There is a happy ending to this story...

I received Jerry's old alternator (thanks Jerry!) yesterday but it was too late to put it in. So this morning I went to the boat first thing and installed the "new" alternator - and it works perfectly. Here are a few pictures. As you can see it was putting out 13.43v. I think that is appropriate since my battery is new. I will need to replace my dummy battery monitor with a volt meter to better monitor the charging state. The alternator looks happy to be back on an Atomic 4.
