Battery Does Not Charge And Electric Starter (Applicable Models) Does Not Operate; Fuse Replacement - Honda Outboard Motor BF9.9A/15A Owner's Manual

TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
BATTERY DOES NOT CHARGE AND ELECTRIC STARTER
(applicable models) DOES NOT OPERATE
The battery-charging circuit (all models) and the electric starter relay circuit
(applicable models) are protected by a 15ampere fuse.
If the fuse burns out, running the engine will not charge the battery (all models),
and the electric starter (applicable models) will not operate.
Fuse Replacement
1. With the engine stopped, remove
the engine cover.
2. Remove the fuse holder from the
fuse bracket. Pull the rubber
cover off the end of the fuse
holder, and unscrew the fuse
holder cap.
3. Remove and inspect the fuse. If
the fuse is burnt out, install a
replacement 15 A fuse. The out-
board motor is supplied with a
spare 15 A fuse, which is located
below the fuse holder.
Never use a fuse with a rating
greater than 15 amperes. Seri-
ous damage to the electrical sys-
tem could result.
4. Reinstall the fuse holder and
engine cover.

the fuse to burn out again.
