Thanks for all the replies. Yes, I wouldn't put an auto starter in a boat. I just picked up this boat and am redoing everything. Mabey the last guy mashed 2 alternators together because I ripped out so much stereo equipment and wires. It even had a electric fuel pump wired in totally wrong, not...
Looking for a new alternator for my 165 I6 4.1L
Numbers on current alternator are 1102479 55 amps
only numbers that match are from a car alternator. could this be a mash up?
will a DB Electrical 400-12007 1-Wire Marine Alternator 42 amp work in its place?
Pull spark plug closest to transom and have a look in the hole to see if there is water in the cylinder. If there is its time for a new manifold and riser. I would also do a compression test. I just went through this.
