    1969 85hp Evinrude charging system/ Over charging!

    Some motors DO NOT have any charging voltage regulator. The battery keeps getting higher any time the motor is above a very fast idle. My Evinrude. I put in a simple switch to open the POSITIVE output lead of the rectifier. I am a very good electrical person.
