You guys are great my sail number is 903 I didn't know that was the hull number so I think the belt was to loose not a lot of room for adjustment the 40 was to loose. The 39 I had no chance of getting on got a 39 5/8 had to take the bracket off to get it on and the put the bracket back on it's nice and tight and seems to be charging the tack didn't work for the first few minutes it was running but then started working should I replace the tack the hour meter hasn't worked since we got the boat in September there is so much info on here and you guys have been a huge help thank you

Also the hour meter never worked since we have had the boat and the tack only worked sometimes is that a wiring. Problem maybe the po did something incorrectly when he installed the alternator

Ok so I think the hull number is no 943261 it's an 89 and we have a universal 25 this is our first boat so trying to learn as we go the po just did day sailing we want to go places and are on a mooring so we never plug in in the reading I have  done when you go up to 120 you should convert to a serpentine belt has anyone done this we also have a couple solar panels but from what I have read solar is only to top off the batteries not to charge them there is so much info my head is spinning I know we have an external regulator should I replace it with the alternator and get the kit I don't think rebuilding what I have is going to work time wise

Alternator what is everyone using our po put a Balmar 712-80 and after eating 2 belts in 10 minutes and getting toed back to port I put a tester on it and it's junk we use a lot of power I have a c-pap and can't live without our  Keurig I also figured out that the problems with the tack was because the alternator was  dying I've tried to educate myself but still feel I need some help I want to put a big enough alternator that I don't have to worry about power we have four house batteries and a starter battery

We live in New Hampshire will be mooring in Newburyport was wondering if there are any other c34 owners in our area

Hi we bought our first boat love our 34 it has low hours 1443 so I thought after using her for the past month or so found we still have the same hours any ideas on how to fix the hour meter
