Hi everyone,
Currently out cruising in the North Channel of Georgian Bay and had starting trouble yesterday. Batteries were both low. Finally started, voltages at batteries were increasing very slowly. Ran the engine until voltage crept up to 13
Checked the voltage at the alternator (an old Motorola with a new regulator last year), measuring from positive terminal to ground and its reading 13.6.
Ammeter in cockpit is reading low, maybe 5 amps.
Wondering how to diagnose and fix?
Thanks in advance....
