Ive never looked at the wiring in detail but why would an alternator be connected to a starter motor? Its output should be a heavier gauge cable that goes to the battery - possibly via a split charger depending on what's fitted to your boat?
Not sure if that helps or confuses.

So if I am thinking correctly, the only way to blow the diodes is to momentarily break the B+ wire from the Altermator to the post on the starter? the B- is ran thru a fuse and grounded, and the other two wires go to the tach and charge light/gage. I still think I am missing the smoking gun.
