Sorry to hear about the battery. I'll send flowers to the funeral. I have three of my own that I'm suprised still work on a daily basis.
Thanks for the report! Enjoy reading them as usual. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

I had a decent morning until 2 guys with no trolling motor pulled up next to maybe 15yrds. Said they hadn't caught anything all morning. And wanted to know if we were on a reef. Had an 8lb anchor they couldn't hold in the wind. Needless to say bite was done.

Ok. Good. You gotta be REAL careful when a battery is low if you have a 4 stroke !!

Some 4 stroke engines run with a computer very similar to a automobile. You can cause a terrible amount of problems to the computer if trying to start the outboard on a low battery.
I'll give you Suzuki, for example. If you try to start a Suzuki 4 stroke with less than 9.4 v, you'll fry the ECM. When I say "fry", the outboard may still run but give problems like over heat alarm or many other alarms which may lead you to think it's something else, but it's actually a bad ECM. I had a Suzuki once, that 3 different outboard mechanics could not correctly diagnose. It kept giving alarms, would go into safe-mode(won't run past 2200 rpm). When the Suzuki technician would hook it up to diagnostic software, it would say problems with the fuel injectors. We changed part after part. I started doing research on Google. After 3 months of research, talking to experts from Maine to Australia, I self diagnosed it to be a bad ECM. Changed the ECM and all problems solved. Suzuki actually put a service bulletin out many years ago that talked about trying to crank a Suzuki outboard with less than 10.7 v. They also state that if you have a WING-NUT to secure your battery cables to your battery........you VOID THE WARRANTY !! You must use nylon locking nuts. P.S. A new ECM is $1200-$1600. A good used one is $500 |
