[QUOTE="Flat Bottom, post: 180681, member: 4594"] Well a little update here. I tried everything under the sun, tested all components, and all checked out in accordance with my clymer manual. Changed batteries several times to make sure it wasn't a specific battery... I was using the smaller sized marine deep cycle batteries, like a car sized battery, not sure what the size is called, getting no more than 13vlts from the charging system on the motor, i switched to the larger style deep cycle battery, like on a camp trailer or whatnot, and it charges fine, 13-14vlts at idle, right up to 15 with rpm advance... anyone have an idea on why this may be? i realize the cranking amps and small differences in the battery but i just can't figure out what would make that big of a difference.
