I have 2 alternators
– although since I have 2 batteries and I’m heavy (the plane that
is) – I’m considering taking one of the alternators out. I mounted
the second alternator on the intake side just above where the water inlet is.
This picture isn’t very good – but you get the idea of where it is.
It’s a small 6lb. Powermaster alternator.
Regards,
It would seem that taking out one
battery would get rid of more weight; unless you have some other reason for
wanting to get rid of the second alternator. Although I’d say a battery
is more reliable than an alternator.
I think two batteries and two
alternators is redundant redundancy, and a weight penalty. But that’s
just me.
