Hello . 1993 johnson 50 runs well but seems to be over charging , at least according to a new faria volt meter . We have a brand new marine deep cycle battery , maintained on a battery tender . We replaced the regulator thinking that was the issue . We were ok for one day , voltage never went past 13.second time out back to the way it was . Maintain 1000 rpm stays at 12 ish Volts , move up to 1800 ok amd it goes to almost 16 , above that it peggs the meter , just above 16. If I hit the power trim it drops to 12 and them climbs back to max of the meter .
I’ve been reading that combining a older motor with the newer batteries cause this issue which I can love with as long as it’s safe for the battery . We haven’t put a meter on the battery as yet but will try that next time out .
thanks for any assistance.
