Got 2 seadoos - 92 xp and 95 sp. One has battery voltage of 11.95 and at roughly 5,000 rpms was around 13.1 other has battery voltage of 12.6 and 13.5 at around 5,000 rpms. I know that it should be in the 14 range at these rpms but does this sound ok? Do you think this will be enough to charge the battery so it doesn't crap out in the middle of the water? Is this the beginning of something starting to fail and need to check on? thanks

good charging system?

Here is some info on the charging system;
When the engine is running, set your voltmeter for 20 VDC and put the leads on the correct terminal posts. With the engine running, you should be reading anywhere from 14.5 to 14.8 VDC. (typically this test is done at 5,000 rpms) This tells you your charging circuit is good. If the voltage is higher, the regulator is bad. If you’re not showing a charge and you've replaced the rectifier, you may want to do a test on the Magneto/stator/charging coil. If you’re not a premium member and you don't have access to a manual, this test will be hard to do without it. There are 2 fuses that protect the charging system. Check the 15 amp fuse in the MPEM and the 15 amp fuse between the solenoid and the MPEM.
The magneto and stator create un-regulated AC current. The "rectifier" converts that AC to DC current and the regulator maintains the current between 14 to 14.5 volts DC for the engines operation and charging circuit.
Let me know if you need any more help.
