I am trying to make notes as I go.

I will check the thermostats cause it is spraying water harder than I've ever seen on an outboard. I will solicit help when I get ready to do that.

This morning I went out to charge the battery, hooked it up to the charger and the needle on the charger went all the way up. Figured must be a bad batt so I unhooked it and pulled it out. Checked the water levels and all were ok. Hooked charger back up and it acted normal.



When I put it back in I noticed when I placed one of the red accessory wire on the post it sparked, but all switches are off. Apparently there is a short somewhere in the wiring.

I will have to run it again to see if that short was messing up the sensors.
