Ground Wire?

Ground Wire?

I have a 9.9 Yamaha kicker on my Bayrunner that I have a question about. (the manuals are on order Steelspike...)<br />95-96 T99ELRT<br />SN L410001<br /><br />There are two bare wires running from section to section of my exhaust housing that appear to be ground wires. One is corroded in two. It is attached to a bolt on the upper housing and goes into the lower housing near the shaft. Why two, and am I correct in assuming them ground wires? Motor runs great, idles a bit high but I will take care of that this weekend in the water.<br /><br />Kev_alaska

Re: Ground Wire?

If they are galvanic leads, they must be working. No down side to using some solder and reconnecting the attachment end until Yamaha gets a replacement for me....<br /><br />thanks for the look...
