Re: Six volt bilge pump

[wiscoboater]

When I was a kid I had an old Johnson 35 with the 6 volt system. Being young and dumb, I used a 12 volt battery with it. It lasted about a week. I had the cover off the motor out in the middle of the lake where the boat died. Trying to restart it, the starter gear and related parts grenaded into multiple pieces. I can still hear the parts hitting the water one at a time… plop…plop…plop.. and at the same time realizing I had no oars with me.
