the problem is that it has never done that before. i had to replace the battery when i got back from a recent trip, where it acted the same way for 3 days on the water. i am going to try a new regulator. i will keep you posted. thanksComment

outboards use cranking non mantaince free batts...and never a deep cly....thru I see it daily..no one seems to read the owners manual (sigh!)
And on small HP motors is a rectifier, not a regulater !!

actually we are both right. in the repair manual it is called a rectifier/regulator because it performs both functions, converting and charging. thank you for your input.

I found the problem.[ depending on the motor], most 4 strokes have what is called a closed electric system. if you have an open circuit, the regulator will not direct the current from the stator to the battery. found out the hard way, trial and error. thanks for your help.Comment
