MAXIMUM OUTPUT TEST:
1.
Install an ammeter capable of reading at least 10 Amps between the Red wire and the starter solenoid battery post.
2.
Connect a load bank to the battery.
3.
In the water or on a Dynamometer, start the engine and bring the RPM up to approximately 4500 RPM in gear.
4.
Turn on the load bank switches to increase the battery load to equal 10 Amps.
5.
Check the ammeter.
6.
If the amperage is low,
a)
Check the Red wire for voltage while the engine is running. You should see the same voltage as the battery.
b)
Connect a jumper wire from the Positive battery cable to the Red wire and recheck the ammeter. If the amperage is now correct,
there is a problem in the harness or key switch.
7.
If the amperage is correct, but the battery voltage remains low, replace the battery.
OVERCHARGING:
1.
Clean all battery terminals, cables, and mounting bosses.
2.
Check the voltage on the battery with a multi-meter and compare it to the dash meter.
3.
Compare the voltage at the Voltage Regulator with the voltage at the battery. If the voltage is ok at the Voltage Regulator and not good
at the battery, you have a bad connection somewhere. Clean the battery posts and terminals.
4.
Replace the battery with a known good Maintenance type flooded wet lead acid marine battery. If the battery voltage remains ok, install
a new Maintenance type flooded wet lead acid battery.
