I am having trouble with my Yammie. It also is putting out 15 volts. 15 volts is really bad news for a regulator - no regulator should go above 14.4 for a small outboard battery or you cook the battery. I don't know what Yamaha are doing, the rest of the engine is great.
What engine do you have? I just bought the kit for my CV30. The dealer gave me one like the one shown in this video, despite the engine having a dedicated socket on the panel.
Its only a charge circuit so I used 2.0mm double insulated wire, my battery is up the front too. Theres a whole series of videos on my channel wiring my boat. Cheers
Have a quick question for you, I've ordered a similar thing on eBay, and checked the voltage on my outboard coming off the magneto wires and I'm getting 70 volts AC when running! Is this normal or am I using the wrong wires? Don't wanna blow the part I'm getting...
Great information, thanks for sharing! I just want to run a 12v light so others can see me at night. Do you think I need a battery, or could I just wire the light direct to the regulator with a switch so I can turn it off during the day?
If it was me I would run a small battery, even if its a small motorbike battery, then if your pulling a higher current from something it won't damage the regulator. Cheers
@coasttocountryaustralia thanks mate, great advice. My only issue with the battery is that it will have to be removed and stored when I invert the dingy onto the sailboat deck. Bit of a pain. I will check the amperage when I get a regulator and see if it's capable of running the light. Thanks again 👍 we also have a channel over at @sailingwishfulthinking if you are interested. Cheers
@@coasttocountryaustralia Thank you! I googled it and the price in Norway (where I currently live) is astronomical. Around 1500 NOK (roughly 210 AUD) and they've put in region barriers so it is impossible to order from amazon / ebay :(. But I'll keep looking.
Hey mate I think there may be an issue with this upload.. I somehow stumbled across it but it’s not showing on your page or my subs page. Looks like I’m the only viewer too
@@coasttocountryaustralia wow.. I’m assuming I wasn’t supposed to see the one with the gangplanks on the trailer. Keep up the good work anyway mate, I’m enjoying the content

That one was a parsun, Chinese version of a yamaha.
Very helpful! I have a 2000 model 9.9 hp Yamaha and I want to charge a battery for trolling motor.
No worries, hope it goes smoothly for you.
What gauge or mm wire do you use. My battery is at front of boat will need about 3m of wire. Will i need to use a thicker gauge?

Hard to say for sure but sometimes you will get a high ac reading off the coil wires without a load (rectifier/regulator) connected.

Great vid.about to do the same to my 30 hp merc
Wait so after you do this, you can hook the motor straight to a battery to charge it?
Yes mate, I used it to charge a car battery when travelling to fishing spots, that I then used to run my electric motor. Cheers
Do you have the link to where you bought the rectifier? Part number?
This is the one I bought, just search ebay and find one that fits your engine. Cheers RECTIFIER REGULATOR FIT FOR YAMAHA 15 / 20 HP 6AH-81960-00-00 SL

This can be used to feed a bilge pump?
No, its to charge a battery which you can then run a bilge pump off.
Wondering what amp fuse you’re using. Thanks.
Hi, I'm using a 20amp fuse from the rectifier/regulator. Thanks for watching, cheers

I haven't released it yet so who knows what's happened there, will check it out. Cheers

Wird dein Spannungsregler auch heiß
Not yet, the metal heatsink seems to work ok. Cheers
Also er macht deine 14,5 Volt ich überlege ob ich in mit Wasser kühle oder mit Luft
