Homie!!
Let’s hear it
@@MaxVanDenBergh-s7v I actually have it taken apart at moment. It's pretty loud wife hates it. Plan is to redo it inside an enclosure with oil filter and oil cooler. Add sound insulation hook up grid heater and add a proper muffler. With a proper control panel with breakers. End of year project.
That’s the business
I have a 2007 Mercury 25hp 4 stroke that starts and runs fine, but will not restart for a half hour if shut off when warm (sound familiar!). The dealer says I need a new high pressure fuel pump and a new ECU ($2000 + labor). He says it's just a matter of time before the ECU burns out completely. This all squares with your video. Because everything is working currently, what can I do to protect the ECU from overheating? It seems from your video that adding a relay and diodes would do the trick. Can you send me a diagram of how to install these items? Much thanks!
@@Phil24620 yes a relay would allow you to run without burning out the ECU completely. I will agree with dealer in replacing the fuel pump if it's the original and reason being, it's old enough that it's pulling more amps than needed and will continue to degrade. You have select start is the first item to verify. The diagram I have on video is what I used. Two 10-20amp diodes and fuse holders with wires is what's needed. Otherwise 16-18awg wire and some terminals and taps.
I m doing electric inboard boat that same Vevor motor.
This should work with powerdrive v2 correct? Have a friend wanting to add a foot pedal.
@@bthayer7797 yes. But you can can not use foot pedal and iPilot at same time. One or the other without having to take apart the inner case to swap steering wires.
@omieyouknowme but adding the switch allows you to go back and forth between Ipilot (remote) and foot pedal, after swapping connector, correct?
@bthayer7797 correct
EV technology is great! I've enjoyed having a high power 75hp Stealth electric outboard on my 17' bow rider runabout. Excellent choice for the type of lake boating we enjoy. We can go over 20 miles on one charge. The top speed is 27 MPH and the last time out, we pulled the raft for fun. See video on youtube at: mark's gas to electric boat conversion. Go Electric!
@@MarkWalters-g9x EV outboards have a place in smaller ponds but im still keeping my gas main for now.. They have a long way to go for cost range and limitations with weight of batteries. Was very excited about tohatsu new EV outboards then the cost of 10k hit with out battery.
@omieyouknowme I'm struggling to find clear information and product suggestion from google on flyback diode relays. You said the one you used was a ford relay. Could you provide a specific part number or is it that all ford relays have flyback diodes?
@@chandlernelson1095 try "HELLA 007794041" from Amazon.
@@chandlernelson1095 you can also search for "12v relay with diode" on Amazon or fleabay.
@@chandlernelson1095 I always grab a few relays and fuses from junkyard

@@Ultralightfishingislife 1x1x.125 aluminum square tubing
@@Ultralightfishingislife you can use 1x1 c-channel as well but make sure it's .125 thick. I used what ever I had laying around.
@@omieyouknowmethanks my drive finally came in now I just have to get it rigged
@Ultralightfishingislife nice. I went back to an oar for steering. Carrying the rudder and setting it up got cover some. I'm also going to glue on two small 2-4" sup board fins to each of the pontoons to help keep it tracking straight. In wind it gets blown like any other inflatable
@ that’s a good idea with the fins
Could you dummy this down for me, I’m having this problem on my boat and don’t want to fry anything but don’t completely understand the wiring thanks
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.
Thank you so much when I said dummy down you knew exactly what I meant , did you ever have anymore problems out of it?
What Amp relay did you use or recommend
@hunteradams7004 the only other issue I had was a fuel restriction. A piece of fuel line broke off from before the VST tank it lodged itself in the needle seat inside vst. Motor would run fine at low rpm but anything above 2500 it would die. Fuel starved because the low pressure pump could not fill the vst tank with needle being restricted. Easy fix remove vst cover blow backwards into fuel line and it blew out the old fuel line. Though it was hard to diagnose
Would it run fine for a few minutes with the fuel line clog or always bad? And what AMP relay do you recommend? Thanks so much gonna do this today and test it out
Impressive! See you soon brother.
worthless since there is no how to.

