Johnson 84' 6HP Charging Wire Connection

Hello, I tried to search for the answer but couldn?t find it. I am working on a 1984 Johnson 6hp model number J6SLCRM. Its been giving me many problems so far but I think I finally got it running. Now I want to hook up the battery charger. From what I have read from the Clymer Manual there isn?t any charging system on the 6hp only on the 9.9hp. But mine defiantly has rectifier and a wire block that looks just like the 9.9hp Electrical start wire diagram.

The Question is on the rectifier there are Four Wires, From Left to Right..(Yellow, Yellow & Grey, Yellow & Blue, Red) I have put a volt meter on the Terminal block and it appears that if I want to charge my battery off the motor, I need to hook the Red wire to the positive on my battery and the Yellow & Grey wire to the negative of the battery. I am getting around 9 volts at idle and 14-15 or so at wide open. I will be using a Flexcontroler NC25A-12 to control the charging of the battery.

Also I am trying to see what the max amps the motor will put out I belive is around 5 amps. So from what I can determine I would need at least 12 AGW wires from the motor to the battery.

If anyone knows about this please let me know.

Thanks

Has anyone ever used the Flexcontroler before. It says it can be used for multi items, such as a Solor Pannel and Wind Gen.

No news yet on the Wire Connection? Anybody?

UPDATE:

I have hooked it up and ran it in a test tank. So far so good. Guess I will just have to wait and see how it works

Re: Johnson 84' 6HP Charging Wire Connection

can you post a pic of the wiring? I have an evinrude 83" 7.5 (e8rcta) and I want to charge my battery as well off of it. Just havent dug into it so far. just bought it last week and am replacing the impeller and a few other tune up items. How much does flex controller cost? I'm assuming I will need one as well when i connect mine to a battery?

Thanks,
Gio

If memory serves - ALL yellow wires to the rectifier yellows (doesn't matter which). Red wire to the battery. Frame to ground.

I can look on mine in a couple days.

Hi there

I've got the Evinrude equivalent, E6SLCRM

The S indicates that it is the "sail" version. Has a long shaft, has a special extension with exhaust outlets on the side,(the normal one behind the prop is plugged) two cavitation plates and a high thrust low pitch prop to make it more suitable for as an auxiliary for a sailboat.

It aslo has a rectifier as standard.

The three yellow wires connect to the three yellow wires coming from the stator.
The red wire is the DC positive.
The rectifier case is the negative so connection is made to the lower of its two mounting bolts.

I though I might have photo of it on Photobucket but it seems not so you will have to make do with this one
