CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

[saltchuckmatt]

Bought a rectifier ( Sierra 18-5708) off Amazon), installed it, and took the boat out last Friday. Started up ok, ran good, but then I noticed my tach was out and voltmeter gauge was reading 12.9 (battery voltage) and dropping because of accessory load. Bad Rectifier out of the box?? As for power packs. I don't have any of the test equipment noted in the manual. Is there any other ways to test them, other than replacement?

​

Why did you buy a new rectifier when your old one tested good? Also, did you test your new one? I think you might have wired it wrong.

When did that start? I have found plenty of bad stators by being out of spec.

right but what I mean is the resistance can be out of spec, but cranking voltage just fine. now if the cranking voltage is out of spec, its obviously bad. just my experience.
