1988 j150 9amp system everythings new and when I jump the purple the boat charges perfectly everything's great I remove the jumper and it continues to charge until I turn it off then I'll have to repeat the procedure. I checked the harness followed all wires from the ignition and I can't find any breaks using continuity. The ignition switch was replaced with a Sierra which is a little different and wasn't exactly fun rewiring. But all works fine. Is there any downfall to either leaving the jumper hooked to the battery or I can run a lead to my console and have it power up when I turn my switch on for accessory or i can use an ignition wire so it only goes hot with the key. I ordered a replacement harness but it's also used so Im going to take the winter to rewire it using my old harness to reference. I have all new pins for the connectors and all new color correct wiring so next year hopefully this will be resolved. For the rest of this summer can I make do? I'd hate to have spent this much money and time replacing everything and it go bad from not being used or something of the nature burning it up on me.
