Re: 1996 Bayliner Capri - over voltage?
Not knowing what engine you have makes it hard to tell if this is normal or not. some outboards do not have a voltage regulator and because those engines generally do not have very high output alternators, the battery regulates things. It is common to see voltage at wide open throttle to be 16 volts. If you have an I/O there is a voltage regulator problem. Since in a previous post you are adding a stereo, you might want to check the voltage range for whatever you plan to install. Most modern electrics that operate from a 12 volt supply have aan operating range of about 11 volts to about 16 volts. If the system goes above or below those specs the unit will shut down.
