    Honda 2003 adventure fuse box and acg alarm

    I'm having issues with my honda outboard. The acg indicator light is on and alarm is sounding. The engine starts right up and the engine runs strong. Hoping it's just a fuse. Any input would be greatly appreciated

    Honda 200 outboard running weird

    I'll normally cruise at 4500 rpm and go about 27 mph yesterday for 15 mins I was cruising at 5000 rpms and would only be going 18 mph but then would return to 4500 rpm at 27. It happened when first going out and then again on my way in. Any ideas on what would be causing this?

    Replacing batteries

    Okay thanks guys. I'm just worried running one battery to destination and running my battery with the motor off while drifting will drain it and won't be able to get home. Should I drive to my spot then switch to my second battery to drift then switch back to both on my drive home to charge them?

    Replacing batteries

    If I install 34s I'll have to replace my battery pans right? Because they are bigger batteries? Do I have to get 2 starters or can I get a starter and a dual purpose?

    Hey seasick does that look like gel coat to you? What layer would be under your gel coat? Fiberglass? It's not deep as u can tell. If you were in my position what would you do? Could you recommend a barrier coat? The white is not shiny it's more of a mat finish

    Flushing outboard engine

    While in your your saltwater slip, do you flush your engine tilted down in the water or up out of the water? All videos I see have the boat on a lift or trailer. I have muffs and a port flush connector? What's best while at the dock? It's a 2003 honda 200hp engine.

    Charging your boats batteries with an extention cord at the dock?

    So I have a new question about the battery switch and hopefully everybody is still looking. The previous owner said he would just put the switch to 1 and it powered everything. From motor starter up to electronics. Is that normal? I thought the switch on one would be electronics and switch 2...
