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.

Does your setup have external regulators? They are usually mounted on the wall in the engine room.
What make is your alternator?
