How do if my Alternator Bracket Needs Replacing?

Ron, Enjoy the technical column in mainsheet. We have a
C34 hull number 287 (Confetti) that we sail on Lake Michigan out of
White Lake.
In the recent copy of mainsheet, you mentioned upgrading the
alternator bracket. I'm not sure mine was ever done, although it
hasn't presented any problems yet. I ordered the past tech notes
collection, and read the article on the bracket. Unfortunately, the
copy quality of the pictures that show the old and new bracket are
not good. I wondered if you had a better copy that you could
send, or a description that would help me determine if I have the
old or new?

Dave : Universal (now Westerbeke) came out with the modification
to the M25 that moved the bracket from over the top of the
alternator to underneath - the same as the M25XP. They have the mod.
kits. (SEE ABOVE)
