Just installed a rebuilt alter
Just installed a rebuilt alternator in my 88 470 mercruiser today and all seemed well until I went to turn off the engine and nothing happened...it kept running until I disconnected the battery! The boat was already converted from the old charging systen to a delco marine 3 wire alternator! The old wires were coroded as was the whole inside of the old alternator! I hooked up everything the way it was before so I have no way of knowing if it was correct or not! Where exactly do the 3 wires go that are comming out of the back of the alternator? Any help would be appreciated!!!
