Outboard Diagnosis

Replace the ignition cables, that could be part of the problem. I'd also mix some fresh non-ethanol gas with sea-foam mixed 1 oz. per gallon. You can mix it richer if you want, it won't hurt the motor. If it doesn't run better, your carbs could need some adjustment. Another thing I'd check is your ...

Outboard Diagnosis

Past couple times I took the skiff out, my two stroke mercury started dying at full throttle just about the time I get on plane. Few seconds or so. As soon as this happened i would reach back and give the fuel bulb a squeeze. Bulb would be firm and tank vent open, and motor would still die off. No f...

A “Karen” is a term used to describe obnoxious; entitled; middle-aged white women. Not baby boomer slang.

It’s all in good fun, closest thing to sports right now.

Awesome trip sir. Looked like a good day on the water and a cooler full of groceries.

On this wiring diagram, what is +VE (Load) and +VE (Battery)?

Is this telling me the +VE (Battery) wire for the 15A goes straight to battery source?

Re: Good Morning / Good Week

I’m wiring the nav-lights, LED flounder lights, LED interior lights, depth finder, and maybe a bilge pump. I don’t see any of this drawing high amounts of power, but don...
