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.

Maybe I can talk my wife into a 200watt stereo system for the boat by telling her it is to keep the batteries from over charging.

I just dropped a line to CDI tech support to see what they have to say about a regulator for this type charging system. I'll let you know what they say.
Probably " turn on some lights and install a second battery"

same thing happened to me,, if you tach is working than your rectifier is good check your regulator,, mine was doing the same thing the faster the motor woruld run the higher the volts would get
first check the terminals on the regulator and clean them but your probably going to have to replace it
