Howdy group just bought my first boat.

I am doing some checks before taking it, out its not charging the
battery.
Measure volts running same as not running.
Its tilt model 1992 50 hp, did checks for rectifier from this group, it
checks out ok. 12VDC at rectifier from battery red wire.
Are there some checks I can do on stator ie output or resistance
checks.
Also the auxillary is a not that old rude 2.3 hp is there any chance
these have a charging circuit.
Lucky I checked the water pump impellor it only had 1 leg on it!.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Taking it to outboard shop isnt an option I would rather smash the
motor and get another one than taking it to ripoff o/b shops here in
nz.

Thanks

Check the input to the rectifier for AC volts from the stator.

Thanks for replying.
I would like to do some checks before pulling off the flywheel. I
suppose to do that I would have to make a flywheel anti rotation device
and a flywheel puller.
There is 1.1 ohms resistance across the yellow and yellow grey wire.
There are 3 wires coming out of the stator which wires do I put the
meter across to measure AC volts?
Also does anyone know what the lever is on the back of the primer valve
for? Also on thje primer valve is a cap and under cap is shroeder valve
what is that for?
Thanks for any help.
