I have a few questions about the possibility of relocating the alternator.

I'm a bit worried about getting into too much mud or water and toasting the alternator.
Has anyone tried this?

I hate that the alternator sits so low and exposed.
Any ideas? Perhaps make a shroud to deflect mud and water.

I have not had any problems yet, just tring to stay one step of a potential problem.
THanks for the advice! You guys Rock!!

 

I made a splash guard after I killed my first alt, it has served me very well and my alt is still holding in tough.

Here is a model I based my design off of.

Very clean. I like it!
Is that 20g Galvinaized sheet metal?

Thanks for the help!

 

I dont know what that is in the pic (not my rig) but yes I just used some sheet metal and cut it out to my likings. Then a bolt and some sheet metal screws and I had a good splash guard.
