I just found the listed replacement in iboats.com for $198. That's a good idea about the motor shop. Maybe they could test the thing. $200 seems pricey but this isn't a Ford Pinto either so maybe the price is reasonable.

I think it is dead.so I took it to Pep Boys to test. They wanted to know what kind of truck it came off. So much for Manny Joe and Jack. Does anyone have any experience with these? Am I just stuck with tracking down a replacement off the internet and hoping that solves my problem or is there some place that can actually test it? It looks like it may have a regulator built into the back end of it which I would presume would die before the alternator would..but again, I'm not sure about the prospect of replacement parts for what I assume is thirty years old item. This is a Motorola alternator which surprised me. I am going to start looking for a replacement but if anyone has any words of wisdom I'm wide open!
