So we have this new Victron monitor installed and it is interesting to see the amps going in and out of the house bank as we use power or charge them back up. I finally had the chance to start the outboard (on land) with the monitor running and at Idle it was only pushing .96 Amps into the house bank through the combiner. Now I know the output at idle would be quite low so this was not a surprise to me.
But, as I revved it briefly up to 2k and 3k the charging actually went down to about .5 amps from the outboard. Shouldn't I see an INCREASE in power with an increase in RPM? This is not normal is it? Would it charge more if in the water under a load? That doesn't seem possible.
I think we have a problem with our 2003 Honda 75.
