Bill may have seen this before, I haven't. The MPEM is the only part I would guess.

How long does it take to drain a fully charged battery?

[h1dave]

412 hours to 514 hours is what i remember.
it got this problem when i bought it so i have been disconnecting the battery. new sbt motor with bill's filter and jet kit so this is the only thing broken [img]smile.gif[/img] . cant remember what dealer said back in oct., black box in the hull???
thanks

It is called an MPEM.

Why not just buy a smart charger from Walmart for $34.00 and keep the battery charged up?

[h1dave]

fix this ?? thanks
dave.

Yes it requires a new MPEM.
