@omieyouknowme24 күн бұрын
I sold this boat and motor last year. See if I can write this up There are many ways to do this, mine was probably the most complex way but it allows the motor to run without a battery. If you don't want to deal with diodes and can accept that you need a battery to run motor now, (all larger motors need battery) then follow along Theory of operation: Use the positive and negative terminal from ECU where it goes into pump and run it into a standard 12v relay. The relay will take negative line from engine block and carry it to the pump. The positive wire you will carry from battery post on motor thru a 10amp fuse direct into pump. When you start motor, the old fuel pump wires will simply close the relay and allow negative side to go into pump. Installing On the pump, You will identify which wire is positive, (common wire used for injector and coil) peel back the tape around both wires at the connector, cut those wires near the connector leaving behind enough wire to splice in more wires. Splice in a positive wire on the connector side that goes to oump, run it thru a fuse and to the battery post block on motor. Splice in negative wire from the connector and run it to the relay, pin 87 on relay. Plug connector back into pump. Now run a wire from pin 30 from relay to ground stud on motor. Now take the wires from ECU that are dangling run positive wire to relay pin 86 and negative wire to pin 85. When you start motor now, ECU will close relay on pins 85/86 and run pump off battery by closing pin 87/30 with ground wire. The fuse should be a 10amp no bigger. 7.5amp would be ideal but 10 will do. If you want to run motor without a battery then it involves diodes and combining the two positive lines.

@@nicktr823 can search for 20SQ045 diode made by tnisesm. The relay is there to take the load and is a means to turn off the pump when engine turns off. Highly recommend you use a relay to run pump. It's a safety feature too you don't want pump running with motor off. The diodes are there so ECU is not starved of current. If motor is running the ECU will always have enough current to do it's work and excess is sent to pump. The pump will then draw the rest of the current from battery or elsewhere. If you don't have a regulator charger on manual start motor you can just run off a battery. Your battery size will limit how long you can run so if you use a 50ah lithium battery expect 8 hours then you charge battery again. If you tie the battery to fuel pump power as shown in my diagram with diodes you can double that run time. If you add a voltage regulator on battery side your run time now is based off fuel instead. I would recommend you use fuel pump wires from ECU to trigger a relay. Where the relay gets it's power is up to you.

Great video! Having problems with my Mercury 25 from 2013 (just 40 hours on it), OR-serial with tilt and electric start. My engine died after 5-10 min on the water (it did start when the engine was cold). Authorized mechanic identified a bad high pressure fuel pump (and said it works until engine is warm). They said there were power to the pump and advised me to replace it. I installed an aftermarket pump and it worked great for 1-2 h - then the engine died and now it won't start at all. I connected the fuel pump directly to the battery and it starts right up. When I measure volt in the connector that connects to the VST it shows around 15 V - but the second I connect it to the VST it goes to 0 V. Therefore I figure my ECU is fried and I'm looking into your solution. The thing that bugs me: what was the original issue? Can the original pump fry the ECU?

@@Aetius63 they are separate issues. If you can run the pump by applying 12v manually then crank the engine if still no start then there is something else going on. The kill switch is nothing more than grounding the brown wire. I would run a continuity check on the brown wire with kill switch in place. If you see ground on it with kill switch in place then there is a break in the wire somewhere to ground or switch itself is bad. The ECU rarely goes bad with the kill switch being grounded it's designed for that. Worst case trace the ground wire to ECU The brown wire goes to pin 3 this should not have ground unless kill cord is removed. Pin 28 on ECU is ground. This must be grounded at the lanyard with black yellow to brown or black to black on kill switch.

