Just bolt in the batt / alt and go.

I called PowerMaster tech today concerning an alternator with 16 volts and they assured me that I wouldnt need the step down or anything. The alt puts out 18.9 volts and wont hurt anything, you dont get into trouble unless your over 20 volts.

I ran the 16 volt last year with no alt and it worked good, but later in the rounds was missing the alt for sure. I just picked up a Powermaster 140 amp alt and should be good to go now...

Hope this novel is helpful...lol
