Hello , some of my diodes from the rotating field went bad , somebody know the specific data’s ? Westerbeke it’s rediculous expensive 🙈, for a diode 52 dollars plus shipping tzzzzz.
It’s this diode , would be very grateful if somebody could help , the westerbeke manual says 11ohm .

A diode is a diode, only difference between them is wattage
Can use a larger one without issue Exp: use 5 watt instead of 1 watt

If you have a Radio Shack near by just walk in with the used/bad one
 
Hi thx for the reply ! I already solder one out , so that’s a simple BY255p diode ! It’s a 30cent peace ! Westerbeke wants 53 Dollar !!!!!!! For it , that’s the most rediculous ripp off I’ve ever seen 🙈😂, crazy !
 
Good deal, looks like that's a 1300V diode by SPEC SHEET
Can find them on Amazon and real cheap

It being 1300V it would be a bad idea to just get one with higher wattage, I gave some bad info
 
As I said I solder already one out . It’s a BY255p diode . if you google you see them everywhere for cents. I think if that’s printed on the diode it should be the one and every by255p should be right ? Or I’m wrong ?

Agree totally,
The spec sheet in link in post 4 agrees with you

I just wanted to clarify my post 2 was in error
