*Alternator 911*

You're right. I didn't want to low ball him though :220v:
Also I notice you don't have an engine cover. Aren't most of the "marine" specifications meant to deal with vapor build up under the hatch?? Which may explain why you have had great results from the non marine stuff.

The law applies to all boats, but open boats do have better circulation....most of the time.

I have a brand new 90 amp Ill sell you for 200

[HM]

OH, and if you sell your boat with non-marine parts....you can/will be held liable unless you have a sales contract that states the improper parts and the new owner agrees NOT to drive it until he replaces the parts.
If you don't agree, call Progressive and tell them the situation and when they stop laughing, they will let you know if they will insure you or not. :wink:

You don't want to be doomed....
I just found my reciept. $92.01 for R&R of a marine alternator. Mines for a small block and I'm not running any big electronics so your's might cost more depending on amperage.....I think
ROTEX - 310-323-5710
Nah I wasn't talking about the $$$ I was talking about the marine vs. automotive question. Honestly I figured a rebuild would be around $100...

I have had it since 2003 - that pic is at the CBBB II (2003), but my dad owned it for 10 years prior.
oh yeah, back to the marine vs....I mean 1 wire alternator.

How in GOD'S GOOD NAME AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THIS F-ING PULLEY OFF !?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!??!!? http://www2.***boat.com/image_center...128Picture.jpg
Between my radiator leaking today, my check engine light coming on saying my coil is malfunctioning........... GRRRRR@#$#@%@
So I went and got the pep-boys warranty alternator, see if I can get another season out of it before I get a new marine one.
But back to my question, how am I supposed to get this thing off ? I cant fit a wrench, a ratchet with a allen wrench, ?? Do I need a special tool ??? My day can only get shittier from here on out so anything will help !!!

[Hallett19]

ttt.... I need to get this done tonight, I wont have time later this week to do this !! :cry:

[Froggystyle]

I would personally go for the marine version with a closed hatch and an older boat, but....
If you can stop the pulley from moving you can usually turn the nut with a socket.

[HM]

Yah, those nuts can be tough to get off (no wise cracks from ....well, from me.)
I put an allen wrench in a vice and then put the alternator on the allen wrench and then use the right size wrench. I think I used cuprinol (liquid copper) to help loosen the nut, and I think I bought the wrench as well.
