through your post. The 16.9V reading is suspicious unless the voltage regulator is damaged which your test seemed to confirm is not the case. Your switch and batteries should be wired as below. Main engine ground cable (-) goes directly to battery terminal. Main engine positive (+)...

    Don’t assume…Timken manufactures in 33 different countries, China included. If the bearing doesn’t have USA stamped on the race, it’s not.

    high voltage to just one battery but not the other (from alternator)

    Your getting an over voltage because your trying to push through too much current through too small of a ground wire. Ideally, you run a negative battery cable between the two ground posts then tie the engine ground to one of the batteries. Run a seperate line for accessory ground.

    Mostly IH and New Holland. The stuff was given to me for helping a neighbor with a divorce sale. Weird stuff like a complete wiring harness, key switch, battery cables, boxes upon boxes of OEM packaged replacement hardware, fan belts, oil, air and hydraulic filters, a case of NH 134 hydraulic...

    Old Boater Collections

    I dread cleaning out my "accumulation" when it comes time to down side. I have a ton of "good" stuff that only has value to someone with a need. A lot of it will go straight to the dumpster and or scrap yard...not much demand for spare parts for 30 - 40 yro tractors and implements. For...
