Which part of the ALT. system failed? The stator or the water cooled regulator. Rebults units are available for both.

Re: 180 mer alter

there was an add on kit,after market.Then it went off market due to legal problems (maybe using the merc logos).<br /> I haven't thought about this unit for a few years,but didn't Mercruiser offer it after that point? DHP
