Balmar

<h3>About Balmar: Marine DC Power Since 1981</h3><p>Since its founding in 1981, <strong>Balmar</strong> has built a reputation as one of the most trusted names in marine DC power. For over four decades, the company has focused exclusively on helping sailors and power boaters solve one of the most persistent challenges on the water: keeping batteries charged reliably and efficiently. That singular focus has made Balmar the go-to choice for serious mariners who demand more from their electrical systems.</p><h3>Innovative Alternator Technology</h3><p>Balmar's greatest claim to fame is its lineup of <a href="/12782-balmar-alternators-200087">marine alternators</a> — widely regarded as the highest-output and most dependable alternators available in the recreational marine market. What sets Balmar apart is not just raw output, but smart engineering. Their patented <strong>Smart Ready&reg; Alternator</strong> technology allows the alternator to communicate directly with an external regulator, enabling precise, multi-stage charging profiles that protect batteries and extend their service life. Whether you're running a modest weekend sailboat or a fully outfitted bluewater passage-maker loaded with electronics, Balmar offers an <a href="/12782-balmar-alternator-2412">alternator</a> sized and engineered for the task.</p><p>Marine environments are uniquely demanding — salt air, vibration, and the need for long, uninterrupted charging cycles put far more stress on electrical components than typical automotive applications. Balmar designs its alternators specifically for these conditions, with robust construction and thermal management that keeps performance consistent even during extended motoring passages.</p><h3>Battery Monitors &amp; Charging System Management</h3><p>A high-output alternator is only part of the equation. Knowing the true state of your battery bank is equally critical, which is why Balmar also produces a respected line of <a href="/12782-balmar-battery-monitors-volt-meters-200146">battery monitors and volt meters</a>. These instruments give mariners accurate, real-time insight into battery voltage, state of charge, and current flow — the kind of data that prevents being stranded at anchor with a dead house bank. Balmar's monitoring products are designed to integrate seamlessly with their charging ecosystem, giving you a complete picture of your DC system's health at a glance.</p><h3>Expert Support &amp; a Legacy of Trust</h3><p>Beyond the products themselves, Balmar has long been recognized for its exceptional technical support. Marine electrical systems can be complex, and Balmar's knowledgeable team has a well-earned reputation for helping customers spec the right components and troubleshoot installations. That combination of innovative hardware and genuine expertise is a big reason why Balmar has remained a privately held, customer-focused company for over 40 years — and why the brand continues to be found aboard everything from coastal cruisers to offshore racing yachts.</p>

Product Details

The Balmar 60-YP-MC-120-DV is a complete 60-Series high-output marine alternator charging kit delivering 120 amps at 12 volts in a compact, small-case package. Designed for recreational marine applications, this kit pairs the proven 60-120-DV alternator with Balmar's MC-614 multi-stage voltage regulator for a fully integrated charging system right out of the box.

The alternator features a dual foot (saddle mount) 3.15-inch Hitachi-style mounting bracket with an isolated ground design and a Dual Deep Vee (1/2" DV) pulley. This mounting configuration is typical of Yanmar, Westerbeke, Lehman, and Perkins-Sabre marine diesel engines, making it an ideal direct upgrade or replacement for many production sailboats and powerboats.

Smart Ready® Technology sets the 60-Series apart from conventional alternators. The built-in internal regulation allows the alternator to function as a standalone charge controller — serving as a full-time regulator for simpler systems or as a reliable built-in backup regulator on vessels equipped with an external multi-stage regulator. The high-airflow frame with dual fan cooling supports up to 12,000 RPM maximum operating speed and delivers up to 60 amps at idle.

Kit Includes:

  • 60-120-DV Alternator — 120A, 12V, Dual Foot Saddle Mount, 3.15", Dual Deep Vee Pulley, Isolated Ground
  • MC-614 Multi-Stage Voltage Regulator
  • Alternator temperature sensor
  • Battery temperature sensor
  • Mounting hardware

Key Specifications:

  • Output: 120 Amps @ 12 Volts
  • Idle Output: Up to 60 Amps
  • Maximum RPM: 12,000
  • Mount Type: Dual Foot (Saddle), 3.15" — Hitachi Style
  • Pulley: Dual Deep Vee (1/2")
  • Ground: Isolated
  • Replaces: 60-YP-MC-120-SR-KIT

The 60-Series is USCG Title 33, ISO, SAE, and CE compliant, meeting the rigorous standards required for marine electrical systems. Whether upgrading an aging OEM alternator or building out a high-capacity charging system for large battery banks, the 60YP-MC-120-DV delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, drop-in-friendly package.

I sent in a return request haven't heard anything back would like to return this item

Transaction was smooth, shipped quickly

Found the right parts, ordered, showed up quickly. Works great.

Superfast shipping!!

This company is super fast to get you your order! I ordered online and figured it would be at least a couple days or so until my order would even get processed. I think they overnighted it to me! The package showed up undamaged and sealed. Unfortunately, I may have to return the product as I am thinking I would like the spikes shorter but that is no fault of Thmotorsports. Hopefully their customer service is as superior as their ordering and shipping. At this point I would definitely shop there again and recommend them.

I received my order today

Received my order within a week in great shape. No complaints! I would order from here again

Easy. Simple. Easy to navigate and check out.

It was easy
