    Dielectric grease on connections

    I'm in the process of replacing my battery cables and switch. Will putting dielectric grease on the terminals at the switch post cause a problem? What about at the starter solenoid? I had in the past been applying a light coating of grease to the lugs and then using marine grease to cover the...

    Battery cable size?

    I've got a 115hp outboard on a 20foot center console. Guessing the cables are 15-18' long. What AWG should I be using for Pos and Neg? I've noticed the current cables are open ended lugs, meaning nothing covers the end of the cable just a ring with some worn away heat shrink tubing. It's a...

    1996 Johnson 115 Stator and charging

    Does anyone know if the stator on this engine J115SXEDR 1996 is a 35amp or is it something less. I'm looking into the charging system and the stator or reg/rect might be the culprit. Would the low output stator (9amp ?) be adequate to charge a group 27 deep cycle battery? Any problem...
