912 UL charging voltage too high?

2009 912UL 100HP with 350 hours - aux generator/alternator not installed
Not running and idling - voltage 12.5 volts
greater than 3000 rpm - voltage 15.5 volts
Usually had about 14.5 volts for first 300 hours
Changed to a gel battery - would this cause the voltage to go up.
Attached a Fluke voltmeter to the charging circuit - It reads the same as the panel voltmeter
Battery, instruments and radios work great.
Is there an adjustment to lower the regulator output?
Should I leave well enough alone?
