Bad alternator

[Patchman]

Well I fired up the Ol Fountain yesterday, and the alternator is no worky! So it looks like it is time to convert it over to a new marine 1 wire! jump.gif jump.gif jump.gif

That sucks , at least you noticed it before going out on the lake..

It's about time you ran that thing a little. I have an engine on a stand that has more run time hours on it than your Fountain.  :smile29: :smile14:

You are correct sir! And from the pics I saw, you have another engine on a stand that looks like it could be something a little healthy with that power adder! :smile14:

(SUPER SECRET SQUIRREL STUFF)  but the "adder" you speak of should have looked very familiar to you!

Oh it does! :smile23:

Thanks to Duane Hydro many years ago, I bought a 105 Amp Marine one wire from DB Electrical. The are very reasonable and my alternator is going on 8 years old now....no problems.

I bought the DB alternator, and I have bought many starters from them as well. :smile17:

Well we took the boat out yesterday. And then there was this!
:smile25:

 

[Patchman]

A direct result of this! :smile15:


But it didn't hurt anything that I can tell as of yet. :smile14:

 

[Devilman]

The ol' Hawaiian wouldn't have had that problem :smile16: Glad you made it in, that your dad towing ya?

 

[Crusader]

Dang man.....

 

[Patchman]

Yes, it was the tow of shame with pops and his toon! He was happy that it didn't happen a little earlier when we where all in the boat on the opposite side of the lake! Timing is everything! :smile14:

I've seen that happen, I don't know how many times. We sell a stainless one. I promise you it will never crack!
