 Topic: Need help - high voltage 16 voltsPosted: July-01-2014 at 1:51am |

I have a 1999 ski nautique and just noticed my voltage gage was at 16 + volts. What is the best way to root cause this? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! |

Get the VOM out to double check the volts. If the 16 is confirmed, them you have a regulation problem. Hopefully you do not have a deep cycle battery!

Definitely check it with a VOM, but it could be that your needle has slipped. Our 99 Sport gauge was showing 18v while running but is actually around 13v. I pulled the gauge and repositioned the needle but after a dozen ignition on/off cycles, it has slipped again. It seems that when the iginition shuts off it slams so hard against the stop that it rotates it slightly.

Pete - What does a deep cycle battery have to do with voltage regulation? |

Chris, I have seen some really high voltages when a deep is used. Keep in mind the charge is slightly different with a deep.
