I have a 1987 45hp 4 cylinder mariner engine. I noticed that the battery status gauge was showing low life when I was out the other day even when the engine was running. When I got home I hooked up the charger and the gauge pegged so I know the gauge is good. I have verified the rectifier is good. I show zero continuity across the two yellow wires going to the stator. When running I am getting 20vac at idle speed from the stator. When I run the engine I am getting around 12.10 vdc out of the rectifier. I am curious if I have hidden issues. Can anyone assist a fellow fisherman.
Thanks
