my chrging system does not seem to be opererating due to the slow drain of the battery during operation. i charge my batts full at night, runs fairly well the first half of the day and slowly peters out twards the end of the day. my battery readings also slowly fall through out the day, starting at about 12.6 in the am and down to 11.6 and below in the pm. how can i tell if im charging? i have two yellow wires and a blue and a red coming from the pickup on the stator and i get nothing from any when i test. i had to wire this motor myself due to purchasing the boat with out the original motor, is there a charge wire on the motor? (couple more...) the strange square alternator fuse was blown, i made a mini fuse work but still nothing, is that ok? and last but not least what is my WOT rpms supposed to be at? (2900rpm is the most ive gotten out of her) Thanks for the help in advance....
