Alternator wiring

Post by Lloyd Franks »

I am going to wire my outboard alternator to the boat's battery. Need there be a direct line to the battery, or can the altenator be wired to any spot in the circuit? Thanks.

In theory it doesn't have to be direct but I'd highly recommend that it be a dedicated set of wires to avoid electrical noise and possible damage to electronics.
