I ran it on muffs last week to check the systems and it was charging fine. Put it in the water saturday and nothing. !2 volts and not charging. All the wires are hooked up and clean. Belt is fine. Does anyone know if there is a fuse in this system somewhere? I cannot see anything but you never know. I ordered a new alternator and we will see how it goes. Thanks in advance.

90 amp fuse at the starter, but if everything else works it's the alternator.

Thanks, That's what I figured. It looked like a pretty straight forward system.

It was the alternator. Put in a new one and it's ready to go. Thanks!
