hi all. me again. i wanted a second opinion before placing an order. i think my rectifier is bad. sometimes but not always i look at the voltage guage and it goes up to 17 volts or so. usually when im at half to full throttle. if i touch the power trim button up or down it drops to 12-13 or so but after pushing trim button it rises again it wasnt blown any electronics or the batteries yet. i assume its the rectifier. should i pick up another? they are $25 here at i boats and im placing a order anyway for other stuff. whattya think???? THANK YOU ALL. where would any of us be without this forum? probrably on the lake hoping for someone to come by and tow us in.....!
