Crusader Alternator

Alternators for Crusader Marine Engines

Hot-rodding was big in the 1950s and not just for cars, believe it or not. Speedboat racing was enjoying a massive wave of popularity, as it combined the grease monkey, drag racing lifestyle of the hot rodder with the thrill of open water travel. Cal Canal, a local Cadillac dealer in Detroit, was a major player in the speedboat scene. He loved fast cars, fast boats, and powerful big block engines. Because of his Cadillac dealership and access to high-performance parts, Cal Canal converted several big block Cadillac V8s into the very first Crusader marine engines. Since then, all Crusader engines were based off of pre-existing GM V8 powerplants. Popular examples include the classic Chevrolet 350 small block, 454 big block, and the modern LS series of overhead valve, pushrod V8 engines. When Pleasurecraft acquired Crusader in 1998, they continued the tradition of building the Crusader engines using General Motors blocks as the basis for the current crop of Crusader marine V8s. Crusader builds 3 series of engines to suit your marine interests. The Offshore series of gasoline engines are perfect for sport fishing and motor yachts, the Classic series is the ultimate solution for vintage boats and retrofit applications, and the Challenger series is the cost-effective, entry-level solution for towsports and are a great value alternative while maintaining professional level quality and features. As part of the Pleasurecraft Engine Group, Crusader marine engines continue to be the Most Trusted Name in Marine Engines. Crusader and Pleasurecraft Marine: on any water, they’re priceless.
