I have a 1977 Omega trihull. It has an AQ170 engine with 280 outdrive. I have been working my butt off to get this boat ready and am leaving in 2 days.
ok so my problem is I have no charging. It is an externally regulated alt I believe with the regulator on the alternator. I just redid the wiring to add a switch panel and blade type fuses. The only thing I changed off the ignition switch was the wire going to the gauges from the ignition. I am getting a constant 12.5v no change with rpm. If I have all acc on it goes to 12.2 and no change with rpm. I've never dealt with an externally regulated alt before so I dont know how to test it. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
