Just went thru a survey for a 2007 Sea Ray 40 Sundancer with Cummins QSB 380 motors. Appears to be no voltage coming from port alternator (readings on gauges). Stayed at 12.8 when initially running, but went down when operating longer during seat trial. (Starboard alternator is charging fine and stayed at about 13.7vdc).
Anyway, I need to get the boat south about 50 miles out of the marina it is currently at to my marina. I have the option of replacing where it is at, and it doesn’t look to complicated. But worst case scenario, can I operate it with the genny running and battery charger on to get it that far? or is that too much of a draw on the battery charger. (ProNautic 1240P) Not sure what the load is of a running QSB 5.9 on the batteries. When running during the sea trial, I noted the gauge was reading appx 13.6vdc with genny running and charger on. Just don’t want to overload the charger with this type of use.
THANKS!
