$688.00 - $850.00
Balmar 6-Series Light Duty Single Foot Marine Alternator Item # 861616
Description
Balmar Alternators are designed for recreational marine applications and are engineered to replace most OEM alternators on a wide variety of marine gasoline and diesel engines. These alternators deliver high-output performance in a compact, small-case package and are available in common mounting configurations.
Features:
- Designed for recreational marine applications
- Ideal for modest charging upgrades
- Dual fan cooling
- Single foot mount
- High airflow frame
- Maximum RPM: 12,000
- Recommended for use with Balmar multi-stage voltage regulators (Sold with alternators in kits or separately)
- Engineered to replace most OEM alternators on a wide variety of marine gasoline and diesel engines
- Utilizes Balmar's patented Smart Ready® Technology
- Internal Regulation is a feature unique to the 6-Series alternator
- Enables the alternator to be used with smart Balmar external regulation, or as a stand-alone, internally regulated alternator system
- Fixed, 14.1-volt charge controller is ideal as a built-in back-up regulator for the cruiser, or as a full-time regulator for systems where smart, multi-stage regulation is not required
- If battery loads are relatively small and your engine is running frequently, the alternator's internal regulator may be sufficient to support your electrical needs without external regulation
- If your vessel utilizes larger deep-cycle battery banks or the engine's duty cycle is less frequent (as is the case in most sailing applications), the 6-Series Alternator combines and works seamlessly with Balmar's ARS-5Vage Regulator or Max Charge Voltage Regulator
- USCG Title 33, ISO, SAE and CE Compliant
Pulley Designations:
- "SV" = 1/2" Single Pulley
- "DV" = 1/2" Dual Vee
- "K6" = K-6 Serpentine
- "J10" = J-10 AltMount® Serpentine
The selection process includes the following steps:
- Step 1: Determine your vessel's electrical load
- Step 2: Identify your existing battery bank technology and capacity
- Step 3: Select your optimum alternator output
- Step 4: Identify the alternator mounting style present on your engine
- Step 5: Determine your belt and pulley requirements

Great Instructions
I really appreciate that the Balmar company has gone to great lengths to make it easy for a non-professional to install the unit. There is ample signage on the unit itself, and the instructions are clear and thorough. Another brand I had purchased previously to save some $ had no instructions, assuming the installer was experienced. I also appreciated that the unit came ready for external regulation.
