Westerbeke 8.0 BTD Needs a new generator end

[460Apache]

Just looking to see what others have done here. Not sure all the prices yet was wondering what others have done. Would you get a new or rewound generator end? Who has the best deals? Thanks Eric

Please fill in your location information for better options.
Whats wrong that you need a new end?

If it is really the windings, rewind is very common and usually much cheaper than a new end or armature.

Not sure where you're located but I believe these guys are a CSR sponsor and have had some good reviews here.

There are several generator threads running, one is mine (10BTD), and my experience with Broward Armature (good). Are you positive the back end needs to be re-wound?

Yes full fielded it lugged motor down and smoke from winding's. Broward armature is one of my options.

I sent my back half off to be rewound. It has worked great no for two years since. I lot cheaper than buying new.

Broward is very well regarded.
I used https://hansenmarine.com/ they offered new or factory reconditioned. New was only a few hundred more.
I self installed, wasn’t bad.

Three or four years ago..
I recall $2800ish + $300 refundable core for new.
Install was no special tools or skills.
I’m a Westerbeke 7.0 BCG gas powered.

I helped my dock neighbor replace his backend on a 1995 45 dancer diesel Westerbeke. Same process, got it done in the ER. I removed mine to make it easier.
