I had a new altenator installed and it's putting out 15.25 volts (stbd engine), the port engine original alternator putting out 14.25. Is the 15.25 OK or too high?
Related note, I'm only getting 12.8 to the batteries so I'm looking at connections and cleaning up the corrosion. The starboard engine had salt water sprayed on it when the hose clamps on the entire motor were not properly tightened after the engine was removed for a sterndrive repair, and was cruised 25 miles down the coast before a little voice inside my head thought to stop, raise the engine hatch and have a look to make sure all was ok. It was not, but fortunately we didn't have a hose come off.
