As far as I know marineengine has some of the pieces but isn’t offering the whole kit.
Wiring a direct reading ammeter would be a pain but wiring in a shunt isn’t such a big deal. But of course then you have to decide where to put it. Do you want to know the alternator output, or the net charge into and out of the battery…..? I’m for the most part satisfied with a good voltmeter. Easier to install and gives a direct warning of overvoltage, in which case turn on some loads.
By the way, I picked up a (free!) ’72 100 hp parts motor (quite likely could be a runner) and I see it has a breakerless ignition. Of course it uses a different CD box–one even more expensive–but does anybody know if the breakerless ignition can be installed on a point-ignition motor? And how it compares in reliability?
