Re: Balmar 90 and 7 series. What to expect?

Re: Alternator options???

My personal favorite is the Delco 12SI. I don't have that at the moment but it is high on my list for the next alternator.

Re: Lewmar H3 Windlass Disassembly help needed

I believe the H3 will work ok for good many years still. The problem might be the corrosion of the aluminum, and imho the paint on the aluminum does not help at all. I would make sure all the SS...

Re: Need new alternator regulator

The Ample Power regulator mentioned is in the $450 range or did I view a wrong model? Balmar 614 with the harness and the two tempretature sensors (sold seperately mostly) comes to about $470, so are...
