Yanmar alternator and starter motor

JWhelan24

I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help out on this one. We have a Yanmar diesel marine engine that I'm hoping to source an alternator and starter motor for. It's an 8hp YSE series and at a guess I would say it's around 50 years old.

We are recomissioning the boat and the engine used to start from a crank handle. I believe at one time it did have a starter.

I'm not giving much info. I know. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to source such a thing?

Hi I moved you here where you might have better luck, When this is all over you could talk to Mick in Marine parts Direct they should be able to help you out and if not Mick's dad rebuilds old alternators and has a good collection in stock. ebay might also be worth a look. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1593860615 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ALTERNATOR-FIT-YANMAR-MARINE-KBW-10-YSE12-YSE8-YSM12-YSM8-1CYL-0-331L-0-510L-/323263955327

Check out Myles Balfe for the alternator if you don't have any luck, they are very good, really helped me out when I had Yanmar alternator problems, dropped and collected to and from the harbour.