how big is the battery
@@beesboys it's about 1.8kw. Or 30ah
looks cool
Thanks for the update, always good to know how things work out after being used for a while :)
@@Im_M_Kell_6514 I am really surprised on how well it runs considering how little I put into it. I may build a bigger one now.
I have a 30hp efi mercury/tohatsu 2005. I put an aftermarket fuel pump in it, and I guess it fried that part of the ecu. My mechanic tried a lot of things, and in the end took power from the battery to a switch on the dash, and ran a ground from the battery to the fuel pump. It's working so far! I'll put the toggle switch close to the ignition switch on the dash. I'll just have to remember to turn it on and off.
@@whwoods your positive wire on fuel pump should still work. I'd ask him to use that line as a trigger for a relay instead of switch on dash. That way pump turns off when motor is not running. You can still have the dash switch as main kill switch, just send line that to a relay and trigger from existing fuel pump positive line.
Hey mate, One thing I was Just a little unsure about, did you use the factory diesel pedal or did you put in the gas pedal from the same year? Any help is appreciated.
@@mitch7.3powerstroke81I bought a new pedal from a gasser f250/350 it has the mechanical fork for a cable.cable want to say was factory cable on pedal side and I went to ace hardware for ball ends for motor side. the factory pedal is a electronic potentiometer. It won't work with throttle cable, but if you do a newer common rail they can use it.
@@omieyouknowme thank you very much I appreciate it.

Just bought a slightly different style pedal drive and installed it on my Colorado pontoon boat. It's awesome! I am also going to build a rudder. Thanks for the inspiration! Great video!
@@danlaetsch8493 good to hear. I took my rudder off it became to much to drag to water. I just use that plastic oar with one hand next to one of the tubes and it steers fine at slow speed. Will see if I put it back on. You should also consider some small fins glue them to bottom of tube just aft of seat for directional stability otherwise it likes to wonder and making minor corrections ALL the time gets old
I just ordered a pedal drive to do this with
50Ah 12s2p49.2v is the nominal voltage stated. you can charge the pack to 4.2 per cell 50.4v with no effects the 4.1v is for longevity. i want it now. 300 cycles now no issues. using with ebike 1000w hub motor this battery is sweet. outlasted my original battery pack with increased range.
@@ISeeDeadGamers I will say I does what I need. The metal case is heavy and overkill. The BMS is doing a good job of managing over and under voltage for me. I'm using a 50v power supply to charge at 10a takes a good 4 hours from 35v to 49v
I wanted to point something out about this setup. So seeing that you are using the negative signal from the ecu, that means that this will only work with an ecu that is still working. If you started with an ecu that had failed, how would you have done this differently?
I just saw your reply down below. Use a positive trigger instead.
@@shawnkeenan2576 yes. The negative is usual what failed. If you supply pump with 12v from external battery and motor runs, your ECU is still ok. The positive trigger can still run the relay and still provide some amps as well to pump if you use a diode. If you just want to run pump off a battery then use the positive trigger for relay only and call it good.
Can you provide an amazon link to the diodes you used. Also, if i used a relay to power the pump directly from the battery, would i still need diodes?
@@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.
What you going to burn out next
@@everestinspections9088 this is how majority of efi systems run fuel pumps. Should last longer than pump. Motor was sold with boat
I have a powerdrive V1 and am considering upgrading to either powerdrive V2 c ipilot or the terrova control board so I can utilize a foot pedal. Did you need to purchase a Terrova or Powerdrive V2 coil cord?
@@judeatkinson1049 you have to upgrade the main board in the base unit regardless if doing a v2 ipilot or terrova. The board in the base for terrova is quiet a bit more expensive which allows foot pedal. Oh the head unit for terrova is also more expensive. You honestly are better off buying a new terrova by time you add up parts. Hence I just did v2 board and head unit. I don't use foot pedal enough to justify that cost
@@omieyouknowme thanks for the reply
Well that is clever!!!
