Alternators generate energy by using magnetism; sending current through a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire. Moving a wire through a magnetic field causes current to flow through it. The alternator produces energy by spinning a magnetic field in the rotor around a circle of stationary copper windings known as the stator. The strength of the magnetic field determines the amperage produced. If you frequently have to jumpstart your boat motor or your battery dies (depth drains), have your alternator checked because it may be failing to recharge your battery. As a result, if the alternator begins to decline, it will be unable to charge the battery as effectively. ALTERNATOR (18-5979) from Sea Star Solutions contains 12 volts and 65 amps, an external fan, and a 6-Groove Serpentine Pulley are also incorporated.
