"Power Panel"
1972 Correct Craft Skier

For lack of a better term, I'll call it the boat's "power panel," containing:
1) a starter solenoid,
2) a voltage regulator, and
3) a 40 amp. circuit breaker.

The metal bracket is an ugly thing. Have no idea what that hole on the port side is doing there.

This is where it mounts -- on the intake manifold -- where an EGR valve might reside on a car.

Cut off the port-side corner:

Made a plywood mock-up and bought a new solenoid:

A friend gave me this stainless bracket, custom sized and bent for me:

Stainless is beautiful, but very difficult to cut and drill. So I went back to the original steel bracket, cut it with a hack saw, drilled and filed as needed.

Final version below. (12/11/13) Now thinking of replacing the alternator with a "one-wire" unit, thereby eliminating the need for the regulator mounted on the fwd. side of the panel.

Delivered "old" alternator to Broner Generator. "Guy" said he'd find me what I wanted, but I have not heard from him in many weeks. It's now 2/7/14.
