CMI-105-ER - 105A Motorola/Prestolite/ Leece-Neville Externally Regulated Alternator

ALL ORDERS USA SHIPPING ONLY

 I Do Not Ship Alternators Internationally

IMPORTANT:  All CMI Alternators are custom built and may require a 1- 3 week lead time.

IMPORTANT: Leece-Neville recently discontinued the external regulation kit for these alternators. When the kits we have in inventory are gone, these alternators, set up for external regulation, are also gone. If this product is still in the store we can still build them.

The CMI-105-ER

NOTE: Yes the 105A alternator costs about the same as the 90A alternator because the stators, rotors and components cost us nearly the same. Some builders would rather grossly mark up a 15A increase in output but we don't!

This is the only Leece-Neville / Motorola case alternator we know of that is available & already set up for external regulation. What sets this alternator apart from an off the shelf unit are the components chosen to upgrade, tweak it and make it ready for installation. High copper content brushes, high output diodes, fit-kit & a custom billet machined pulley set this unit apart.

The CMI-105-ER includes a custom billet machined 3/8" belt pulley (not cheap stamped steel), an upgraded high copper content brush assembly, external regulation conversion, heavy duty rectifier, and a custom 1" to 2" spacer/bushing kit so it will fit either 1" or 2" mounts and accept either a 3/8" or 10mm pivot bolt.

None of these items come standard with any "off the shelf" 8MR you'll find. These features are all added by Compass Marine Inc. so you have a ready to run unit. Even if you were to source the parts and build this alternator yourself you simply can't beat this price.

External Regulator: 
We can package this alternator with either a Balmar MC-614H or ARS-5H regulator. We strongly recommend setting the Belt Manager feature to level three or four when setting up the regulator. It's also mandatory that an alternator temp sensor be used.

CMI-105-ER Specifications:

This is not a cheaply built re-badged automotive alternator with a dumb internal regulator. This is a marine alternator spark protected with a single 1" or 2" foot. The 1" to 2" spacer is included and is $26.00 in additional components alone.. This 105A externally regulated alternator is intended to replace the stock alternators found on many Westerbeke or Universal diesel engines or Caterpillar or Cummins engines. It will fit any engine that uses an 8MR style alternator.

This alternator fills the gap between a true high performance alternator (see our other alternator offerings) and the factory alternator. It was designed to meet a price and performance niche not available to boaters previously.

Features:

The CMI-105-ER comes standard with tachometer output studs (stator tap) for diesels that run the tachometer sense off the alternator. Not all engines drive the tachometer from the alternator, but most Westerbeke and Universal engines do. The CMI-105-ER is set up for external regulation only. It has no internal regulator. You will need an external regulator to install this alternator.
