Alternator Replacement

[further]

Need to replace my alternator. It is original to the boat - 2004. Is it worth the extra $$ to go with oem on this or ok to do aftermarket. I’ve used DB electrical alternator on my last boat and had an issue with the pulley being out of wack. Thoughts?

I wouldn't buy from DB but would get the original manufacture of the ALT as in Delco Remy

Just look up the part number

Can’t seem to cross reference the numbers that are on the sticker on mine. See photo

Google "3862613 alternator" or Lookup Arco #60076 (arcomarine)
Delco-Remy didn't show marine applications

Can you get it rebuilt?
There are shops around that rebuild.
Some are reasonable, some not.
The one closest to me really likes his work
Charges more than it costs to buy new, I don't use them.

Arco does good work.

Agree, you should be able to get yours rebuilt.

Delco does make marine, they are the GM company which makes the motor, but Arco is also a good company IMO
Not yours but just example

You should have a 50 or 62 MM wide pulley, so could even look for Merc. The newer used 50MM

50MM 863077T
62MM 862031T1

I`d take the original one that you have to a shop and have it rebuilt. Cheaper than new.

VP used a lot of mando alternators.

local shop would charge about $40 to rebuild it.

I've had an ARCO in mine for a while, it consistently charges at 14V....

Do get a marine rated one.
