Re: Mercury rectifier test?

[wiscoboater]

Thank you Crosby and Frank.
Electrical systems on these old outboards is still a mystery to me and I try to take every chance I can to learn about them. From my layman’s understanding of what you have described, I would take my test light clip to pos.+ on battery, battery neg- to ground on motor, then check for continuity at the yellow terminals on rectifier? Like I said, I’m not that familiar with electronics. If this is incorrect, please advise.

Thanks,
Jeff
