I will start with the Manuals for the engine, 18V is a clear indication of a bad regulator..

No regulator, but good chance of a bad rectifier if I recall. The only parts of that charging system are the rectifier, stator, and battery.

We had the same problem on a 75hp Mariner.
Ended up being the voltage regulator.

Take a picture of the powerhead so we can see what charging system you have. I believe that in 88 it could be a 9 or 16 amp system. The 9 amp was unregulated and would charge REALLY high once the batteries got charged. The 16 amp system has a regulator on it for most years.

I experience the high voltage also but I dont lose any electroincs. Mine goes up to 16 volts when fully charged and there is no regulator.
My question is, is it possible to install a regulator, or has anybody installed one on this type of charging system. If so what kind of results did you get.

It's possible to add a regulator, but it is easier to run 2 batteries and turn on a couple of lights to keep the charge down.
