[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 481385, member: 12995"] I figured I would update this. I took the boat out for the first time this year a couple of days ago and it was running in low 14 volt range going upstream for a 10 minute run. When I fired it back up to pull away from the shoreline it was running around 12.5 volts again so I think the used regulator/rectifier got fried. I had picked up a used CDI reg/rect last year as a backup so I put that on and it's running over 13 volts again. CDI does recommend some heat sink compound on the back of it and I didn't have any so I ordered it to see if that helps. I'm not convinced the reg/rect is my main problem at this time, it could the stator overcharging. [/QUOTE]
