I already carry a jump pack, but I've not ever had to use it. The battery has started the boat every single time—including after it has stalled those couple times. In fact, I might not even have ever...

I find myself going in the wrong direction in terms of simplicity and cost. While I would love to do a second battery and all that jazz, what brought me here seems to be a simple issue of battery...

I'm open to that idea, but I need to see if there's enough space.

If I go that route, how does the deep cell recharge (the cranking one would be charged regularly by the alternator)?

Some of y'all might remember that I picked one of these up at the end of last season for L'il Buddy's trolling motor. Given that he's moved on to the outboard, will this work to replace my current...

All the switches, and 12V outlet, are live with the ignition off. And we bought the boat new, so nothing has been added. I'll take a look at the master switches, though, as that may be a useful...

To clarify, pull the positive lead off and connect the multimeter between it and the positive battery post?

There's no master switch that I know of, only a 12V and USB socket and toggles on the dash for radio, horn, nav/anchor, and dock lights. All are doubly checked (and have been) bef6 disembarking.

Thanks for the tips. I don't have power available at the boat, so I'd have to use solar for any sort of charging.

How does one test for a parasitic load?

My tendency is to seek the simplest...

I just had a moment to test the battery. After sitting for two days, it's testing out at 11 volts. So, just enough to start the engine, but not enough to run the tilt motor?

It would seem that the...

Exactly right on usage: we pull the outboard up 1/4 way to beach and then all the way up (after shutdown) when storing. Then, I bring it down (before starting) to 1/4 and pull out.

As I was typing...

I've got three multimeters...at home! I'm gonna try to wrestle one up today to test the battery, since it's been sitting since last evening.

Will the engine shut off with low-voltage? And, if so, would the motor draw less (to start) than trimming down?

This is the 5th summer with the battery, and the only thing I've done to it is...

Gotcha, thanks!

I just remembered I've gotta bring Boatie Two in for some new canvas soon, so, seeing as it sounds like it's electrical and probs under warranty, I'll have them take a look.

Stalling When Trimming Down?

I'm having a weird problem: sometimes—only at the beginning of outings—my 2016 Mercury 150 outboard will stall when trimming down. It is accompanied by a beep and will start right back up. The RPMs...
