For any of you OMC pro's, I have any electricial problem that is kicking my butt. The voltage is low at my coil when running.(.9-3.5 volts) Charging voltage to battery seems high at 16 volts. Coil has been changed, I have an after market electronic ign. kit installed, but problem still exists with old points installed. Resister wire has not been changed but I don't know if they go bad over time? Engine runs great out of the water. When it hits the water and motor gets under load then it bogs down greatly after more than about 10 knots. Coil seems to get extremely hot also. Is my alternator/regulator going bad? A short circuit in the ignition?? Thanks for any advice and input.
