Hi I have added12volt fridge unit and wouldl ike to get abit more from my alternator. I would like to stick with the small frame size. Now have a Bosch AL 530 about 60 amp rating. I mesure ab0out 40 with a clamp on meter.

Any recomendations? I really don't want to change the pullys on the engine. Perkins 4230.

Hello Charles

My alternator in my cal cruising 46 came with a 120 amp alternator with the Perkins 4.236

I replaced not with a 180 am leece nevil
Alternator without making any modifications 

Try a leece nevil 180 amp

Mine came with a double pulley set up

Good luck

Edwin
