    Are you aware of all the flooding by saltwater ? By fresh water. Every year. those good looking boats need a owner. ALMOST everything that is flooded. Can be washed, dried and resold somehow. It is another world. Or the boat company is using the cheapest quality of electrical parts.

    Dielectric grease--everywhere?

    1995 Evinrude E90TLEO charging

    Wiring in series was wrong. They are to be connected in parallel. In series they develop 24 volts. That would / could damage electrical parts. You might be the luckiest boater around.

    MPI Starting

    Jesse and others. Sounds like the idle setup is too lean and too slow. Move / have it adjusted it up that 1 click. And enjoy the boat. All engines should always be adjusted to start instantly. Hot or cold. They rotate at least 500 rpm at idle cranking speed.
