Hi,
I just assembled my Merucry 2004 60HP EFI after repairing the adaptor plate and the drive shaft casing. First time I work on a boat engine so I was a bit surprised it started today - and ran for 5 or 10 minutes.... However smoke started coming from the voltage regulator - and it smells like it is toasted.
So... what could be the issue? Of course it should somehow be related to the work I have done but I cannot find any correlation. No wires seems damaged (by the disassembly/assembly), or forgotten - well there are quite a few but I looked closely.
It was cold (just about freezing), the battery was a bit low on voltage but not too much. The smoke from the voltage regulator came when I increased the RPM on the engine.
Any ideas?
One anomaly I found was a black connector in the engine harness connector - that goes to the remote control module. I measured where ever I could but did not understand where this wire goes? Someone knows? Include a picture of the female connector of the harness. I cannot find a good diagram.
