The Balmar 170A Saddle Mount Alternator is a 12V high-output unit for 3.15-inch dual-foot saddles with K6 serpentine drive.
A hundred and seventy amps is a substantial step above the 120A alternators, and it brings consequences beyond the output figure. The belt, the cable and the protection all have to suit it. A 170A alternator on a belt sized for the original unit will slip, glaze and eventually fail.
Balmar builds these for high-output charging duty rather than adapting an automotive unit. High-reliability bearings, robust rectifier diodes and improved heat-sinking are what allow sustained output, since an automotive alternator is designed for intermittent demand.
This is the alternator alone rather than a kit, so an external regulator and temperature sensors have to be specified alongside. The 3.15-inch dual-foot saddle mount with K6 serpentine pulley both have to match the engine. Explore more marine alternators.
