Excellent Ernie. But remember, it's not a battery gauge when the engine is
running - it's measuring alternator output. So the spec he gave you is for
alternator output, not battery condition. Let's debate the full charge
battery spec again!! (just joking).
Happy boating! I had a great weekend with just a minor issue of an
irritating leak in my aluminum boat. But the engine, alternator and battery
worked extremely well.
