The charging voltage from my Merc 20 outboard on my skiff is 15.11 VDC. Does that sound too high? I am troubleshooting the display on my Hummingbird Depth sounder. The screen goes black when the engine is on. The sounder is connected to the start battery. This was a problem that started for the first time last summer. Googling the problem suggests that the voltage may be too high. It sounds like a solution is to remove the ES from the starter battery. That means a dedicated battery for the unit. The problem started last summer. I’ve confirmed that the voltage voltage going into the unit is the same as at the start battery.

The Merc 20 uses a stator for charging.
