On the last couple of outings I have noticed the ammeter reading positive and negative intermittently. Today it’s in the negative section and is like a jack in the box when a electrical current is drawn. Battery reading when ticking over was 12.2 and off 12.5, cleaned alt connections  still the same readings . Possible alternator failure?

thanks Mark

Most likely the alternator Mark.  If it has been in use for a considerable time the slip-ring and brushes may need replacement.  The intermittent nature of the fault could be a poor contact there.
