"I have a 2004 Yamaha 40hp 4 S
"I have a 2004 Yamaha 40hp 4 Stroke. I recently added a Perko switch and 2 batteries. I have the engines positive to the common on the Perko and the engines negative to one of the batteries neg terminals. The batteries each have a pos lead going to one of the Perko terminals 1&2.
I took the boat out today, it started up but was running a bit rough. It stalled out quite a few times but started back up until the last time when everything went dead. No tilt/trim and no starter. I pulled the cowling and there is a definate electrical burt smell coming from under the hood.
Any ideas what I did wrong or what has given up the ghost under the cowling?
Thanks for any advice.
