Well at least I can say I made it out on the water, not out of the marina, but out on the water. WARNING - If you have dual batteries, make sure you wire them both positive to positive and negative to negative. Otherwise you run 24 volts through your electrical system and a fire will result. It was just a small fire on the alternator but a fire none the less. The result... Fried alternator, hydrolic pump for outdrive, distributor cap, starter and who know what else. Oh, and a busted knee from falling on the slippery rocks trying to keep the boat from running on to the chuck rock. Expensive mistake that I won't say which member of my family made... but lets just say my mother will not be happy!!!...Ended up bring the boat to my house, picking up my daughter and we all went out to a local pond and only caught like four little blue gill. Oh well we still caught something. lol
