I have a 1993 powerquest 257 legend that I am putting a monster of a stereo system in. I plan on adding a perk switch and another group 31 battery. The alternator that is on the engine is only 65 amp and am wanting to upgrade that as much as possible. Does anyone out there know of an alternator on the market that would "physically" be a direct bolt on replacement with a higher output? Thanks in advance!

Assuming you have the Mando like I have on my 257, here is what you need

They have other options also if that one doesn't match yours.

You will also need to upgrade your power wires, as the stock is just enough for the 65 amp.

How would I know it is the Mando style? I have heard that term before but not sure what that means..

Mine has sticker on it that says Mando (the maker), plus the specs.

If you can get the Merc part #, DB can most likley get you what you need.

I changed to a 105 amp from DB works great...

I am taking it off anyways so I will just get the part # then. I'm pretty sure it is a prestolite. Sounds like db is the place to go! Thanks guys!!
