I have a Caterpillar 3116 in my 1997 Mainship 350. The alternator is dying/dead.
I'm looking for specs on a new alternator. The 3116 is 325 HP. I have two house bank 8Ds which service house and engine. The generator has its own battery. The bow thruster has its own battery.
Do I just buy an alternator that fits the mount? Manual says that there are 60 and 95 amp configurations.
Ideas? Everyone is closed for the weekend, but I'll call Cat tomorrow.
