Re: 120hp evinrude vro

thanks red sky for your reply.<br /><br />just bought the boat, engine runs great. but while running it at wot or idling the voltage meter reads at 8-10v. by the time i load the boatand drive home about 30 minutes the battery will not engage the starter but will run the bendix. i can jump it off with my truck and it will crank before the flywheel turns once. <br /><br />thanks savjim

Bad voltage regulator or rectifier .start motor and read voltage at battery.
