Scott,
Do you know what the Bosch alternator was made for? Or do you have the NAPA
part number?

Thanks!
Ronnie

| Dennis,
|
| I just put a Bosch alternator on my IO360, and am pretty happy with it,
have about 25 hours on it now.  It looks like its built for heavy duty
applications, not like the nipon-denso I replaced. It maintains the voltage
at 13.8 to 14.0 VDC unless I put more than 30 amps to it. I've tested it to
60 amps and it maintained 13.5 volts.  The low voltage may be my battery.
|
| It was $90 new at NAPA. No exchange.  They gave me a free used pulley.
