My boat "eats" alternators faster than I sandwiches. I use simple car type internal regulated alternators. They have only two contacts (Ground & +) and one plug for the charging lamp. + is connected to the batteries via splitting diodes and I am using a ZAP STOP across the terminals. Neverttheless all alternators just die on my after an few weeks.
Currently I am masuring between Battery minus and the alternator + 4.8 Volts regardless whether the engine is on or off. All connections are tested and tight.
Any ideas?
