To make a long story as short as possible I recently picked up a 1998 Stingray 190RX from a friend.
He thought the Alternator was bad because the trim,fuel,and Volt gauges are always pegged,or acted eraticaly.Anyway I luanched tthe boat to see if I could find anything for myself,and to test run the boat(been sitting for 2 years).Anyway boat runs and drives great,but the fuel gauge is always pegged,the trim gauge barely comes down past 3/4 to 1/2,and the Volt gauge is always pegged(maxed out).
At one time he had a huge gel battery for powering his TVDVD combo through a Inverter,and he's added a dual batt switch which is hooked up correctly(I checked).
I also checked the the out put of the Alt. and it shows 14.8 volts @Idle,wich I though was high but took it(the ALT)in and had it bench tested,and the tech said it was supposed to be that high.
I've cleaned all the grounds,inspected the harnesses and everything looks good.
Could there be a voltage regulator for the dash,like some auto's or where should I be looking?
Thanks Alot:
Bill
