What does a regulator rectifier do on an outboard?
The regulator rectifier is in charge of not only regulating the voltage produced by the alternator or stator, but it also rectifies the voltage by converting the AC power to the appropriate amount of DC power.
How do I test a single phase regulator rectifier?
To check the regulator, connect the meter leads to the bike’s battery as it’s running. The reading should not be higher than 14.5 volts or lower than 13.5 volts. If the reading is higher, this means the battery is overcharged and you may need to replace the regulator rectifier.
