7.5hp Disconnect Electrics

[Donald Boyer]

I have a 1984 Merc 7.5hp 2 cyl 2 stroke. It's electric start, but I'd like to use it occasionally without a battery. What do I need to disconnect in order to not fry any electrics while it's running when not connected to a Battery?

Thanks,

Donald.

Remove one of the two yellow wires coming from the stator (doesn't matter which) and tape it off. You'll be fine then.

Just to be sure I have this right:

Remove one of the yellow wires that run from the Stator to the Rectifier? (either one is fine?)

On most of the Johnson motors like that there was a special rubber boot that was used to cover the end of the red battery cable.-----No need to disconnect anything.

But I thought if it was run while not connecetd to a battery, it would fry parts of the electrics??

And it's a Mercury

This is how it is on the OMC motors.---------Black motor or white motor the electrical parts work the same way !!
