As this is my first boat I would love some advice. Noticed after a few trips on the lake the tach starting to run intermittently and soon thereafter the battery went dead. Searched these excellent threads, read my manuel and concluded bad rectifier. I checked for voltage from the battery leads and got none with the motor running on muffs. However my dashboard gauge declares 12.5 volts. I have purchase a new rectifier from the bloodsucking , errr, marine store, and before I install is there any advice that I need that may not be listed in the OMC book? I want to get it right the first time. I'm also replacing the water pump as I don't know how long it has been in service. Thanks in advance for any replies.
