Thanks Keno!! Just what I needed. I've gone back through and checked everything else against the wiring diagram and it checks out. So is it likely this alternator was not regulating voltage since the exciter was essentially hooked up to nothing?

I hope I don't screw this up!

Without excitation, it wouldn't be putting out any voltage.You'd have battery voltage at the alternator output terminal and all the boat electrical stuff would be getting battery voltage and dropping constantly as time went on with no charging.
I'd wire it as discussed and check alternator output and battery voltage when running and it should be in the 13.5 ish to 14 range

I've gotten all the wiring straightened out and the alternator hooked up correctly. Cranked the boat and it's reading 14.5V output.
