Mike, I have a Hamilton Ferris 125 A alternator which was on the Perkins 4-108.
HF adapted it to mount on the Yanmar 3JH4 which I just had installed in my CD 36. It's the largest alternator in that line that needs only one belt. I've been very happy with it.
Hope to see you this summer on Lake Ontario.

Hey Tom

Good to hear from you and thanks for the nod on the alternator.

LaVida's cruising agenda for 2005;

A late launch due to Volvo engine contractor. ;- (

Sea Trails - mid June to end June

Put-In-Bay - first week in July

Return East to 1000 Islands - beginning of August

Back West in time to arrive in Olcott, first of Sept.

Hopefully we can share an anchorage and a jar somewhere along the line.

We are having a Sail In in Oswego on the 6th & 7th of August. CD'ers from around the lake.

Hope you can join us.

Sea U,
Mike
