Hello, I have a 1995 Wellcraft Excel 21 GL with a Volvo Penta 4.3GS PHUB and am trying to figure out if my alternator is putting out the proper voltage. I read the voltage across the two large posts protected by boots and during idle it was like 8 volts. I just bought this boat and it has a new battery but the dash gauge reads about 11 volts almost all the time so I'm pretty sure it's just stuck there. I would like to make sure my output voltage is ok before it dies on the water when I need it. I am not sure I tested the correct way.
Thanks!
Thanks!
