[QUOTE="pistonhonda, post: 421749, member: 860"] Took the boat out this weekend and the battery died while sitting with radio going and using pump airing up floats, finally got someone to jump me off and took off down the river but i noticed that the meter gauge was showing that the battery was draining as we were driving close to 10 volts when we reached the dock. while we were trying to start the motor I used the good battery to start the engine on my boat and planned to switch batteries but as soon i disconnected the good battery it would die. I didnt know if that is a sign like a car that the stator is bad or if outboards just wont run without a battery? Hooked the battery up to the battery tender that night and let it charge over night, the next morning the charge showed the battery was not full but i took it to advance to get a test done and it tested good but showed about 75% charge. Checked it myself with a multimeter and it read 12.18vdc started the engine got it up 25-3000rpm and no change but it stayed steady at 12.18vdc with radio going. After pricing stator I figured i would get more info before buy something. wanted to see if you guys thought it was a bad battery or stator. The battery is alittle over a year old and the motor is a 2003 Yamaha F75 carbed engine. thanks [/QUOTE]
