Has anyone replaced their alternator recently for the M25XP engine? I'd like to keep it around 70A to 80A. Any model numbers that were/are easy replacement for the original Motorola? Are there other external regulators other then the Balmar ones?
Thanks,
Pierre
I just recently added a Balmar 912-75 (NOS) and a Balmar ARS-4 regulator (more NOS). Installation was easy after reading all the advice here. I'm very happy.
Cheers,
Rick
Pierre : Just remember you'll probably have to reset your tachometer dip switches as you'll undoubtedly have a differant size alternator pulley, unless you use the same pulley.
Many writeups on that proceedure. A thought
Spend $400 for a Balmar or $120 for a Blue Circle. Your boat, your choice. See: http://www.c34.org/projects/projects-electrical-system-upgrade-2.html
No tach resets required either.
