how do i remove the flywheel?

How about taking a picture of what you are testing.
Why do you want to remove the flywheel now.?
What happened to the test for the Yellow and good earth?
They all have a high and low reading =OK

[Splash]

I'll take a picture.

FLywheel needs to be removed to access bolts to remove the rectifier assembly to have tested by someone else.

These readings I gave - they did not have "1" as low reading. That's why I'm not confident in these readings...

These readings are no wehre like the ideal readings you provided..

[Splash]

Forget the picis. The humidity is affecting the lens (moisture on it) and cannot provide a clear image..

Now, I cannot repeat these readigns as i have tested again..

Here is what I have :

Harness 1 = 2 leads (bright yellow, bright yellow with thin red band)
Harness 2 = 5 leads (red, purple, green, off yellow, off yellow with thin grey band)

This off yellow colour looks like a bland type colour (like a yellow colour but faded alot)...

Which harness should I be measuring?

[station-rat]

If it is under the flywheel then it is a rectifier/ regulator (water cooled) different kettle of fish

This is what you have then

I don't know how much help this is going to be to you , but here goes anyway.
I suggest you seek the help of a outboard mechanic or auto electrician

Splash,
Here is a thought. This is like a do-it-yourself heart transplant. It will not work. Take the motor to an outboard mechanic. You appear to lack the skills to diagnose, let alone rectify, the problem. If you work in Gove, you can afford trained help. Your life is on the line if the motor stuffs up at sea.

This is what you have then

Correct.....................

[Splash]

thanks guys.

I guess we should have all clarified/confirmed what type of rectifier I have before I started trying to diagnose 3 weeks ago.

Yes, I will take donk to boat dealers now so they can play.......

Appreciate your efforts guys!

I think it will be for the best in the long run

1) You have a faulty battery

2) There is something connected that is draining your battery.

3) Your motor isn't charging your battery.

Which is it?

If you can't work that out then you should take it to your dealer for sure.
