Hello all. Have a question before I pull the trigger on a new
alternator.
I am looking to upgrade the 55 amp alt on my
Westerbeke 33 to
power an upcoming bank of 105s or L16Hs. The
current alternator appears to be a saddle / two
food style with a tad over 2 inches of space between the feet. (See somewhat helpful picture.)
The
Balmar 6 series come in either a 3.15 inch saddle or a 1 (or 2) inch
single foot.
I figured I could use the 3.15 inch saddle version with an
aluminum spacer to fill the gap. It looks like I have plenty of clearance on the back side of the alternator to accompany the extended second foot.
Anyone see any issues with this?
