[QUOTE="Allen, post: 124223, member: 389"] Just to help squash any confusion over my poor choice in terminology, a Yamaha boat motor doesn't have an "alternator" as we think of when we look under the hood of our cars. Rather it has a stator, set of magnets, and a voltage rectifier (converts current to DC from AC) and a voltage regulator. In my example the rectifier and regulator are a combined unit. Checked the stator last night and got 0.8 ohms on it across the board, so that should be good even though it's right at the upper limit of tolerances. Whew, that bad boy is roughly $400 on the interweb, and I'd have to imagine there's a small premium for it being available locally. BTW, the mouse in no more. [/QUOTE]
