I recently purchased a 2008 Yamaha F40. This is the manual start with a tiller arm. I read in the owner's manual that an optional rectifier/regulator can be installed so one can charge a battery for electronics, lights and electric trolling motor. So I purchased a kit and got it in the mail the other day.
Well, searching the web had been fruitless and I have not found any instructions how to hook up the thing.
The rectifier/regulator kit has 5 wires. Two idential (green/whites) with single male ends. One (black) ground. And a long bundled pair (one red, one black) to go to the battery, the red having an inline fuse.
When I look at the engine there are two yellow female lines that have the same corresponding plugs that would match the rectifier/regulator. I am thinking that is what I plug it into since those go right to the lighting coil.
On schematic in the service manual, there isn't a corresponding green/whites to hook up the rectifier/regulator to the stator(lighting coil). However, when I look at the manual for the charging system, page 8-28, it shows that two yellow lines(just like on my engine) hook into the regulator/rectifier.
My question is, is the two yellows the correct lines to plug into the green/whites on my regulator? I am just thinking that this is a newer rectifier/regulator and the wire colors don't match, but those are the right ones to hook up.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way. I love the motor! My first 4 stroke. I can troll for 3 hours, zoom around some and burn a little more than a gallon of gas.
Thanks,
Matthew