@@omieyouknowme The pump since it was replaced, works well and the engine always started without problems, the problem is that the engine would not start with the man overboard device put on the switch. But thanks to your guidance, we will review the continuity of the cabes and their connections. Thank you so much for your support

@@Aetius63 there are only three items that can cause a no spark no start. The kill switch, crank position sensors and stator. The crank position sensors if one fails will run but may not start. If stator fails it will not provide the need voltage to ignite the coils. Good luck. I often thought about adding a carburetor back into the block but this motor firing pattern is unique and needs sequential. Not possible sadly

These are the 16ah cells used in the condor/metro bus. They’re actually rated for quite a bit more current than the 25ah cells the same size that the seller probably thought they had. Most of these sub packs are 12s2p regardless of which cells were used, but they are modular and bolt together. If you wanted to get a higher voltage you would have to ditch or modify the white metal case it came in, but you can just bolt in more cell groups for whatever series connection/voltage you want.
@omieyouknowme6 ай бұрын
I was able to modify the controller to accept a lower voltage before cutting out. The bms I added takes care of the high low voltage cutoffs now. It still is not a 2.2kw pack as advertised with the 12s2p config it's in. I bought it for the metal case. It works for my use and how I use it. If I could buy more I would but for no more than 200$ because I can build bigger packs at that price point.
@JakeGlore-eu1ci6 ай бұрын
Right on. Yeah, being the 16ah cells it would only be the 1.4kwh pack(16ahx2x44.4v nominal). Honestly though, the ones like you have are harder to find. I’d trade you a new 2.2kwh with the 25ah cells for your 1.4 with the 16ah cells of you were close. With what those cells in yours are rated for, you can pull 500amps from that module for 10 seconds and still be complying with the cell ratings.

@@JakeGlore-eu1ci I have the datasheet on this pack. Yes they are very impressive for how much they can deliver. I want to say it said it could sustain 300+ amps for 2-4 seconds. The way I use it I am pulling 2-3 amps only per hour, occasionally I'll run it up to 10a for a min or so. Right now I get 12-16 hours of use with a 4 hour charge time. So it works, works so well I have put my gas kicker motor up for sale.

I dont know why Tohatsu Made these engines so complicated just for move a propeller.ecu damage every week.i Will return to carburator.an ECU from quick silver 1100 dollars.same part in Yamaha system 350 dollars. And Mercury AND Tohatsu hard to find.
@omieyouknowme6 ай бұрын
This ECU is not fixable. Same with all small engine ECU. If you know someone who is familiar with micro squirt you can build one for 350$. There is also speedunio option. These are small ECU you can program. If I find another 25-30 up tohatsu I will try this. But id be concerned if ECU keeps frying on the motor you have other issues.

I have the same engine. i got 12 volts for injectors, fuel pump. but the problem is it does not spark. i have tested lanyard switch and stop switch. it does not have any issue. resistance in both side cps is in range. i don't know why it doesn't spark. will it be a problem with ecu?
@omieyouknowme6 ай бұрын
If there is voltage and ECU is not sparking disconnect the kill lanyard wire. Believe they are the brown ones. Check each wire for continuity with ground if one is shorted out. The injectors working and no spark tells me it's lanyard or ECU. I will lean on the simple stuff first.

@@RaajjeAnglers can you try cranking with kill switch engaged for few seconds then release the kill switch button. Like push starting a car with manual transmission.

Hi thanks for your answer, I swaped the 2 sensors, having same issew. Has mentioned early I have 2 tohatsu 30 hp. Do think if I replace the Ecu I will not have the same problem later . I expreance that before the Ecu get damage. From your experience do you have any idea how the Ecu get burn. Have replace the wiring harness also. Thanks..
@omieyouknowme6 ай бұрын
If ECU is failing you may have a bad ground or the pump, injector or coil is drawing more power than is provided by stator. One trick is to take the common hot wire, that runs the injectors and pump and run it via a battery. That is find the hot wire which is common for all these and tap it with +12v The ECU will drive the negative side to operate the injection and pump. This would tell you if ECU is bad or if there is an issue with one of the three pulling to much of a load and burned out ECU

Hi I'm sorry to hear that. I do not repair ECU and the tohatsu ECU can not be repaired just replaced If you have no spark, then this is most likely a kill switch issue. Disconnect the brown wire for stop switch or lanard and try again. If that does not work I will find the specific test for the two crankshaft sensors if they fail the ECU will not spark either.
