Motor won't charge the battery, any ideas.

Post by Scamper »

Have a Mercury 60hp, 4 stroke, fuel inj, 2002.
Last trip the battery went flat, had to pull start the boat 8 km from the ramp. Pull start worked well.
Have had the battery load tested and terminals cleaned, and manually charged. Nil problem there.

Test run today, battery still not charging, volt meter showing battery dropping in charge very slowly while at idle or 3/4 power.
Where is the alternator located, and is there anything else I should try before taking it to a dealer?
