Hi All, First post here.
*
I have a Honda BF15A built in 1998.
*
After purchasing my boat it was running fine and charging the batteries. This weekend the batteries went flat because the engine is no longer charging them (Lucky I have the rope to pull start the engine!). Both of the batteries are brand new so I’m quite sure that both of these haven't had it.
*
I ran the engine and used a volt meter on the 2 cables that come from the engine to charge the batteries. this was giving a 0V reading. I took the cover off of the engine and it all looked in good condition. I didn't see any loose wires. I managed to find 1 fuse which was also fine and hasn't blown.
*
I'm a novice with engines but I’m happy to get my hands dirty if anyone can spoon feed me in trying to resolve the issue?
*
Many thanks in advance,
*
Nick
