    thanks, not that they list a date on that, so hopefully they are current, or maybe there just isn't any changes. Appreciate the link.

    Shop Manual for New Merc 60

    Just got a new boat and 60merc. Its a 2024. I've always done my own maintenance and have always had shop repair manuals for all my Evinrude Outboards. Merc is new to me but I can't seem to find a shop manual for anything newer than 2011. Are they just not available? Thanks

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    It is a good suggestion and I will give it a try as its easy. Although I kind of think I ruled out that issue as I did clean all connections (they were all spotless, but are more spotless) and I'm showing 0 ohms on all wire runs. Wouldn't corrosion add resistance? Either way I'll give it a...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Thanks for that. Will try with the test light idea. Don't have a DC amp meter. But that's a good explanation of why I might be seeing what I'm seeing. Out of town for a couple weeks so will report back when I return, but really appreciate the ideas.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    4 different batteries now. I've ruled out battery. Original was tested fine. 2 more from my trolling motor setup that have been used lots this spring and are working fine, and one from my lawn tractor just as an experiment of using a low charged battery (small was easy to drain down quickly)

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Finally a nice day, spent the afternoon on the dock trouble shooting. Long story short I'm still stumped. I get increased voltage all the way to the end of the battery cables, right until I hook them onto the battery. Started thinking that since the battery is 100% charged that its just not...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Sorry wasn't trying to bring things back up to you. I didn't venture out to the dock today as the weather was poor here as well. I will get back at it when weather improves. Thanks,

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    wish it was that simple. 3 different batteries, three different sets of bolts and no difference.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    well if that's the case I probably blew it today doing my testing.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Unfortunately not it. One of the first things I checked. Tested fine but changed anyway. But now that you say that I will verify the wiring is fine as well next time I'm testing.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    agreed, that is why I started this thread as I'm stumped. But I do need to dig into the solenoid contact points. Just need some better weather, fingers got too cold today. An no offence taken, but yes I'm measuring ohms.

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    0 ohms. Unfortunately not my battery. Load tested a little lower than new but still acceptable. But I tried both of my trolling motor batteries anyway just to be sure and no change. They are both 1 year old and I know I don't have 3 bad batteries. Whatever the battery voltage is at the time...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    I’m just waiting for weather to improve and I’ll get out on the dock to do some more testing and report back. It’s brutal here the next couple days If I get a bit of a break in the rain I’ll go pull the battery and go get it load tested today. But I have 2 trolling motor batteries that I know...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    I’m not concerned about eating crow. As soon as it stops raining here I’ll get out on the dock and verify. But I’m 95% sure it’s not the battery. I too have had weird battery issues but this one isn’t acting weird and I don’t know how it could absorb all charging voltage without a battery tester...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    well they are commonly called regulator/rectifiers, but if it offends your semantics I'll try to do better. I suspect most knew what I was talking about. This is the part description here on iboats. *RECTIFIER/REGULATOR 0584890

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Oil mixer was removed 20 years ago when I got it. I was duly warned of that issue. Otherwise its been great. Starting to think about an upgrade, but still runs fine, other than my no charging issue. I still get a couple days starting out of it, before I even need to worry about throwing my...

    battery charging issue has me stumped

    Seems most probable Crosbyman, but then again I've done what I thought was most probably many times now without a change. To answer stresspoint, I get the battery voltage only and it does not change while motor is under load.
