    Mercury Smartcraft - Communications Error

    swap port and starboard batteries. either that or its the ECU or bad wire. hopefully its just the battery. ECU is expensive and cables are a pain to find a bad ground.

    Wiring/Charging Question

    unless it was directly caused by the lithiums mercury wouldnt care. same as if you replaced the lead acid in your car with AGM or repainted the car or something it should not affect your engine warranty. i took my yammy in for warranty service connected to a dakota lithium and the mechanics...

    Wiring/Charging Question

    thats a suggestion to use AGMs not a mandate. eventually that guidance will change as lithium becomes more common. anyway the lithiums have 1000CCA so they exceed the technical spec required in the manual even if they are not AGM. and they have around 860% more amp hours than are required.

    Wiring/Charging Question

    thats a bit different than claiming its a govt reg. the reason you did it is to reduce stress on the starter lead acids which get stressed when cranking the starter due to the fact they arent deep cycle. that no longer applies with lithium systems. absolutely nothing to do with redundancy since...

    Wiring/Charging Question

    literally the same setup i have in my kingfisher. one battery to motors and house. it simplifies the wiring greatly and i have far less problems (actually zero) with it than i had with the house/starting split it came with originally. turns out if you throw out a bunch of useless wiring and have...

    Wiring/Charging Question

    you have a common negative bus anyway which is non isolated. for true redundancy you would need 2 separate buses which you dont have. one battery on a single bus is as redundant as 2 batteries or 4 on a single bus. the same fault can take all of them out.

    Wiring/Charging Question

    ditch the overly complicated setup and battery weight. rip out all 4 batteries, install one battery wired to both alternators. plug everything into the one battery and be done with it. you can remove everything except one switch and put in a blue seas dualbus hub to replace the spaghetti mess of...
