Alternator on my 1998 Ebtide boat went bad, could be from getting submerged under water for a short period of time, when the drain plug was not tightened up completely, letting the water into the engine compartment. I'm planning on taking out the old alternator and first checking it out and if possible repairing it. However if the cost of repair will be too high or if it is not repairable, I will buy a new one. And here I found two types of alternators by the Amp outputs, standard with 55 Amps and High output of 120-130 Amps. The price difference is only about $30, so I wonder if I should get a high output amp or could it cause any damage to the batteries or the system? Thank you.
