Is it possible to bench test a water cooled 40 regulator
Are there any bench tests to see if a 40 amp (88-90)water cooled is good or at least possibly good?
Thx

Do you have a manual? By the way, when they fail, the volts go high and they catch on literal fire. Want to know how I know that???

Bin it unless you like smoke and flames. Promarine sells a conversion kit.

I honestly replaced that POS with a pair of ones for a Pro Max run in parallel. Been working great for 3 years. I used a pair of 20 amps.

mine LITERALLY caught on fire (!!!!!!!) under my cowl and kept reigniting after a fire extinguisher until I disconnected my batteries. Could have been BAD. You might consider pitching it in the trash just to avoid the above for someone else. Scary AF!
