Okay I have a prestolite ALK6222 alternator with regulator. I kept noticing that my battery was dying after a day or so of sitting in the boat, and when I launched the boat the starter was sluggish to say the least, but would start sitting on the trailer. I metered the leads from the battery, found a slight short (boat is on trailer) I managed to track this short to the alternator, (on the 2000K ohm range I was getting 224-318, and was fluctuating all over the place), pulled the alternator, tested it again, no short no load at all on battery. Does that make sense that the alternator is fried? Should I get it rebuilt just to make sure?
Thanks
Jon
