Is our alternator working correctly? - Sailing A B Sea (Ep.136)

In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we arrive at D-Marin Marina at Didim, Turkey and contact a couple of technicians. The first tech discovers that our outboard motor carburetor is clogged by dirty fuel and hauls it away for cleaning. We ask the second tech "Is our alternator working correctly?" He says it is, but the old diode battery isolator has a fault and is not properly charging all three battery banks. He can't find a replacement locally so after 3 days we leave the marina and head for Bodrum where we hope to get the replacement parts that we need. For your convenience, we’ve included Amazon links.
