Hi everyone, anyone pull their ladder mounts off? Is there a backing plate molded in with threads or is there nuts under there?

Thanks

Hi all, I have a 2000 M35B and what I assume the be the original alternator is only putting out 12.6V so it's time for an upgrade.

My electrical system is a dedicated and isolated AGM start battery in the closet aft of the chart table that is charged by the alternator (and an aux 110V smart charger on shore power), a 30A Victron DC/DC that when the start batt is full feeds the bus that's connected to my 300AH of LifPo house bank. I also have 150 W of solar that feeds the house bus and a Renogy 2000W inverter/charger that manages shore power and connects to the house bus.

I decided to go with the L/N 110-603 90a alternator even though my peak load is only about 45A (30A for the DC/DC and 15A for house loads if fridge is running and tablets charging, etc), so I have some headroom on the alternator. I'll stay with the internal regulator for now. I am happy for feedback on this plan.

I have done a BUNCH of reading on the site but still have a few questions:
1) Will I need to replace my pulley?
2) What's the best way to get around the water hose? And will I need to bleed the cooling system after?
3) What's the best way to test for belt alignment?
4) If I do need to adjust alignment, is there a better way to do it that just washers as shims?

It seems I have a lot of belt dust on the engine, and the belt looks a little crooked to me (pics below).

Thanks!!
