You can buy brand new yanmar alternators on ebay for ~$100.  It sounds like
the sensing line might just be bad.  Where did you measure 15v?  I would
remove, clean and inspect all of the connections to the alternator.  Then
with the engine off verify that the voltage at the alternator matches the
batteries.
