Charging System Fusible Link; Propeller Replacement - 25.4 Mm (1.0 In.) Diameter Propeller Shaft - Mercury 225 Manual

Charging System Fusible Link

This model has a 100 ampere fusible link between the alternator
and the +12 volt stud. This fusible link protects the alternator
from damage due to accidental reverse battery connection. If the
battery cables are reversed, the fusible link creates an open
circuit, protecting the alternator. With the fusible link open, the
engine can be started; however, the run time is limited, because
the alternator is not charging the boat battery. If the fusible link
circuit becomes open, contact your authorized Mercury Marine
dealer.
