Guys, I have a 2005 Optimax. 1B029048 3.0 liter.
Only getting 12-13 volts charging.
Put a brand new alternator on and no difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Where are you reading the voltage?
Thank You Leon Pugh

Got to agree with Joe on OE parts......
Check it at the battery and at the alternator output terminal to compare to the smartcraft reading, may be different. If so you will need to find the where the drop is. Also a bad or very low battery may not allow the the voltage to rise.
There is a lot of junk and counterfeit parts out there
Thank You Leon Pugh
^^^^^yup

Lots of info on this specific issue in the 3L forum (what the engine in question is) - Mercury - 3 Liter & 3 Liter High Performance
