Why is the DVA reading low on my Mercury 75 Outboard Motor?
If the DVA reading is low, the stator, adapter module, or switch box may be defective. To isolate the problem, refer to the particular engine model procedure.
What does it mean if the DVA is normal after disconnecting the BLUE adapter lead on my Mercury Outboard Motor?
If the DVA reading is normal (190 to 260 volts) after disconnecting the BLUE adapter lead from the switch box and cranking the engine, the switch box is defective.
What does it mean if the DVA is normal after disconnecting the BLUE/WHITE adapter lead on my Mercury Outboard Motor?
If the DVA reading is normal (190 to 260 volts) after disconnecting the BLUE/WHITE adapter lead from the switch box and cranking the engine, the switch box is defective.
What to do if DVA readings are still low after cranking the Mercury 75?
If DVA readings are still low after cranking the engine, either the stator or the adaptor is defective. Disconnect the GREEN/WHITE and WHITE/GREEN stator leads from the adapter.
What to do if the DVA reading is still low after cranking the Mercury 75 Outboard Motor?
If the DVA reading is still low after cranking the engine, either the stator or the adapter is defective. Disconnect the GREEN/WHITE and WHITE/GREEN stator leads from the adapter.
What does it mean if resistance between stator leads is normal on a Mercury Outboard Motor?
If the resistance between the GREEN/WHITE and WHITE/GREEN stator leads is normal (660 to 710 ohms), the adapter is defective.
What does it mean if resistance between stator leads is incorrect on a Mercury 75 Outboard Motor?
If the resistance between the GREEN/WHITE and WHITE/GREEN stator leads is incorrect, the stator is defective.
