I have a 1995 225 HP Johnson.
For a few years now I have been experiencing intermittent charging.
Most of time I see the normal 14.2V but every now and then voltage will drop to below 12v.
When at this voltage, motor still runs normally and tach works.
Switch the battery to fully charged standby battery and same thing. Starts sucking juice.
Then a short while later voltage will go back to normal.
No isolator installed, checked for loose wires, none found.
Problem always seems to be ok by the time I get to the dock so cannot trouble shoot.
Its getting more frequent so now is the time to deal with it before I am stranded.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Phil
