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.
Both the rectifier and the new stator that I bought from I boats only have yellow wires. My old parts had a yellow wire and a yellow/grey wire. My manual also has the two differant color wires mentioned for hooking up the wires.
How do I know which yellow wire should represent the Yellow/Grey wire?
While testing volts at the battery with engine stopped I get 12 volts.
When the engine is started the volts go up to 13 plus.
My Rectifier is working fine right?
Thanks

My very first baot trip in the family's very first boat ended with an overheated outboard and the kids laughing uncontrolably while I paddled twards shore.
So I am going to look into the water pump impeler etc. It seems that the water is having a hard time getting up into the motor. If I put...
I am wanting to add a kill switch to an old outboard that did not come with one. Knowing my luck I will be the one thrown overboard only to watch my boat motor off into the sunset.
I have the Factory manual with the wiring diagrams, but before I just start cutting wires I thought maybe someone...
Well I have been lurking on this forum for a little while reading up on all the info available here. I was given this old boat by my wifes father. It is in pretty good shape for being 38yrs old .
After reading threads here I was able to look at the boat more skeptically and I believe she will...
