Is it normal for the battery gauge to read 16 when the boat is in
operation? The gauge only goes up to 18. The battery will be a year old

You should get an accurate measure of what the charging voltage is that
the alternator is putting out.

It sounds like your gage is showing 16 volts, but dashboard gages are
notoriously inaccurate. Can you put a multimeter on the battery
terminals when in operation? As somebody else posted, the voltage should
not be more that 14 or 14.2 tops.
