[C38] up-grading electrical system

[1derful at comcast.net]

I don't have any  problems. 

My engine starts after 10 seconds of glow plug. 

He is a "fellow sailor" (not selling anything)  whom I rafter up with this weekend.  He just made a number of suggestions to improve boat.  He said there is a web site for Catalina that tells what upgrades are recommend.  

He mentioned something about a post-market support for the alternator which is supposed to prevent it from falling off which "would cause engine to lose all its oil." 

I believe in "If its not broken....don't fix it." 

I have gotten into trouble fixing things that work 

Thanks for your response.

Patrick, I can only suppose that he will do the work and bill you for it?  If you don't have charging problems, if everything seems to be working OK my opinion is don't mess with it.

I met a fellow this weekend who recommended upgrading my "elcetrical harness"? to one with more amps.  He said the batteries would charge better. 

Is that worth while? 

My boat spends most of its life tied into shore power.
