1992 Mariner 30hp electric start issue

[papajoe]

Hi All

I stupidly reversed the polarity on my battery when I was re installing it at the weekend and now I can't use the electric start, the motor still fires on the pull start. I don't think I'm getting power to the remote as I don't here any beep on the key turning. What's the thoughts? CDI busted or is there a fuse in the engine/remote I can't see? Cheers Joe

there should be a 20amp fuse in the starter circuit some where, you will probaly find.

there should be a fuse as stated before , cdi is fine if the engine is running

Check for a blown Regulator, ppj

Cheers Guys, one blown 20amp found!! Where's the regulator hiding?

Many many thanks Joe

[ShinyShoe]

regulator would usually be on the charging circuit...?

Yup. Check the voltage across your battery with the motor running. Don't turn on or connect any electronics til you've made sure it's ok.

Cheers Guys

I check at the weekend
