88 falcon alternator
Jameswest221 posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
I just got a 1988 centurion falcon. Pretty sure the alternator is gone. I am in the process of rewiring the boat and am wanting a higher output alternator. It has the 351w in it. Anybody have a part number? I have googled like crazy and cant seem to find the right one. Thanks in advance -
High Output Alternator
Shaggs posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
I have noted this season while running the blower or the ballasts or the radio my voltage drops heavily and the boat will only be 11v or so, and my gauges start going crazy. I run tenders and chargers regularly. I have an 05 escalade C4 storm series 3 with Black scorpion motor. Has anyone found a good high output marine grade alternator? -
Hi Guys, I bought my fairly low time 2004 Sport Bowrider last fall from the original owner, but really haven't had a chance to use it until last week. It started right up and ran great but the voltmeter was reading 17-18 volts which seems 4-5 volts too high. Just curious to hear what you all think might be the cause. Do I need a new alternator?

2004 Avalanche C4 with 350 Mag Merc I am having issues with voltage. I'll start with what I'm running. 2 Jabsco Reversible Pumps (only use while engine is running) 2 Stock aerator pumps for center tank. 2 Amps - Kicker 300watt RMS for tower speakers & MB Quart for in boats and 8" sub. 2 Batteries with Blue Seas Add-a-Battery system (has switch w/On, Off, Both & isolator charging relay) Stock Alternator (at least I think it's stock, not sure what amps) This is the problem I'm having. Without ballast full I have no issues with voltage. But when all ballast is full (2,300lbs) and on plane, voltage begins to drop to around 10 volts and low voltage alarm beeps every few seconds. Nothing stops working. Perfect Pass stays on, stereo stays on, and all dash stays on. But voltage gauge reads 10 volts and the alarm keep beeping. When off plane, voltage returns to normal 12-13 volts. I plan to replace the power hungry reversible pumps with Tsunami pumps for speed and less power consumption. I did not have this problem until I upgraded the rear ballast from twin 450lb sacs to 800lb sacs. I'm wondering if the voltage regulator is malfunctioning under load or if I just need an onshore charging system?

Battery, alternator, or perfect pass problem?
Podman posted a topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
Hello all, I am new to the forum and owning a boat. I recently purchased an 03 Avalanche C4 and love it. I have read lots of the previous posts on the forum and it helped me install a ballast in my port side locker. So thank you for all the information I have read which has helped me out with my boat. The ballast install went well, but when I fill my ballast with my boat idling the perfect pass goes on and off beeping and flashing. If I rev the engine the perfect pass improves. It also does the same thing if I am using perfect pass while going 20mph and then use the trim tab. Are my batteries shot, is my alternator not working well, or is the perfect pass screwed up? I have dual 27G batteries which I have on "all" on the switch. I think by themselves the boat did not start well. The batteries appear to be newer. I have not charged them myself at home yet. I guess a second questions is when do you use 1 battery or both? For example will the alternator charge both at the same time on "all" or do you need to switch from one to the other while driving the boat so the alternator can focus on one battery? Thanks pod