@@canadiangemstones7636 thanks. More stable than any pedal kayak. Not as fast but works. Ditched the rudder and just the oar to steer like old ships
Has anyone done this with pictures of what wires they used?? Mine has a black and white wire coming off the board to the steering motor. There are two other wires on the other side of board one of which has a female butt connecter and the other has a male butt connecter and both of which are not connected to anything. They actually have heat shrink slid over them but not shrunk. But the other two black and white wires that I was speaking of come directly off the board and directly to the steer motor. So my question is. Do I cut those wires that go from the control board to the steer motor and put the motor side on the middle of the switch and the the control board side that was cut to the other side of the switch? Where does the third set of black and white wires come from?
@@TAfidler79 sounds like you have the older auto pilot v1 board. Do not know what the other two wires with heat shrink is for. You should not be cutting any wires. What are you trying to accomplish? You don't get foot pedal and Bluetooth steering with my write up. This is for the newer models
interesting. Got an old 9.9 that would be a good candidate for such conversion. any part list of what you got would be appreciated.
@@VHarel-mt6yi i used a bldc motor off Amazon. Just a 2kw brushless motor with bicycle control. 2x2x1/8 aluminum angle and 2x4x3/8 aluminum for motor base A 1" dia 1/8" aluminum round tube as coupler which was cut then hand drilled in drill press for two different diameters of motor and electric motor. Then tap it for four o 10-24 set screws on it. The rest is a up to you how you assemble. Add a dpdt switch for speed high low. Another switch to tap into 5v ref wire if you want to control throttle.from hand switch or pot. Finally battery, that is the biggest cost. My cost to build this was under 500$ with battery, as I had the motor already.
I just got a the replacement fuel pump from Quantum and wired it with the time delay from my battery lead - just like you did. So far works great! But, you made a key point - Quantum will sell a lower amperage pump if requested? If true, I could have requested that and swapped it for my orig pump, with no special wiring required. Am I correct?
@@malcolmlund7938 their low amp pump is same as regular pump. I measured current at 40 psi.
How could someone find and get the low current pump? Do they have to request it from the vendor on Amazon, or does the vendor have it listed on Amazon separate from the high amp pump?
@@malcolmlund7938 there is no low current pump on Amazon or eBay. It's all the same pump. Low current pump is OEM from marine dealers and they run 600$ and up
I have a old v1 that’s giving me problems. Won’t turn in either direction with the foot control, but will turn on its own with auto pilot. On/off and speed controls engage on the foot pedal. Tore everything apart and didn’t see any obvious issues. I’m assuming the pedal is bad, despite taking that apart and not seeing any signs of wear. Any words of wisdom?
@@plapnab if it turns with autopilot but not foot control i would start with the plug from foot pedal. Make sure those contacts are clean. Use a small screw driver and close the pins on female plug so it make better contact with foot pedal. If that does not help trace the wires from plug to foot pedal switch, see if there is a break. I'll try to find diagram for old connector. Old foot pedals are expensive
@@omieyouknowme yeah, tried that as well. I think either the motherboard is bad in the pedal or the motor. Bummer.
@@plapnab if the motor turns with autopilot then steering motor and main board is fine. I'd look at foot pedal contacts, you can see the traces and if there is a break just cut out the sealer solder a jumper and rtv it back. The switch just sends a low voltage signal, should have a 5v if I recall that it sends.to board and steering motor.
@@omieyouknowme Everything looks good. Even took the motor apart and all the connections look good. There is one short white wire that comes out from under one of the capacitors that’s not connected to anything…maybe a ground?? Don’t see anything that it would be connected to. I think something inside the foot control motherboard is bad. Would be nice to know for certain before I start buying stuff.
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? I connected the original pump to a battery and it still works - so I'm thinking the mechanic got it wrong and I replaced the original pump for no reason. BTW: the filter at the bottom of the original high pressure fuel pump was super clean.
@@adamviklund6574 your symptoms are exactly same as mine. The high pressure filter was clean as well. My original pump was dead when I purchased the motor. The pump was seized, it had sand in the impellor. I would assume that trying to start the motor with pump bad pump had caused high enough resistance that I fried the negative driver in the ECU. I am not shocked how fragile this design is, would have used a fuse at min with original design to blow if pump has instructions and causing higher Amperage draw. Good luck to ya. I sold this motor and boat last year.
