I have an on board charger providing 1.5 amps to the battery that my 115 yamaha is connected to. I’m guessing the current is running into the motor, then grounding out. If you look at the first picture, that wire (appears to be a ground)burnt through the transducer cable. I lowered the cable, thinking that would fix it, but smoke was still coming out that area, the second picture being from the back side, smoke coming from below the grease fitting. Again, this is happening when a charger is connected to the battery. Any ideas? That ground wire is hot, and I’m guessing it shouldn’t be. Also, do you think I’m OK to wait on fixing it & just unhook the motor when charging the battery, or is something wrong that should be checked ASAP! Thanks for your time & any ideas you might have!
