After 3 years of waiting for my boat to be fixed, the last thing that just arose is a weak alternator. Battery voltage did not get up over 12.2 approx and really fell on its face when bow-thruster was used.
The W100's originally came with either a 51 or 90 amp unit. I don't know what I have as I am not on the boat and it doesn't say on the survey.
After reading more than a few posts, I realize the selection of an alternator is not so simple... but I need to make a selection.
I have no house bank to speak of, but will be putting in a large one in the next year. (used for refrigeration lights and electronics.)
Would like to be able to bring up the house bank after running all day without using the genset.
Advise please. I will either take the old one off for a rebuild or buy a new one on Monday.
