Mando Alt. Merc vs. Volvo
I am need of a Mando alternator. Found a good deal on a new one at ebay. It is for a Volvo and not Merc. It looks like the only difference is the mechanical connection of the wires. Is anyone aware of other difference?
Here is the pic of the Merc alt

That's it as far as I know. The quesiton is, do you want to re-wire a brand new alternator? And if you do, would you loose the USCG approval on it? I wonder if an insurance adjustor would have a problem with it.

Tried one wire alts, they just don't put out the current until they are spinning high. They may be capable of charging a dead battery rapidly but in my experience they do not charge a mildy discharged battery with much.
If it is only the electrical connection that would involve a ring terminal or two.
