Hi everyone,
Suddenly my starboard, (House), alternator has begun to put out 15 volts+ when I advance the throttles on my 8.1 Crusaders.
Pulling back to about 1000 rpm it puts out 13.5 volts.
Question: is my alternator on the way out or is there a voltage regulator internal to the alternator that is failing?
Boat is a 2006 3200 Open with 8.1 Crusaders.
Thanks for your help and any troubleshooting tips you may have.
