For you information - Checked with my Merc representative and was given the
following information regarding a 2003 90HP Merc outboard. With engine
running the battery gauge should reflect a volt reading of 14.5 to 15 and
since mine reads 14.8 I'm right on target.

Like a million and the boat performs like a million. Now, if only the
weather would improve. Maine's east coast has been drenched and cold
forever and it appears like this coming holiday weekend though dry will be
cold as well. Praying for hot and dry summer weather.
Thanks for your suggestions.

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.
