I noticed my voltmeter wasn’t working and my batteries are not charging. I’m assuming my alternator has failed. How should I test to see if my alternator is working? And, if it’s not working…should I replace or try to repair it?

Is that the voltmeter on your 12V electric panel?? Also, does your tachometer work when the engine is running??

It’s the meter beside the oil, water and tac (by the wheel under the starboard stern locker)…and no my tac isn’t working either (interesting you asked that question).
