Looking for advice, I recently began a project (1978 Wellcraft Nova 250) and am discovering that a boat project is much more involved than I had recently thought... I am constantly finding myself searching for answers or how too's for hours on end. Well I have came to a point where I need to reach out and ask for help.
I want to purchase a 100 amp alternator but as I began to shop around I found that there are several wiring configurations. I have two question #1 is my old alternator a "3 wire alternator" ? (picture below)
#2 Is there a downside to switching to a 1 wire self exciting type of alternator?
Thank you in advance, I am sure I will be here often to bug all of you throughout this project
