Dave,
If you're going to bring it into the cabin, why not use a shielded
wire?
Or, at least bring it in and out on a tightly twisted pair?

Yep, that was the problem. I had it wired so that the field
windings were active whenever there was power to the system. I did
that to cut down on audio noise, but have decided to bring the field
lead back into the cabin so I can control it. Will add a filter and
live with the remaining noise.

That current draw for the coils did seem
high, so I checked further into it. Turns out it is the alternator
drawing the 3 amps, not the coils. It gets warm to the touch. Is that
normal?

Sounds
about right. I measured the field winding draw at about 2.5 A, engine
off.
