After figuring out I had two bad batteries, I put in one fresh one. I did not realize that I had a voltage leak when the ignition was off and it was draining the battery to 12 vdc before I started it up.
When the boat is running I am getting a little over 12 vdc at idle. At 1500 rpms I am getting just 12.5 vdc. Regulator is acting fine, its showing the same vdc as the battery and at idle. The acv is less than .7 volts, at 1500 rpms the acv is zero, making me think that the regulator is fine.
I pulled the flywheel and the stator looks clean, mags are good and nothing is melted or funky. The Ohms are .3 in both directions.
Does this seem like low volt numbers? I am used to Yamaha charging systems putting out 13.5+. Good news is that it runs and starts fine trolling around for two hours.
