re: Outboard Engine Question for Those of You OBers Mechanically Inclined

You don't have an alternator. The stator assembly under the flywheel does the charging. The rectifier controls how much DC voltage is sent to the battery. Some motors have voltage regulators instead of rectifiers.

Do you think the rectifier/regulator is the issue here?

Damn Meaux. I had no idea this is how boats generated power. Like I said, I'm not much of a fisherman so I just assumed most outboards had an internal alternator but this is very interesting.
I just finished a machine design class where we did a ton of experiments with different synchronous DC motors. You seem to be a pretty knowledgeable dude.
Well played!
