Anything special about outboard rectifiers?

[erikpn]

Rectifier from radio shack- $5. Rectifier from boats.net for outboard-$30. What's the difference?

I dont think there's much of a difference just get one that is the same size or larger.

but if your gonna replace your rectifier. id uprade to the regulator/rectifier. See above post high charge voltage sticky.http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=252684

The internal wiring of the GBPC package is part of the spec. If it looks the same then it is wired the same. Just get 35A or larger square bridge in a standard GBPC package (square with four quick connect terminals).

The only difference between Radio Shack and Marina is that the mercury/force rectifier comes in a special Quicksilver bag made with marine grade pricing in mind.
