    Tiny ring terminals

    On the 1243s, yes, remove inline and go to the fuse block. On the radar, leave the inline Blade type fuse and go straight to the terminal block (both pos and neg). Same with Autopilot. Don't go to fuse block. Mine goes back to the Battery ON/OF switch.

    Tiny ring terminals

    you can strip it twice as long and double it back to use a red terminal. Solder works but the tiny wire tends to break off easily at the end of the solder. HEHEHE Good luck with that....you bought a new Blue Seas fuse block and now you have to change everything to ring terminals. And you...

    Battery switch issue

    Have you measured the voltage on that disconnected wire. Is it full 12 volts? Is it there when both battery switches are Off? If so, could it be the Memory 12v (normally Red/Pink) or a Bilge pump Manual wire (normally Brown)? What happens if you pull those fuses?

    Ground wire corrosion in outboard

    yes, very strange. But the fact that it fell and then corroded near the oil filter means its corrosive in itself. Maybe some odd drip from the cowling? Maybe put a paper towel there then put cowling back on and hose the crap out of the motor. See if you get a drip.

    Fuel filler grounding..

    Models and years vary but.. Usually, there is a green or green/yellow wire from a tab on the the tank to the Neg battery terminal. Its possible that it is black. Sometimes there are three green wires bundled to one connection on the Neg Battery. These are fuel grounds. Technically, the fuel...

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    I can't see your full setup of cables and switches. Assuming your old motors were original Grady setup.... You can set them as the old 150s. You need to connect the red motor wires to the Feed (sometimes it says COM) terminal of the switches. The stbd battery bank is connected to the 1 of the...

    seafarer port side junction box

    It a generic box. You don't have to use the fuse. You can just use the terminal.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    I don't see the "Isolator lead" or Aux charging cables in any of your pix. You don't have them. You would have had to order them with the motors.

    Looks like 10 gauge. Maybe a feed for an optional winch or refrigerator.

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    The motor manual is not going to deal with battery switch configurations. That is the riggers problem. That is talking about the Auxillary Charging cables. There is an Isolator in the charging circuit of the motor that splits (isolates) the charge to two batteries. If you have a single motor...

    '04 330 Express Repower

    Yep Interested in review of the new Mercs. I think they ditched the superchargers on the Verado and went big block. Crazy how light weight they got the new Merc V6 & V8 & V10 & V12. Are your's electric-hydraulic steering?

    Upgrade outboards

    Lots of considerations. Where and how hard do you use it? Offshore, inshore, bay, lake? 33 yr old motors in a lake is different than 50 miles offshore. Transom done? Stringers and deck firm? Does it have a bracket? What could you sell it for as is, including electronics? What would you pay...

    Engine trim with batteries off?

    Don't even think of cutting that engine harness. Loop it as neatly as you can in a resonably protected fashion. The Suzuki white plug is not as bad as you might think. There is grey silicone sealing the wires into the back of the plugs. They are quite professional. They are much better than the...
