replacing alternator

[dickboxers]

So i threw a belt on the water the other day. While installing the new belt the casing snaped while tighting the bolt. So i made my way back to boat ramp. Alternator is fine but i dont think the bolt will hold on rough water. Im looking for my best option (rebuild, new upgrade). I have a 89 comp running 2 amps and base tube, 2 batteries. I am fixing to go get pictures and values off the items. Just wanted to get thread started.

88 comp. Attached are the pictures of where the casing broke. Im not sure how possible it would be for me to get a longer bolt and add locking not to secure the alternator. That would be the cheapest way to go, but i really really hate being towed in. Is it possible to replace the case only on an alternator.

ok now there are pictures. tablet was having trouble i guess. It is a 55 amp PCM made by Mando. If i do purchase a new one should i get a larger amp alternator

Do these require revving the engine above a certain RPM to begin charging? i believe they're called self exciting or some such thing. My current alternator does tno charge unless I rev it, I believe something like 1500-2000 RPM. The neutral throttle limit in teh Morse control keeps it from revving that high so I can't just blip the throttle after I've run for a minute. I want to switch to an alternator, preferably higher amp, that just charges any time the engine is running.

$66 for a marine alternator is in the range of sounding too good to be true- in my opinion. i'd be curious to hear about the internals of it.

to the OP, i'd find a local electrical shop and have them check it out. cast aluminum isn't terribly repairable but the guts of yours is fine. they can probably come up with a solution.

A machine shop should be able to fix that up.. just weld a new tab on and drill and tap the the hole through it.

I dont know anything about this company I found then on the net. The Mando alt on my pontoon started charging 17+ volts the regulator is expensive and needs to be soldered in a marine mechanic buddy recommended a delco universal replacement . This is a new unit not rebuilt with a 1 year warranty Ill let you know how it goes.
