I have a F80 TLRY that I had no issues at all with. I was running it the other day and the motor started to smoke. Further looking into it at home I found that the positive battery connection was real loose and the rectifier/voltage regulater Melted the wires on it. I changed it with a used one the was I bought from a parts place on Ebay off a 100 hp. The plug ins were the same on both rectifiers, although (the new one had the plug, red wire, black wire and bolted right up to block). The old rectifier had a plug in, red wire, black wire and ( blue wire that was not used ), athough they said it was the same number as far as compatability. After I* changed the rectifier my boat does not idle in gear very good like a low rpm around 500 rpms. I can put it in gear and throttle up fast and it runs like atop. But it chuggs at slow trolling speed around 2.8mph etc. Before It happened I could use the motor to troll at around 2.2 mph with no problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank all..
