Took my boat out today, it has a 1998 50 HP Johnson (j50tslecc). Cruised for about 10 minutes and when I stopped I noticed smoke coming from the cowling. Battery terminals were loose and sparking. So I ordered a replacement reg/rec today, but I noticed the electronic goop from the power pack was also melting... it's only a year old and I wasn't having any ignition issues today. The power-packed is directly under the rectifier which was smoldering hot, so I figured the heat caused the power pack goo melt. Should I replace the power pack too or see how it holds up?
