Ditto. I I thought you got a high-output alternator, so you could charge up
quickly with a shirt engine run

Wow! What am I doing with a 120 amp alternator?

The alternator should be limited to the changing capabilities of the batteries.
Standard lead-acid would be 20 - 25% of capacity. So a 100Ah battery should
not be charged at a rate greater than 25 amps. I have a 400 Ah bank and a 200
Ah bank. My 90amp Balmar alternator could exceed the rate for my smaller bank
so an ACR, Echo-charge, or reducing the alternator output would be prudent.
I'm guessing that with 3 batteries you are probably close to 300Ah and
somewhere around 60 to 75amps is the absolute most you would want coming from
your alternator. Leaving it set to 60% is probably just right.

That happened to me three times in a row this summer, on a 6 day cruise /race.
I went through three belts. I had just installed Three brand new Deep Cycle
batteries. I called the Balmar tech line, and the fellow there kind of walked
me through setting the regulator down to only charging at 60% instead of 95%. I
don't know why it started to do it in the first place, but I think that it
might have had something to do with my heart interface 2000 acting up. Anyways,
after the trip, I reset the heart 2000 back to factory defaults, and it started
working properly again. I'm not sure if I should ramp my regulator back up to a
higher charging level or not. One thing I did after that, is I bought a Balmar
regulator temperature sensor. I think it cuts the charging back and the load if
it gets too hot.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Deal on starter from Mastry
I have to push the starter button several times before the starter turns the
engine over. I thought it was the starter button. I'd better check that out
before I get into trouble, and cant start the engine in an emergency.
Speaking of an emergency, after finishing a race, yesterday, we dropped the
chute and started the engine, as we approached a railroad bridge. We suddenly
smelled smoke, and when we opened the cockpit hatch, smoke poured out. After
closer inspection of the engine, we discovered the alternator belt had been
slipping, It got hot, melted and got stuck to the engine pulley. Luckily I
had an extra belt on board, and a half hour later the repair was completed.

Mastry (www.mastry.com) does it again! I just replaced the starter on Take Five
this weekend and got a sweet deal on a re-man Hitachi unit: US $128.44 +
shipping. Mastry's the best! They always have the best price, they even beat
eBay and the shipping is super fast.
That's for a real deal Yanmar / Hitachi unit confirmed to fit using my 3gm30F's
serial number.
Also the starter comes with a 18 months warranty, way better than the Yanmar 6
mos new parts warranty.
The problem on my old starter? I suspect there was a bad winding. It would
sometimes take 2-3 button pushes to get it going.
