Dick,  

Same here, only the temperature numbers you indicated are pretty much
reversed.

27 degrees here and dropping...

Joe,

I installed a group 27 AGM battery when I initially outfitter WindWalker II.
The Balmar alternator in 2005.

I put the start batter on selector switch #1, and the 2 house batteries on
#2.  

Much of that is described on the C-320 web pages.

Great day to sail tomorrow.  72 degrees in Coronado today.

Cheers,

Dick, did you add a dedicated stating battery at the same time as your
alternator upgrade?

Well I changed to the Balmar Alternator and the MAX Charge regulator last
year.  A great improvement.

Years ago people used to modify their 55 amp alternator and get something, I
think, call spa creek or something to manually control their alternator.

MY advise is to bite the bullet and upgrade to the Balmar matched set.

Cheers,

 Has anyone in Southern California replace their internal regulator with a
external regulator designed to make the 55 amp alternator charge better? I’m
looking for someone or a place to have it done here in the LA area. Thanks,
