While on the lake yesterday, we had the engine off and the radio cranking pretty loud. All of a sudden I lost all electrical power to all of the switches to the right of the steering wheel, causing the music to go out.
We tried to start the boat for about 15 minutes, it would start and then sputter out. Finally it fired up and made it home. However the perfect pass was rebooting every minute or so. We turned on the radio at one point and all the gauges started bouncing all over the place.
While waiting for the truck to back the trailer in it stalled once. While in neutral the engine was revving from 600 up to 1200 RPM's.
I'm thinking it's the voltage regulator but would appreciate you guys' opinions.
If it is the voltage regulator is this independent or in the alternator? Where is it located? Should I buy a new one or rebuild?
Thanks
