[C320-list] Alternator upgrade

[Chris Holt]

I upgraded my alternator during the winter last year to a Balmar 80 amp with 
a MC-6112 external regulator.
It has worked great and I have had no issues with 80 amps being no enough 
oompf.
The reason why is not as well thought out as I would like to claim.
I had been eyeing the Balmar because of its reputation and Stan on this list 
just happen to be getting rid of his because he sold his boat so I picked it 
up from him.
