Greetings all,
I'm a newbie here and to Four Winns products!
I apologize if I'm starting a discussion on an old topic so if there's info someplace here already please point the way.
I bought a 93 Horizon 190 this past spring and I was going through it a few days ago to get done what I could for the spring. I had the alternator tested by my neighbor who owns an auto electric shop (so I trust the source) and found out it had seen better days and he suggested having it at least rebuilt. He also discovered it had been worked on before, two housing bolts were snapped but it was thrown back together ?good enough? to work.
He figured it would cost about $130 to rebuild if he could find another housing for it but he didn?t hold a lot of hope which brings me to my problem.
I need to find an alternator for as little $$$$ as I can and time is ticking!
Everywhere I call is ?pretty sure? of the part number I need but the only way to know for sure is by the engine serial # which I cannot find for the life of me!
I?ve searched the engine and engine compartment for the serial plate but no success.
Does anybody know where I can look? Is it hidden underneath or behind something?
Boat details:
1993 Horizon 190
Hull ID 4WNMS117K293
5.0L HO V8 (Ford) Carburated
OMC COBRA OUTDRIVE
Many thanks
