charging question

[reynold460]

hi guys i have a 1989 115 hp four cylinder mercury serial number oc106992 i have the 9 amp stator with a rectifier for a charging circuit yesterday i had the boat out and the volt gauge was saying 16 volts is this really a problem being that there is no regulator on my motor and as long as the motor is running its gonna charge the battery , am i wrong in this thinkin ?
thanks for any help you can give

Re: charging question

Only on some electronics, you could hook up another battery parallel to hold the voltage down.

You need to keep the battery full
