Has anyone ever tried to use

Has anyone ever tried to use a automobile voltage regulator to replace the old water cooled V.R.s on a mercruiser 470. I have heard about alternator conversions but would like to try this automobile V.R.idea out if anyone has a drawing or other Info it would be appreciated
 
Auto regs will not work on th

Auto regs will not work on the 470 as the style of alternator is complety different. The 470 reg.is a voltage retifier/regulator. More like one would find in a outboard or bike.
Best way around your problem is to go to a belt driven marine delco alternator.Kits are avaiable or if your handy & have lots of time its a matter of fabrcating brackets to mount alternator and a bit of wiring.
