"I have a 1980, 20' Hawaii

"I have a 1980, 20' Hawaiian with an OMC 200 I/O. The votage regulator is bolted to a gooseneck on the top/front of the engine. I just noticed that the "epoxy" (inside the VR) has been melting and dripping on my manifold. I've ordered a new one from MarineEngine.com but now I'm a little concerned about installing it. Could I have an electrical problem (i.e., alternator, etc.) that is causing the epoxy to melt? The part is original equipment (25 years old). The only other thing I can think of is the fact that I charged the battery on and off over the winter without disconnecting the battery cables. Could this be my problem?
Engine Model No: 9902670
Serial No: 691769
Alternator: Prestolite, ALK6222Y
Thanks"
