We have talked with friends who have the Mastervolt and Balmar high-output alternators who are very happy with their set up too.  There are lots of new options out there, so look them all up to see which is best for your application.  No matter which brand, we're fans of the technology and think high-output alternators are a fantastic solution for boaters.

UPDATE**
We've been using this system since mid-December 2021 and it's now June 2022. So we're 6 months in and it's worked well. We haven't been able to get our tachometers working properly but other than that...the ability to pump in so much power to our battery bank while simply arriving at and leaving an anchorage is fantastic! We think high output alternators will be the norm vs a generator in the future. It's already becoming an option with some boat manufacturers.

FYI, we were warned by friends with high output alternators that we would notice a slight drop in our overall speed. That's because power is being diverted to the batteries. For our setup, it seems to be about half a knot or so. For instance, if we motored with one engine at 1800 RPMs before we would travel at about 5 knots, now it's 4.5 knots.

We've also worked out a couple of bugs that we talk about on our blog. So if you are considering purchasing high-output alternators, make sure to click over and read our latest update first.

WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.

We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.

Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.

We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.

Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity
