Code 4602-23 - Mercury 450R
Hi!
I have a Phantom 25 with a 2021 model 450R. It has 485 hours on it without major engine issues. Replaced starter and steering cylinder under warranty.
However, last year we experienced that the engine suddenly stopped. Both on idle and high speed. On my app I got code 4602-23, and we cleaned the battery poles - and also replaced the connectors (horseshoe type with new ones). It helped and did not get any more engine issues rest of the season in 2024.
However, got my boat on water this week and the engine stopped offshore in high seas on my way back from the dealer. Started easily again.
Sprayed the battery poles with WD-40 spray, and no fault codes today. I use BlueTop Optima battery.
I will head for my dealer next week. Any similar experiences?
Thanks !
Cheers Toffen
