OPTIMA batteries are of an AGM design that have very low internal resistance and will run pretty high voltages compared to a lead acid battery in an unregulated charging system. If this is with your 150 EVINRUDE though, sounds like you have a voltage regulator issue. Check the connections espescially the ground at the regulator is the first thing I would do. You shouldn't get much higher than about 14.5 or so if the regulator is working properly. I know AGM batteries don't take well to running at high voltages for extended periods of time and will die a short death doing so.
