Being a 1993, I would suggest tracing all the wiring to see which is the house battery (electronices and livewell) and which is the starting battery (start and bilge pump). If they're mixed you should do some housekeeping. Then get an isolator and make the connections look like this:
not sure what this wiring diagrahm is supposed to be...
whatever you do,don't follow this advice...
Well, professor :wink: .... I could be wrong, but I think it's probably the most common set up that's used on thousands and thousands of small boats.
ya know what,you're really starting to piss me off...that diagrahm shows an isolator-for an alternator,did you know that ??? huh genius ??? most outboards have waht's called a stator,are you aware of this ??/ clearly not...also,that set up ilistrated,most if not everyone will use the switch in the "both" position...the switch controls the output,"output" being the switch sends power to both the engine and the 12v system,do you know that??? are you able to understand that ??? this set up,does not seperate the systems,meaning,you're running the electronics and the engine on the same battery,granted one is in reserve,however,simple fact is,a set up like this is prone to having the electronics shut down upon starting the engine,due to a low voltage situation...just because thousands and thousands of small boat are set up like this,doesn't make it the correct or the right way to do it...how would you,"you" meaning you,catch 22, set this up to charge both battteries on a yamaha outboard,without an alternator ?? share some of your infinite wisdom with us...here's a hint...if you do a search of my posts you'll find the way i like to see it ran,but you've probably searched my stuff so many times you've lost count,right ???
don't question my abilities or my knowledge,i've probably forgotten much more than you will ever know...
here's a little offer i'm gonna throw you..
i've got a 24' north coast at the shop right now,the boat's in to be wired up for a dedicated house battery,as well as rewire the mess at the helm area,you can come down and do that job,i will pay you the entire amount of the estimate,i'll pick up the parts...you do the job,to my satisfaction,and you ask absolutley no questions of me...how's that ??? here's your chance,you've been busting my balls long enough,here's your chance to put up or shut up...whatta ya say sport.... :wink: you wanna give me a hard time and question my abilities,as well as knowledge,here's your chance to show me your's...if you do it correctly,i'll gladly pay for a billboard in cape may telling how much of a genius you are,and how utterly stupid i am....c'mon,here's your chance...show me what you got...it's easy to sit behind a computer and type nasty comments,you do it alot,but think about this,sport,my name,my contact info is listed,the name of my buisness,all listed,what do you have??? a catchy screen name,you hide behind...again,why don't ya step up and show us all exactly what you've got...
