"I just bought a conversion ki
"I just bought a conversion kit also, now if the alternator goes its less than $100 to replace.
My regulator fried when a friend was trying tohelp me out by putting a charger onto my boat before came home, so we could leave when I got home......Guess what that regulator does not like being connected to a charger. Thats what friends are for...Oh well its fixed now
These kits range from $230 to $500 (I went with a $250 kit from a guy in Texas) It did take some tinkering to get it to fit with my engine cover and I had to lose a cup holder, but very worth it."
