I have been having sooo many issues with my boat lately, all have been easy fixes as im sure this one will be too. spark plugs being unplugged was the first issue, losta starter bolt, spring & washer and fixed that. When I was out sunday we pulled up to a spot and i noticed smoke coming all from my motor, I shut off the batteries and we found it to be electrical. My friend checked it out and the voltage regulator grounded out. we unhooked it and taped up the wires and continued fishing because we were so far out. It continued to work and start. Now I leave for afghanistan in 2 weeks and really dont have the time to fix it. will it be ok until i leave say if I wanna go fishing once or twice more? or should I just go ahead and get it fixed and not toy around with it? is it an expensive fix?

Make sure the battery is charged before you take it out.

Have that same problem with my 70hp Nissan. The rectifier is no longer in stock. Can I use another model's without risk?

Yeah I took both batteries out and charged them to 13 Vots and just put them back in today, will try again this weekend. Hopefully it doesnt effect the charging of the stator and it just regulates how high they can go lol. Found a regulator online for $103 may order today

Mike post a picture of the one you are useing and I can't beleive there ain't an after market one for it. If we can't locate one I'll shoy you how to build a bridge recetfier out of parts from radio shack.

Ordered the aftermarket rectifier from Iboats today. When my mechanic opens after the holidays, I'll go get my boat.
