Balmar Alternator In Indonesia

Well my old Alternator gave out and I need to source a new one. I’m on Gili Gede, (South) Lombok, Indonesia. Bali is close by too so that’s an option.

Has anyone worked with a reliable vendor with quick shipping, because I doubt I can find one locally. I’m open to other options but if I don’t get one then I’ll be sailing 2 months to Singapore without an alternator... I’m pretty sure I can get one there.

I found this site and sent a message (they appear to be in Jakarta...
https://wwmarineequipment.com/balmar...vdc-dual-foot/

I’d like to replace it with the 6 series - 100amp - Dual belt - Dual foot - Balmar kit with ARS-5 regulator as it’s probably the closest match to what I have.

Thanks,
austin

I’d call Balmar now. There may be someone closer than you think. Try Dale at extension 320 or Tom at 314. Yes I’ve talked them a lot.

I was emailing with Dale and I’m still waiting on a reply from him. Very helpful and quick replies. I’m planning to head toward Singapore and will start planning my replacement when I’m a bit closer.

I tried their website locator and the closest listed was in Phuket. I’m sure I could get one sent anywhere in the world but how long and at what cost....
