[C320-list] charging problems: Alternator replacment?

[David J Gleason]

Chris:

I replaced the alternator a couple of years ago with a high output.  The
original is sitting in my basement gathering dust.  If you want to pay
the shipping, it's yours.  I think it weighs about 11 to 13 pounds.  As
it came off hull #150, it should be a pretty good match. The tag on it
indicates it is a "Lucas Marine A127-55 MT ALTERNATOR. INS. RETURN" 55A.
12V. D.C. OUTPUT, Type: LM or UM (unreadable) 0393, Serv. No. 47920146A
