Alternator Upgrade


 
Edited

Planning to install a Balmar 100 amp alternator on my Yanmar 3GM30F . Purchased the serpentine belt/pulley kit and the new alternator already has the right pulley!
?
anyone done this before? Any unforeseen fitting issues?

I will also be upgrading the wire to support the additional current¡­

Hi Daryl,

One thing to watch out for is to be sure you have enough room between the side of the new alternator casing and the port side of the engine ¡°box¡±.? It may not be an issue¡­but I don¡¯t think there is a ton of spare room in that area.? Steve on Rafiki.?

Yes, that is a consideration.
