circle boat with an alternator

[HighVoltage 329]

I'm wanting to run an alternator in a boat that runs the drive shaft off the front of the motor. I want to run an MSD so I need a charging system. I'm thinking of putting some kind of pulley atached to the flywheel which is at the back of the boat. Has this been done? Does anyone make an attachment/ power take-off? Any PICS?

Check the Rex Marine catalog they have a couple of different set ups for running an alternator of the flywheel

My Rex catalog is old and dosen't have it in there. I'll give them a call.
Thanks for the tip.

Rich,
I would have to make something to adapt to the flywheel but if you want to get rid of that set-up I may be interested.

That is a pretty cool deal because there are no belts. This is what we put on Rons boat when we went to the MSD.

Was the adaptor to the flywheel an off the shelf part or somthing you made?

Bergeron makes an adapter that bolts to your flywheel with a pully machined into it.
Nice piece.

Here is a shot of mine.
I added the jilmer pulley for the fuel injection.
