[quote MMDon]It sounds like a bad power connection to the unit or battery or a battery that is going bad.[/quote]
Well MM, I suppose that could be a possibility excepting that the FF shows the current voltage and its consistent and well within the perameters of the FF...it was interesting though that when Im trolling w my Merc kicker that the voltage is 12.4 volts always and when the main engine is running its 14.2...I am assuming that its because the troller doesnt charge Battery but the main does? Does anyone know if a 9.9 hp Merc w electric start is supposed to have an alternator to re-charge batts? Or does it just use it to start and thats it? [:/]
