Alternator not charging

Hello

My Perkins prima50 does not charge, the altenator throws out 14 v. If i measure betweenthe batteri+ and the motor Block it shows 12 v, it is not grounded, so thats is wrong..right?
Anyone know what these boxes are, and could they be the problem?

Re: Alternator not charging

If you get 14v at the alt it is working.
you either have wiring issues. Or you are measuring the wrong battery, and charging a different one.

What’s not grounded? If the engine and battery were not grounded together. The boat would not start.

Re: Alternator not charging

The "boxes" appear to be the tops of relays.
