i got me a 1993 merc v6 200 offshore with the 40 amp system, with the dual voltage rugs. are these the same regulators as the single 16 amp regulators? are they the same parts? they look identical,but i know that can be decieving.<br /><br />mine are shot , and the oem part is 305 dollars, versus i can get the single 16 amp regs for 50 bucks each.<br /><br />was just wondering if i could use two of the 16 amp regs in place of the ones that come with the motor?<br /><br />could i use just one single 16 amp reg? ill never ever ever use a full 40 amps of power. only thing i run is a gps/FF combo and the running lights and the guages. i know that aint 40 amps.<br /><br />am i just cheaping out too much on this one? should i suck it up and throw down the 305 for the cdi/rapair part and get it over with? in that case, can i borrow 305 dollars?<br /><br /> 40amp versus using dual 16 amp
