"hello all , my next question
"hello all , my next question is , is it not possible to adapt a voltage reg/rectifier from something else? , ? or is the alternator conversion a safety thing ? i have no charge from the regulator but a quite high voltage(20 v ac+) coming from the stator (working with the bilge blower running). here in the uk we dont have the alternator kits so i'd have to fabricate the mounts .it quite tight is the engine bay so room maybe a problem but having no experience of inboard boat engines i'm weighing all options ! also , how many wire alternator is best ? as 50% of my boating will be at a 6 knot speed limit !(uk inland rivers & canals) your thoughts please!"
