Hi, My question is relevant I think. I have just replaced both alternators on my Westterbeke 33, the second alternator was added by the PO. When I reconnected the wiring to the alternators I found there was no wires connected to the second one. Only the wires coming off the charging post. These have 3 connections other than the 12V out. They are marked L R & P. P is for the Tach, L is for sense wire and R is for the 12V to start the regulator. I spoke to the maker and he told me to jump from the upper R connection to the lower one and then I wired the sense wire directly to the terminal on the battery bank the alternator is charging, (each alternator is wired to it’s own bank, one house one starter). I can cross charge either or both with my battery switch. Sorry for the long winded question are my connections correct?
