Rit: How did you reduce the amp output of your Balmar? Is it a setting on the alternator itself or something else? I am running two Balmar 100 amp alternators and I hardly ever need all of their output. I'd rather save the fuel (or increase the RPM;s) if there's an easy way to back them off a little.
Phiilp: What is your solution for the Yanmar 2GM's? MIne run the water pump on a separate belt. I haven't noticed any belt dust, but that doesn't mean there isn't any down there.
