My 50 amp Motorola that came with my engine has probably been back to the shop for diode replacement at least twice and still works, I keep it as a spare.
Since you are sticking with flooded lead-acid, you can get by with various 10si clones or another Motorola. There are usually a few A4 alternators on FleaBay for cheap. Try and find a 50 instead of a 35. Also there are tons of cheap 10si clones at various amp rating from 50 to over 100. You need a MARINE alternator, they are ignition protected. "10si Marine Alternator" will bring up a ton of them. Moyer also sells a couple alternators a cut above the cheap Chinese knockoffs.

As Dave points out, it may not be worth the cost to upgrade, I may just have my existing alternator rebuilt. Thanks for the info. Neil Gallagher Weatherly, 35-1 Glen Cove, NY
