I have to say, I remade the ends that connect to the positive terminal (all the little ones that bolt onto the whatsit) and gained an entire volt!!!!

snap! - 13.7 here to after the first rev.... before that it starts and shows 10volts. one (and only one) rev to 3k and it jumps up to a rock steady 13.7...
is that bad about the rev to kick start it? alternator on the way out maybe?

JjCoDeX75,
depends how slowly you rev it up
A blip at 3000 rpm will do the same job as a long blip at 1800 rpm.
But yes if it needs 3000rpm then its on the way to heaven...

My boat was shite - it would have to be reved all the way up under load to 'encourage' the Alternator to charge, then it would usually shed a belt! Class! You have to love that sea water!
