Alternator Upgrade, Crusader 6.0 MPI CES


I'm about to have an extensive electrical power upgrade performed on my 2012 41 CMY. New LiFePO4 house bank, Victron Inverter/Charger, Solar panels, electronic monitoring system, etc. My budget couldn't afford alternator upgrades mainly because there was an unknown mounting challenge for a higher output alternator. I have two questions: 1) has anybody found a good solution for a high output (200A) alternator from a mounting and reliability point of view? 2) Has anybody had issues with mechanical power or load burdens placed on the Crusader 6.0 engines from a higher output alternator? These 6.0 engines are slightly underpowered for this boat in the first place, or my props aren't pitched correctly, because I have to trim the tabs full bow-down to get on plane ever since I added our davit and tender on the swim step last summer. I do not have a planing problem when the tender is not onboard.
