On the right, is a Yanmar 4JH4-TE (75hp) engine complete with a pre-installed, High Output Alternator TSP (Dual Alternator Total System Package). It consists of a ZRD ZCW3E1210 (94 amps) High Output replacement alternator, ZCCJE1222 (220 amps) High Output Second (Dual) Alternator, Engine Attachment Platform, and associated Electronics and Hardware.

May we strongly suggest that you review all of the information provided on our web site prior to giving us a phone call or sending an email. The response (information you are looking for) you will likely receive is (more than likely) already posted there in an easy to understand format. It will save you a significant amount of time doing research and it provides valuable information you may not have even known or considered. The website was developed based on the questions we received over the years on a daily basis. We are always adding new, beneficial, and unique questions and scenarios. Many have referred to it as a great free online resource (book). The Product pull-down menus are not just a sales tool. These sub-menus provide valuable information to aid you as you decide on a solution. The Web Only Specials is similar. The FAQs (Especially 1, 2, 3, and 4) are a MUST READ. The FAQ section will greatly assist you with your endeavors. It provides clear details on what to do and what to avoid. If you glance over or skip any of these areas, you may miss an important piece of information that could be critical to a safe, reliable, and useful electrical system. To aid in your decision making, a number of myths and outdated technologies are exposed. FAQs-5 and Company pull-down menus provide information regarding ZRD that may be very helpful. The Links pull-down menu has many extremely valuable resources for you to use at no-cost. Our website is designed for what we would like to find when we are doing our research and investigations. It is for the thoughtful, analytic, consumer.

Regarding pricing, review the Do Homework First link (under FAQs-5). We provide the most cost efficient pricing available; however, we truly desire to support our end users, unlike the vast majority out there. Discount outlets do not provide any. If all you desire is price, you will probably be on your own to succeed or fail with their lack of knowledge, expertise, and desire to provide support. We assist our customers according to their needs and desires. Experience has shown us that even the best require a small amount of support at some point. We are always there to provide whatever you may need.

TOOLS (under Links) should not be missed. There are many, often overlooked, items of significant importance to every sailor available. Take a look at the many varied links when you have some free time. They are so varied in nature that you need to view each to ascertain their relevance for your situation. All of the links are free. Some links may attempt to induce payments, but they have some great free data available without incurring any charges.

Browser Notes:     Due to its most common use, the ZRD website is designed for use with Internet Explorer and is best viewed at 1680 x 1050 pixels.
• Scroll down every page to its bottom or you will miss important information.
• Many photos are links to that item's web page or additional information - some browsers/versions do not readily display this feature, but as you move around a page, your cursor will change to a finger point if that item or photo is a link.
• The Menu requires JAVA to be enabled in order for it to function. Non-java-enabled browsers may use the following Sitemap links.
• There is a lot of useful information on each page of this website. Depending on the resolution and size of your monitor, the information presented may be out of alignment or wrap-around. zrd.com is Best viewed in IE with a minimum resolution of 1360 by 768. ≥ 1600 by 900 (17" set to high resolution and the browser session maximized) is best. If a 15" display is used, ensure the IE favorites tab (on side panel) is turned off enabling all of the website details to be seen. You may also zoom out (use smaller text size) on your Browser (bottom right).
• This website was designed to work properly with Interner Explorer. It works fairly well on an iPad, but it is not designed to be viewed on a cell phone. The screen is simply too small. At times, Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome have different screen presentations from how the website was designed using IE as the template. Firefox does not work with the Google translate feature/function at this time. It is increasingly more difficult to program for every browser available. The home page may need to be rehreshed (even if it has just loaded for the first time). Sometimes one needs to select a (any) menu item and then returned to the home page in order for the menu to display and function properly (correctly aligned pull down menu).
