    LF Alternator Swap?

    You can put an ac tach bolt package in that Delco alternator for about $3. I would imagine you are installing an SI series with a white two lead connector. This is assuming that you are not using one of the (newer in years)*CS series which have a black rectangular plug in.* To the best of my...

    Alternator AC Voltage

    The alternator rectifies AC to DC internally via a regulator for recharging batteries and also running all of the accessories on your boat. A *tachometer* feed is normally about 7 v* AC, stays steady.* It is the frequency of that voltage ( in HZ)*that the tach uses. Carl *

    antifreeze

    Assuming that you had antifreeze in the unit. The green stuff is ethylene glycol.* MIxed 50/50 with water takes you to about -35 deg F. Don't dispose of in the water or let your animals if any lick it up they will get sick or worse.* Typical life span in a boat is probably 3 years, maybe 4.* It...

    pulsating water pump

    Yes you did mention brand.* Pop off that center blue cover and if I recall turn the screw to the left slowly until the pump stops pulsating.* Do recall your original screw position.* Got to thinking that a partially clogged aerator on a faucet could also cause pump pulsation.

    pulsating water pump

    One fix would be to install an accumulator in the system.* You didn't mention brand.* I know the late jabscos have an adjustment that will lower the kick off point on the pump.* The on time raises the pressure and when it sees x it shuts off is what is happening.* ERGO with all the faucets off...

    I'd love to know more history of my boat

    The HIN... several have figured it out but fwiw the ETY stood for Eagle Trawler Yachts. How to decipher the HINS are on the USCG web site, and so is the documentation information if you have a documented boat.
