Hey everyone, I am stumped, of course I don't know what I am doing either lol. Here is the problem.... I have a 1995 mercury 90hp 2 stroke, model number 1090412RD. I am yet to run the boat on a lake since I bought it but noticed how the battery was not charging when running it on a hose at the house(12.5 volts no change while running). I do at least know that the voltage regulator is shot because it has a burn hole in the bottom of the epoxy and you can see the fried diodes inside. I am worried that the stator might be bad also but am unsure and do not want to order something that I do not need. While the boat was running I checked the 2 yellow wires that goes into the voltage reg and see less than 1 volt per wire. I did read online somewhere to check the ohms on the red wire that goes to the switch box between ground, I am coming up with 120+/- ohms which leads me to think the stator is bad. Any help would be appreciated, what else should I test?
