Merc 4 Cylinder I/O Charging System Conversion?
 

Hi All,
I have a friend with a Glastron and a Merc 4 cylinder I/O, The engine has the
crank mounted alternator.
The voltage regulator is fried, I think from loose wire connections.
I looked up the price on a new regulator and there is sticker shock at $375.00
list price and going rate is about $321.00.
I remember seeing about a conversion kit to install a external alternator,
anybody have that website?
Or is there any cheaper way to replace that OEM regulator.

Thanks
William
