#78836 Few issues with my Challenger on her maiden voyage

I am thinking it might be. I went ahead and changed the spark plugs. The old ones had a little rust on the top of them, but the electrodes did not look that bad. I checked that 30A fuse for the charging system, and it was corroded badly. I cleaned it out, and put a new fuse in it. Now it is charging at 12.8V, which is better then before, but I am going to finish troubleshooting the charging system. I went ahead while I was at Oriellys and picked up some Lucas ethanol fuel system cleaner and stabilizer seeing everyone raves about Lucas products. So next time out, I will fill with 93 octane and add the ethanol treatment.That sounds like gas issue, I had that early this year with old gas, add some injector cleaner and run it close to empty before you add gas, then fresh ethanol additive and injector cleaner.
I just got done pulling out the multimeter and troubleshooting. Each leg of my stator had under 1 ohm of resistance to each other, and none of them were shorted to ground. at around 4K, the stator was pushing around 45 VAC to the regulator, so it is creating power. Well all that is left to be wrong is the regulator/rectifier. When running the engine, even at idle, the regulator/rectifier and the wiring coming out of it is HOT. I have seen that a lot of people have problems with the seadoo regulator/rectifiers for the 4tecs, Are they still having problems with them, or is there an aftermarket company that makes a better one for our boats? I looked at my local dealers microfiche, and it calls for a #278001969, which is an updated part, so I am hoping they fixed the reliability problem
The only thing that is not passing due to the specs in the shop manual is when I test ADC at the charging system fuse. I am getting nothing there. So I am still unsure on what is wrong.

Took it out for the first time and noticed that my battery light would not go off, and I charged my battery before we went out, so I know it wasn't a low battery. I hope it is the inline fuse in the charging system I have read about. I also noticed that randomly my check engine light would come on, could this come on due to the charging problem?? The boat is a 06 model SCIC. With only two people in the boat, it would get up pretty fast, but I do not think it was the ~42 people say this boat will do stock. It would do ~7700 rpm. I am going to check and make sure the engine isn't overfilled with oil and I am going to replace the spark plugs before I take it out next. I had it filled with 87 octane gas, if that matters. Pulling a tube, it lost a lot of its power, and doing curves with the tube killed it. I just had the supercharger rebuild by Jerry at green hulk. I heard recommendations for the solas 13/18, 14/19, and the skat trak swirl, but I do not know what to get. Any help greatly appreciated.
