I have a Mando 55 alternator, practically brand new, for use as a spare in case my old Motorola gives up the ghost.
My Motorola is externally regulated by a Xantex (sp?) regulator which I got from West Marine a few years ago and which seems to give my batteries a much better charge.
How can I (if it's possible) convert my Mando alternator to use an external regulator? The internal regulator seems to put out 14.5 volts, which has me concerned when I am motoring for an extended period.
