Doris had a good link to a fully waterproof altenator.
A bucket of marine grease on any electrical component is a must. Also fuel pump etc, al lot of people forget the simple ones.

I did, it was fully sealed and was cooled using water from the engines cooling system thereby negating the need for an internal fan and holes/vents in the alternator casing. Quite a few of the newer BMW's are using these types of alternators now apparently as they can go on for years.
Cant find the link now though.
