88 V6 Change Rectifier to Rectifier/Regulator.

[aussieflash]

Gday all,Its been a while.
My V6 only has rectifier and peaks at 17V at WOT.No problem with it as battery does the regulating,however im looking at new electronics that dont like over 15 -16 volts.Can anyone point me in right direction for a Rectifier/Regulator for my 1988 V6 135HP.
Thanks Paul.

Yellows go to stator yellows. Reds go to the batter post on the starter solenoid. Grey goes to the tach and black goes to ground.$40 delivered. Can't beat it. That antiquated crap you have on that 135 isnt worth replacing with the same components.

Its a 16 amp system. The 20 amp regulator will work for you. The regulator just has to be of equal higher capacity than the load. I know about the aftermarket Mercury style. I don't know about those you found in Oz. It may work. It might not.

That regulator you displayed is interesting as it is high current. The only concern I have is whether it truley is a "12" volt regulator or 14 as needed? A 12 volt regulator will not satisfy your battery....
