Re: Has anyone tried one of these regulators?

[David Stanton]

I haven’t tried one of those, and you didn’t mention the make/model of motor you want to put it on, but if it’s a 1957 and newer 12 volt OMC’s with generators, not alternators; the generator only puts out about 10 Amps, but this is same as old Harley motorcycles and there are many options made for them that I’m told will work on the outboards. I bought one of the cheap mechanical regulators made for a Harley for my 1961 40 HP Lark, and it works but was slightly too big to fit in the solenoid box enclosure, so had to mount it outside the box. Some of the HArley mechanical regulators may fit, but dimensions are generally not in online ads.

Here is a link to solid state and mechanical options made for old Harleys:
