Since I don't drive my BS OBX much, and when I do, it is for short periods. I decided to get one of those volt meters that plug into the cigarette lighter plug and monitor the battery and charging state. I do notice that the charge voltage (with engine running) is sometimes as high as 15.3V. I...

Jofer, unfortunately I do not use the BS for longer drives, so it may be the case that the battery is always requiring a higher charge.
I will bring this up to the service writer when I bring it in for the first oil change. The information that I read stated that the charge voltage should never exceed 14.5VDC.
Not sure if this is the correct topic area. I have a 23 BS OBX. I purchased a plug-in battery voltage display that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. The displayed voltage at idle for the most part is around 15.15VDC. I have seen information regarding the maximum charging voltage should no...
The side steps were a bear to install. First of all I had to work on the ground with just about 8 inches lift from ramps. The J-bolts were difficult to keep in place while tightening them. The fiber board protection panels need to be trimmed to fit around the sidestep brackets (I left them off...
