I'm sure some of you have seen these, but since I'm not running a back seat, i figured why not. what do you guys think?

Had one in my boat and loved it. Never worry about a belt again. Talk to Miller75 about it now. He owns my old boat.

I have one too. I had to modify mine with the help of my Dad to make it work with a delco alternator. I made my own plate so I can mount my ignition to it as well.
Only problem is that it takes up so much space. Im trying to figure out how I can modify a back seat to fit around it.

Nice to see you got a real marine alternator too. I use those for work all the time. If you need brushes or anything lemme know. Nice setup too...where did you get the coupler?

I got the entire kit from rex, a little pricey, but I had spit two belts already, I just couldn't get the alignment right. I figured I'd go all the way and picked up a special 37 amp marine type alternator, the smallest I could find because it doesn't run anything but the ignition, and it was also the lightest.

That is actually a resettable 65amp circuit breaker for the entire electical system. I recommend them on all boats. come to think of it i have one on my sandrail too..... they are water proof too
