2004 Supra Launch DD Indmar After spending the afternoon on the water using the brand new battery I installed this AM, I noticed the battery wasn't being charged. Hoping to get a new alternator tomorrow but since it's a holiday weekend and I"m in the middle of nowhere, I'm not very hopeful. My question: do you actually need a battery once your engine is running? THinking you do as it helps the sparks but not sure. Also, if I find a new alternator, how hard is it to replace? And could I get by with a "car" alternator for a few more days on the water or does it need to be a "marine" alternator?? Thanks in advance.
