Well... I went out this afternoon and this is what I found.

A DVM on the battery posts measures about 13.8v when it's running. Took
the
motor cover off and measured at the battery cable terminals inside and it
measures the same.

All the while the boat voltmeter reads pretty much pegged full scale...
18v.
The voltmeter has obviously gone south.



Glad to hear that it's a relatively inexpensive repair. It pays to test the
simple stuff first. The stator on your motor plus the labor, is the most
expensive part of the charging system, and the ignition system.
