Did you know about these?

Yes. I installed a Balmar high output alternator on one of my old
sail boats. That boat had an Atomic 4 gasoline engine and needed to
have ignition protection which Balmar offered. I believe the 4000
series Leece-Nevilles are a better unit and I can buy 4 or 5 of them
for the price of one Balmar.
