[FONT="]I have a 1988 100 hp Mercury which recently began charging at 16 volts. This has never been an issue in the past so I know it is not suppose to be at this level. I immediately thought that my voltage regulator went bad, but when I went to find it , I could not locate the regulator only the rectifier. After some research, it seems that this 1988 engine is not equiped with a stand alone voltage regulator and just relies on the stator. I am unsure how this works and regulates the charge, but I do know it is not the standard stator, it is a different model number for this stator. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The short question with the long explanation is can i install a separate voltage regulator on this engine? I know there are regulator/rectifiers which can be used on some engines, I am unsure if something like that will work for this one as it never had a regulator on it? Any help is appreciated. [/FONT]
