    Yamaha Command Link Square Speed Gauge Not Registering Fuel

    You posted a mechanical only sender I've seen senders go both ways. How does the wiring diagram tell you to hook them up?

    Electronics don't die of old age, they die from abuse. Something as simple as turning the battery switch off with the motor running or hooking the battery cable up backwards can blow an alternator

    Depends on how your switch is setup. Typically battery 1 is connected to the motor for start and charging purposes. Battery 2 is typically wired to the power the "house" loads. If you took the battery lead (big red wire) from battery 1 and put it on battery 2 and nothing worked, battery 2...

    Older boat/ motor and New Electronics

    I fish a pretty big pond. Anywhere from 1/2 to 2.5 hour run to the fishing grounds. It's the 6 to 8 hours of trolling that gets me Mine is pretty good. Rare to not start on the second crank with temps above freezing. Once warm, a quick turn of the key and I'm off. Here is what I use with two...

    live well pumps

    Normal operation if I understand you correctly. You need to have a "scoop" type intake if you want the pump to work while moving

    Older boat/ motor and New Electronics

    I run 9" chart plotter, 9" fish finder, VHF, CD, NMEA 2k network and wash down. A grp. 27 battery couldn't keep up a full 8 hour day with 30 amp output and an hour of run time Keep in mind that you only get 10 amps for every 1 hour of run time above 1500 rpm Multiply your run time (above 1500)...

    That is correct That wire is the ground for the ACR. It needs to be connected to ground for the system to function properly 1. Remove the charge wire (red) for battery 1 from the ACR. 2. See a lot of corrosion on the positive (red) battery post. Clean both (red and black) battery terminals...

    Blue sea circuit breaker help

    A good, fully charged battery will test at 12.7 volts at test. If the battery tests lower than 12.7 volts, either the battery is not fully charged or is damaged internally. Running a battery til dead (jump start) or not fully charging the battery between uses increases the rate of sulfation...

    You should....however, if the voltage doesn't rebound, make sure the motor terminal post on the back of the battery switch is clean and shiny.

    1992 Johnson outboard not getting fuel.

    Sea foam for outboards?

    I mix seafoam into the mix for use with golf cart and lawn equipment to help prevent carbon build up but it's way too expense to use as a stabilizer I try to remember to add Stabil (regular) to the remaining fuel at winter layover but that is 50/50 at best. Fuel management is your friend. I...

    Bottom end soot

    Soot getting to the outside like that is a leaking water/exhaust tube seal. You must have knocked it loose when you removed the lower unit. You can run it, put the leak will get worst and make a mess (oil and grime) of your lower unit.
