Hello friendly people...
About the Evinrude 1979 5975C 55HP.
Don't we all love gasoline powered battery chargers?
Wouldn't it be nice to have the battery charge a bit when out cruising around the archipelago?
And how about that nice comfy feeling that the starter battery is'nt dead when calm is over before the storm, and you wanna get home ASAP?
On my motor, this distant second means we have to fix some ****.
Well guess what, my rectifier seemed doomed, did the DIODE measurement, but didn't get much.
So, removed it and killed it even further with a heat-gun. Melted the epoxy and took a look on the diodes.
By the time i had dug out the diodes, some were broken off, so, probably why it did not charge according to previous owner.
An upgrade possibility presented itself.
Replace the old rectifier with a real MOSFET regulator.
I believe my 3-phase stator only can produce about 6A@14v (after rectifier) at 5000 rpm or so,
but having heard about friends charging outboard batteries at 17V it seemed like a regulator is good route to go, not just replacing the diode bridge.
If you have any advice, please advice.
Anyway, I have now ordered a
"Voltage Regulator Rectifier Upgrade Kit For Shindengen Mosfet FH020AA Motors"
Description:
- 100% New Voltage Regulator / Rectifier Upgrade Kit
- Manufacturer Part Number: FH020AA
- This is a universal regulator/rectifier kit and charging system upgrade kit.
- The kit can be used to upgrade most 2 wire and 3 wire stator systems.
- This rectifier has overheat protection, rather than burn up it will simply turn off for a while and cool off.
- This regulator can handle up to 50amp peaks & 30amp continuous 3 phase, 30amp single phase.
Specification:
- Size(L*W*H): 90mm*80mm*22mm/3.54* 3.15*0.87inch
Package Includes:
1 Piece Voltage Regulator Rectifier
