Starter Tips Page
Here's some quick tips to help
you in preventing and troubleshooting starter problems!
 |
WORN OUT BATTERY!
|
| Batteries cause more trouble than
any other component in a marine electrical system. Always make
sure the battery is FULLY CHARGED and LOAD TESTED before making
any replacements of other components. |
 |
LOOSE CONNECTIONS
|
| Be sure to check all the connections
and make certain they are clean and tight. In saltwater areas
especially, look for any damaged insulation on battery cables
and switch leads, and associated corroded wiring. |
 |
HIGH RESISTANCE
|
| Corrosion - the enemy #1 of your
cranking circuit! Undersize wire, loose and dirty connections
will cause high resistance, heat at the point of the problem,and
voltage drop to your electrical components. This heat will BURN
YOU and also destroy your electrical components. |
 |
WIRE ROUTING
|
| Incorrect wiring can easily cause
burnouts. Always tag the wires when removing an electrical component.
If you are unsure how to connect an electrical component, contact
the vendor or the MASTERTECH |
