I currently have an "original" Motorola 8RG2009A alternator & it took me 2 weeks of PB application & patience to get the pivot bolt free. It was bonded from the bolt to the alt frame. PB did the job.
I am looking to have the alt tested & then determine my next step & trying to keep a tight budget.
I have 2 GC T105 & a group 24 for reserve/starting. My use is weekend on the hook & back to marina. Motoring at times for a couple hrs at the most. I have a Sterling 30 amp charger, excellent purchase from Mainsail. It will keep the batteries maintained & I currently have no solar.
Based on my use & current config can i just put the alt back on if it tests OK or is an external reg the best way to go? I've searched this topic on older posts & I got the gist this alt does not do a very good job, am I correct?
Any suggestion as to smart choices would be appreciated.
