Re: mercury outboard wont start

Ok, this goes contrary to what I have been told and advised.

Not looking for an argument, I just need to know.

Maybe a floating ground or neutral? in addition to miss wire. Between ground and neutral should be 0v.

24v to 12 v

A friend has a 120 amp 24v alternator feeding a 40 amp solar controller to charge 12v batteries.
