Joe, the damage I was considering would be caused by exceeding the charge rate
for the bank size. The conventional wisdom is that typical lead acid batteries
should not be charged at a rate greater than 25% of their capa
volts.
The owner was buying several batteries a year and didn’t know why.

Don,
First of all, I loved you in Miami Vice.
I agree with Alan — get the larger alternator, which is what I did when I
repowered my boat with a Beta 30.
Since the previous Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) was a C&C 34, I also share Alan’s
concerns with being able to fit AGM batteries in that compart
Get the larger alternator. Also, remember that AGM batteries are taller
than lead acid batteries. You'll also need a new charger that can charge
AGM batteries. Get a charger that has a switch for use with AGM, gel or
lead acid batteries.

Hi
I previously lamented engine problems on my 1982 C&C 34. I had the original
Yanmar 3GMD. The problem was leaking oil from the intake manifold caused by
serious blow back. There is also a transmission problem, where it doesn't
always go into gear.
So the decision has been made to put a n

Josh,
I appreciate the advice - that was the approach I'd have taken if the
