Don't know which model VV it is, but can remove to get model number off back tomorrow if needed. Voltage readings at Bats with Bat switches OFF were 12.81 on motors and 12.84 on house.Turning Bat switches ON remained the same. After starting motors and then turning them OFF but key ON. shows 13V...
Welcome
The boat was licensed at one time, do you have the title or bill of sale?
Contact the state which licensed it and they should be able to find it from the hull numbers
It might be to old but look on the stern starboard side for a number stamped in the hull
Not real familiar with the Alpha like I am the Bravo. The Bravo changed from 2 seals to a double seal and I installed the new double seal were the prior on was and had no issues.
The Alpha list 0M400410 and below to use 2 seals and 0M400412 and higher to use the double in the notes of the page...
Note at Mercruiserparts list the double lip seal is used on serial numbers 0M400412 and higher

Full charged true AGM list 13V for full charge, and find readings of 12.9 on the net depending on where you look.
I left Bat charger off but connected to boat for 1.5 days. Charge measures 12.78 to 12.8 which to me should be fine, so why does VV give me 2 beeps when motor is started.
My accountant says to take it as soon as I could. His thought is if you live long enough you will be bringing in more if you wait but you can also make money with the money, and as you say, ya never know when it's time
I found a test report where someone should fill in the blanks, but all I have is what I found in my testing. The charger bulk rate is 14.5 then drops down and from a month ago it was 13.5 float (which is good)
Give it more time and it would drop further. Currently when charger goes to float it...
A thread discussing the issue with high end Bats
Bought 3 Odyssey ODX AGM31 Bats.
After less than 2 years all 3 have issues and warranty is for 3 years for marine use.
Problem which caused issue
Odyssey said my 3 bank 20 amp total Promariner charger caused the issue because each Bat is a 1000...
Well Odyssey says my Bats were damaged by my charger not being able to supply "enough" amps. Bat charge mush be able to supply at least 10% of Ah rating, so 31M is 100 Ah which needs at least 10 amps. My charger is a 20 amp total 3 Bank. So I come back in all charged up but still need 10 amps...
Oh man another oil thread
That said
The motor needs to get up to full operating temp long enough to burn the moisture off. If this is done than IMO just run it until manufacture recommends changing oil
Oh that's demand liner, demand, and demand Guardian
I will use those readings to find out if my change it props is a good or bad thing. I do like the way the Mirage props bit better backing up over the Rev4
@muc looked for AEV and ASC and found neither. All I'm seeing is exhaust on/off and...
I'm not remembering anything with a datastream issue, but being old and suffering from CRS doesn't help :LOL:
The motors are said to have no effect on performance with the exhaust open or closed
