Re: IMCO ALT/PS Bracket
So exactly how far down does it drop the alternator? I would be interested in the bracket dlb Checkmate if I could get some idea of measurements.

Re: IMCO ALT/PS Bracket
I did a preliminary fit test of the IMCO bracket.
Alternator was a tight fit near the oil pan but manageable.
I am already impressed with how it positions the Alt. and P/S Pump into a compact space. The adjustment turnbuckle between the Sea Water Pump and the Alt. will be the hot setup. Will need to install a support bracket to the P/S Pump from the IMCO bracket. Also need to obtain a 7/16-14x3" mounting bolt that is missing in the pictures.

Re: IMCO ALT/PS Bracket
I did not measure how far it drops the alt, but on the Checkmate the stringer is so narrow that it put the alt about halfway into the stringer. If your stringer dimension is more than 25" it would most likely work. I like the way it looked on the motor, just the dang stringer.

Hey RLW
Where did you get that line fitting for the top of your power steering reservoir? I need one of those for a Arneson conversion I'm working on.

Steve H,
The line fitting was already there when I bought the boat. I was told they can be bought at CP Performance.
I would check with Fred at Trick Marine for better pricing.

Installs between MK IV seawater pump and alternator, mounted on low mount bracket. Used to easily and equally tighten V-Belts on seawater pump and alternator. Includes rod ends and lock nut.
