I apologize, I am having difficulty comprehending whatever you typed. I think you're asking about a low voltage problem when trying to start an outboard? FIRST, it is not the rectifier.
Is the motor locked up, try turning it over with a socket on the flywheel nut. If it turns freely:
Try using jumper cables and connect the ground side then touch the positive to the positive lug on the side of the starter. If it spins over, the problem is between the starter and the battery. Start working your way back, remove all wires from the solenoid and clean connections, AFTER disconnecting from the battery. If all checks out good, all connections clean, solenoid working properly, then try using the jumper cables as battery cables. I have seen battery cables break down on the inside and supply just enough amperage to click the solenoid but not enough to spin the motor.
