Alternator Mounting Guide |
The
following guide provides a basic reference for matching High-Output Balmar
alternators to your specific engine type. Keep in mind that "real
world" factors, including engine age, engine model, engine marinizer,
distributor and/or installer, can all have a dramatic effect on the actual
mounting configuration you'll find on your specific engine.
In addition to your alternator's mounting style, it is essential to ensure that your alternator's amperage capacity is matched to the size of your drive belt. If your engine uses a 3/8" drive belt, we recommend our 75-amp alternator. If your existing drive belt measures 1/2", we recommend our 100-amp alternator. If your engine is equipped with a dual 1/2"-belt system, our 150-amp alternator would be the recommended choice for your system. Large case, high-output alternators should be driven by a minimum of two 1/2" belts.
We strongly recommend you examine your engine to determine both mounting style and drive belt size before you order a replacement or upgrade alternator.
*Remove original
pulley and mount on BALMAR ® alternator; or move U bracket forward
**Yanmar Mounting: 35 amp uses 6 mm Mt. bolt, 55 amp 8 mm Mt. bolt, 80 amp
