Both the rectifier and the new stator that I bought from I boats only have yellow wires. My old parts had a yellow wire and a yellow/grey wire. My manual also has the two differant color wires mentioned for hooking up the wires.
How do I know which yellow wire should represent the Yellow/Grey wire?
While testing volts at the battery with engine stopped I get 12 volts.
When the engine is started the volts go up to 13 plus.
My Rectifier is working fine right?
Thanks

I have the Factory manual with the wiring diagrams, but before I just start cutting wires I thought maybe someone...

After reading threads here I was able to look at the boat more skeptically and I believe she will...
