ALTERNATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT: I need to replace one of my Cummins 6CTA 8.3L alternators in my Carver 455, and I have a couple of questions for anybody in the know. 1) Has anyone done this and reused the pulley? Buying one with the pulley adds almost $200. 2) Not sure of the amperage output, but I've been told it should be 130 amp? Anyone know for sure? 3) Anything else I should know about this job? Thanks!

Have sailed for many years. Decided getting too old for all the line pulling. Had the carver for a year now. 2008 41 CPMY Long learning curve on the boat, especially engines and thrusters. I think almost all systems are working. Really enjoy the forum, lots to learn.

Here’s a picture of the Chain to Anchor Connector.
Is this the correct way to make the connection between the chain and anchor?

I understand it’ll swivel and allow the anchor to be correctly positioned for the cradle. But it just looks like there’s a lot of weight placed on that bolt between the swivels. When the boat is anchored that one bolt is the weakest point.

We took down the canvas yesterday and went home. Carpet in aft cabin was removed a few weeks ago. When we arrived today, the aft floor hatches were wet. Scratching my head as to where this could have come from? VERY puzzling!

While replacing all 3 of my Carbon Monoxide Alarms today (I believe the old ones were OEM Alarms) I found a toggle switch inside the front birth closet. Picture below (the picture should be rotated 90* CCW):
It took turning out all the lights and being in total darkness before the reason for the switch illuminated! There’s a rope light under the front birth bed! Picture below:
Maybe its like the C&W song “Picku ...

Boat is away, canvas is polished and placed away. I still have 3 panels that need new clear Isenglass. I have had the canvas guy install O;Sea .040. So far love it.



The 2 panels that need it that I think I can do, are pretty straight forward and canvas is in super shape. Looks like ripping the stitching out, cutting new glass to the size of old (use old as a pattern) and stitching back in. Has engine done this? What did you use as a sewing machine? I see some on EBAY that look capable. Thread? a ...
