Saving Old Seagulls

Looking for some info on the wiring on the alternator. Three wires coming out of a five or six pin connector.

I'm assuming it maybe the same as this. Five pin. reverse for high or low charge.





Cheers, Hugo.

Absolutely what i'm after. Any chance of you emailing me a copy of instructions.
Cheers,

Unfortunately the instructions have gone walkabout. Annoying!

Found them! Don't have a scanner so this is the best I can do. Only two pages of written word.

Thanks for the pictures. Will give it a try soon. wasn't wanting to just connect and go incase I fried the rectifier. Many thanks again.

The alternator fitted to the Seagulls is a standard Lucas unit, there are 3 output wires and it is rectified. The Yellow and Green is negative, the other 2 wires both positive.

As the mickeymouse red and black plug and sockets were never sealed and rot away in a breath of salt air, and who ever wanted to rotate the things to get less amps anyway, it is better to ditch the set up.

Go to a good garden centre and buy a 2 pin (or 3 pin and just use 2 of the pins,) waterproof pond pump connector. Both parts. Wire the Yellow and Green as neg, join the other 2 wires together as the positive. Then wire direct to battery for DC charging...

This will give max of 4 amp output and the waterproof plug and socket will not give a problem. When you disconnect there is a waterproof cap to keep the pins and sockets corrosion free on both parts of the set up.

hope this also helps.

Is anyone able to re-post the pictures or info discussed in this thread? I’m after the same info and seems the pics have disappeared. Thanks!

This is all I have....
