I disconnected my negative cable, and put a volt meter between post and neg cable. I had 13 volts. I found that problem my
alternator was wired to constant
power. I still have 1.5 volts on my meter with the perko switch on both. If I take take the red cable off from starter to ignition
power drops to 600ma. If I turn the switch off I get 500 ma. If I run an incandescent test light bulb between the post and cable I get nothing. Before I fixed the
alternator problem I had power. I don't see any chafed wires or anything out of the ordinary.
Recently I dove down and my prop was gone and the prop shaft is full of pits. This happened in two months. I didn't my
bilge for a whil then I noticed the
pump wasn't coming on and the
bilge was really full over my
pump wires; from running an Ac. The breaker tripped so I'm not sure how my prop was so badly dAmaged. Or if it had anything to do with my alternator. I put a new zinc on the damaged prop shaft, last time I dove down the zinc was fine. Not sure how I had so much damage.
