I just finished doing a bit of a rewire on the ole' girl. Now I am doing more checking of voltages and they are a bit "higher" than they were, shorter runs and new wire and connections. I now see almost a full volt higher when charging which leads to my QUESTION. I have 3 digital volt meters and they all read differant. I have a volt meter demand display on my VHF, another on my GPS/Plotter (Garmin) and my hand held DVM. They all read higher as I expected but not so high when running.
I pulled out 4 ~ 17' runs of #4, and now my longest run is 3 feet to the starter. When Ericson wired her in 70' copper must of been much cheaper.
Guestion~~~Is there a good thing to check the DC voltage of for a good base line to sort of check the DC voltage calibration on a GVM?