@@omieyouknowme Thanks!!! Now that you mention it I saw some sand at the plastic thingey at the bottom on the original pump (where the filter sits) I bet there was sand in the impeller. Well then I think I have my answer. When I crank my engine I also (sometimes, it kinda comes and goes) get intermittent beeps and flashes on the engines warning light. According to the manual indicates ""Water temp or MAP sensor out of range". I assume the MAP sensor is reacting to the lack of fuel??
@@adamviklund6574 map sensor measures elevation for the first split second then it measure vacuum inside intake. It's used to measure how much air goes in then ECU applies fuel based off map sensor throttle position to achieve best air fuel mix. Basically a carb but computer compensates.for elevation and temperature too. The two initial beeps are oil pressure I believe, because the motor is not turning enough to open that switch. It's set to 5psi only. You can prob disconnect that switch ground it or open it and crank to verify.
And just bypass that ECU for the fuel pump, would that work?
@@trevorcothran3273 use the positive wire from ECU to trigger a relay to run pump. If motor shuts off it will open the relay and shut off pump. This is how it's done on all efi systems
What would it hurt to hook the fuel pump to its own power source on a switch?
@@trevorcothran3273 no. But if there is emergency you need to be able to kill it or fuel will keep pumping
How would this work on a manual start
@@omieyouknowmehow will this work on manual starr
@@John-p9z2y yes. But you have to install a voltage regulator first. Look on starboard side of motor for the three yellow wires. If present buy the voltage regulator and add it. Use the output from it to run pump and charge battery. The OEM are pretty expensive but aftermarket will work as well.
@omieyouknowme is that a adjustable time delay relay ?
if I buy a factory pump I should be ok
@@trevorcothran3273 ya. But it's 600-700$ if it fries ECU you won't be on the hook hopefully
When you move switch to foot pedal side, will you be able to control prop speed, prop on/off and steering? Or do you have to switch to center position anytime you want to control the prop?
@@jakeunderwood2247 you can only use one either the pedal or remote. Can NOT use them together all this switch does is allow you to plug one in and use it without having to take apart the entire unit and switch wires inside.
@@omieyouknowme just got mine done today. Wish I could post a picture of my switch.
Mercury and Yamaha had a partnership from 80's. Changed to tohatsu in 2003_2004 time frame for smaller motors. Theese are the best and worst motors to buy run. When they run it's great but parts are impossible to find now
Thanks for this. So, the pump you bought/installed drew the proper current and did not damage the computer? If yes, what brand was it?
@@malcolmlund7938 no other way around. All aftermarket pumps draw to much. Not paying 700$ for OEM pump. I modified the relay to drive aftermarket pump instead
@@omieyouknowme thanks so much - really appreciate your guidance!
@@omieyouknowme I wonder if Quantum is aware of this? Hopefully they would FIX it. People could get the word out by leaving comments on Amazon, and maybe the Quantum website feedback.
@@malcolmlund7938 I contacted them about this issue. Believe they updated their site to exclude this motor. Believe all aftermarket pumps come from same factory in China and just get different labels.

Good video Omie. Have you experienced any problems since doing this mod? My 2021 bt pilot power drive has been a lemon as soon as the warranty expired. I have replaced the control board, the armature and now the ipilot remote has died from water ingress.. I have never submerged it, but it's not uncommon for me to fish in the rain. I honestly hate using a controller and would prefer pedal, but don't want to loose ipilot completely as I do spot lock semi regularly
@@mick9850 knock on wood no issues. I have the larger remote and the mini. I find myself using the mini more often than the larger unit with LCD it does not have all features but spot lock and autopilot is all I use. I have rebuilt quiet a few lower units too from water getting into amature. Usually from bad o-rings that freeze and crack. I make sure to tilt and drain water from lower unit before stowing. The amateur are usually fine a little Emory cloth on copper and bearing surface good cleaning with new brush. I have had a few motors that would not seal not matter what I did. New oring was supplemented with clear silicone was final answer
why not just use the ecu to ground (power) a relay that switches 12v to the pump?
