Gen I alternator / water question #1074708 10/15/14 01:50 AM

Need a Spot

I have an 87 Gen I with the 2.6Lengine. As you all know the alternator is near the bottom of the engine on the left side.

Somewhere along the line I bumped into info that indicated the alternator EASILY suffers from damage if it gets wet. Like doing a water crossing or even just driving in a hard rain.

Is this correct? Anything we can do to help prevent damage if it is correct?

Thanks!
