Hi,
I'm dealing with my first inboard motor. It's an old 470 Mercruiser. I believe the water cooled voltage regulator went bad and was wondering if i would be able to use a standard chevy voltage regulator. obviously i'm trying to avoid the cost of a new regulator or the alternator kit right now. only a few weeks left in the summer and would like to be able to get by but don't wanna do anything stupid...which this idea may be lol.
thx in advance
 
Best thing to do is a alt conversion. The water cooled unit is a rectifier /regulator unique to that motor and there are no other applications.Plus being a NLA item, next to impossable to find.