@@michaellawson-j5z this is how it's normally done on cars trucks and larger outboards. For the smaller ones that can run without a battery, a capacitor is charged on the first pull to provide the 12v supply for everything. That same charge powers the ECU which in turn grounds internally for pump idle injectors ect. If you run these motors off a battery, yes you can just ground a relay, but most people buy the smaller motors to run battery less. My circuit still allows a battery less operation by taking excess amps from the charging circuit for pump.
Do you lose Spot lock and gps capabilities?
@@dannyunger1618 yes. You are effectively disabling the head and going back to foot control with a switch vs taking apart the entire unit to rewire inside.
Hey I’m having trouble with mine. It’s a 2008 25hp factory jet( tiller handle electric start) so it is a 30 at the head. When I attempt to start it if the red light does not come on and no beep( short beep) it will not run. But if I get a red light and the beep it will fire right up. Fuel pressure is 38-40. No spark when cranking and no red light. What should I test brown wire not shorted to ground
No red light or beep tells me either there is a short in brown wire telling ECU to shut off or ECU itself is not getting enough juice from the stator to power up. Check the brown wire at ECU connector with ground make sure it's not grounding while you move tiller handle. Then I would look at the big connector for ECU stator on starboard side of motor if it's lose. The yellow plug is for battery charging the black one with white wires is what provides juice for ECU from Stator. Stator rarely go bad but lose connections can cause intermittent issues. Finally ground the oil pressure line that goes to switch. Low oil pressure will reduce engine rpm should not prevent a start though This electric start?
@@omieyouknowme yes it is electric start. When the red light and beep happens it will run fine and crank all day but after sitting over night takes forever to crank. Thanks for getting back with me. Much appreciated
@@GarrettGolden-z1s so it may be stator then not building up enough of a charge to wake up the ECU and power it. I don't have service manual on hand, be a few weeks before I'm home. I'd be looking at stator check continuity in those white wires.
@@GarrettGolden-z1s just for kicks you may want to remove the ECU check the back side if any components blew out.
@@omieyouknowme checking power at white wires black connector( backprobing while cranking) had one circuit with 6 volts but nothing with 12 volt. Going to remove flywheel at lunch to check wiring at stator
I have a 2014 30hp that I replaced the pump on. Ran for 2 years no problems or errors lights. thought I burned out the aftermarket pump but I am still getting 12-14 volts to the pump lead when I hit the starter. Do you think my ecu is fried? pump still doesn't seem to be running so maybe it just wont run under load. just curious if you got any voltage to you pump leads when your ecu was fried?
You will get positive voltage at the pump lead but not negative if the ECU is fried. Verify by running the pump with external power source. The ECU just grounds the power, that's the failure not the positive side.
@@omieyouknowme so just to verify you are saying the ECU controls the pump from the negative terminal. Definitely still getting 12-14v on my meter when I hit starter across the pump harness leads. I want to try and measure the current in series and see if it drops under load
@@JoshTalbert yes it's a negative trigger. The positive is same and shared with coil and injectors and idle valve all on same line. Put your hand on ECU if it gets hot while running it's overloading that circuit and u are on borrower time. Other possible issue is pump is working to hard with high pressure filter plugged and drawing to much amps to keep up
What connects to the fuel regulator?
The fuel system is a dead head design. I will have to check the manual, I sold the motor. But if memory is correct fuel comes out of pump into fuel cooler then filter. There is a T fitting before the filter and that outlet from T goes into regulator. This is pretty simple it pressurizes the line and filter and what ever is not need goes thru t and is regulated back in vst
Very nice 👌
The 90hp would have done fine if it was 25" shaft really. But it would be running 4500rpm to keep it at 25mph which is ok. Still impressive that a new 90 can and did push this. The 150 is less than 1/2 throttle doing job of 90 at 3/4-full.
Is there anyway my father-in-law can get ahold of you, he is having problems doing this to his trolling motor.
I am not the expert, just posted how I did this. What is he having issues with? Is he upgrading from an older motor like I did to full Bluetooth and new control board?
