I noticed one of the ballasts on my engine (there's 2 ballasts) seemed especially hot when running and seemed to have what appeared to be a wisp of smoke coming from it. What would cause that? I never noticed this before. Do they normally heat up? The other ballast seems okay.
I spent the past couple of days cleaning up some of the wiring and replaced the old non-functioning SW gauges with new AutoMeter. The battery was dead so I had to jumpstart it. The Voltmeter is showing 14-15 volts when the engine is running which I assume is due to the low battery (12 volts before starting).
I noticed the ballast getting hot when I was checking the oil/water sensors for leaks. Your thoughts? Thanks.
