The previous owner said it was replaced in 2004 but doesn't remember what it was replaced with. A commercial marine electric did the work but they don't have records going back that far. The engine is a Yanmar 3GM30F. I photographed all around the alternator with my camera phone but can't find any model or serial numbers.
It's a Hitachi from the symbol on the back casting. Maybe the connection configuration is a clue? The fan and pulley are all painted the same colour but there is no paint internally, so I don't think it's a rebuild. The regulator is internal and it does have a "sense wire" (connected to +).
Here are a few pics.
