The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have made ALL the improvements and then some that were suggested for connections to the battery, connected an ammeter between the positive battery post and its cable which shows no current flow yet the battery completely discharges over a period of a week.

Looking for help/confirmation.<br />Occassionly I am seeing a voltage spike on both the engine voltage guage and the fish finder of 16V which then returns to the normal 14.1 or .2 reading.<br />It is a merrcury 150HP model # 1150422TD.<br />It seems to me that this indicates a faulty voltage...
I have a service manual for this 150HP Merc but in spite of Mercury recommending installing this kit annually the service manual doesn't contain any detailed instructions for the installation of this kit.<br />Anyone know of a souce for this information ?

We sometimes get an engine alarm - not necessarily at WOT but never at idle either.<br />The alarm will stop if you push in the ignition key (in other words choke the engine). Enriching the mixture just doesn't compute for either an overheating or oil injection problem.<br />1998 V6 carb 150...
A 1997 Mercury OB 150HP Model# 1150422TD <br />Serial # 0G530666<br />This engine will cold start and warm start fine most of the time but sometimes:<br />There is no reaction when the key is turned to the start position. It reacts like the battery is totally dead - which it's not. <br />Other...
If the battery switch is left on with nothing that draws power from it left on the battery will go dead after a few days.<br />The only thing we can figure is that the engine (a 150 HP Mercury) some how is dragging down the battery.<br />On the other hand if the battery switch is turned off this...
