Richard Provided the alternator is set up correctly it should not damage the batteries. However unless you have a very large battery banks and are using a lot of power I'm not certain you will achieve what you expect by changing the alternator.
You might want to look at a battery management system which could be a more cost effective solution. Alternatively why not cruise for longer each day. Regards Paul NB The Rosery.
