Out with my boat last weekend cruising around Port McNeill when I looked down at my gauges to notice voltage warning indicator flashing 11.6. It didn't increase as I cruised around on my main.
( 2003 Yamaha F-90 ) I shut off my main and trolled around on my T-8 kickerthat has a rectifier regulator. That increased the voltage ( on the gauge) to 12.2 Dragged the boat home to CR and pulled the battery. Water was down below the plates. Filled the battery with distilled water and then charged it. Haven't had a chance to run the motor yet. Is the battery the culprit, or is it more serious? ( voltage regulator? ) Anyone have a similar experience?
