Wow! A fully tweaked C&C 43. Beautiful lines. Sweet sheerline and love how the cabintop blends into the foredeck. Great upgrades. First class job, but I don't think they'll get half of what they are asking. There are so many other choices on the market for less than $175K. Chuck Resolute 19

That’s what I do — flush one or two gallons of fresh water through the head during pump out when the pump runs dry. Seems to work OK. I also pour about a cup of Hydrofil, which I get from Fawcetts in Annapolis, in the head and flush into the tank several times between pump outs. This works bett

Re: Stus-List Alternator? Belt? Suggestions?

Hi Joe,   the point of the last sentence is that if everything else is OK, that being belt tension - wiring - battery - etc, the alternator should be outputting at least 13.2 V to be useful. I think Edd mentioned that he is seeing 13.2 "tops" and use to see more. Based on that alone I would guess

* above 13.2 V then the alternator is suspect.* This would only be true with a sophisticated 3-stage regulator that would not use bulk mode for a fixed time, but rather sense the battery was full and go right to float. A fixed set-point regulator should go right to the set-point with a full bat

Re: Stus-List Alternator? Belt? Suggestions?

Edd, Do you have an internal or external voltage regulator (charge controller). Regardless the alternator is probably putting out the amount of voltage required by the regulator. Often times the voltage being supplied by the alternator is different than that being sensed by the regulator. Recen

Re: Stus-List Alternator? Belt? Suggestions?

If the voltage is low due to belt slippage the noise should be very evident, black dust will be everywhere, and the alternator will get VERY hot from friction on the pulley. This will actually ruin the bearings sooner or later. As for not seeing 13.7 - do you mean that low or that high? I cannot

Re: Stus-List Alternator? Belt? Suggestions?

Edd, You should address any slippage regardless of voltage indications. Just replace the belt and adjust correctly. Slippage is never normal. As far as the voltage indications… after you have removed any slippage from the equation, a heavy load (such as charging a drained of weak battery)

Re: Stus-List Alternator? Belt? Suggestions?
