Ian,
 
   Great to hear that the prop generator has worked out so well for you.  The alternator and wiring is still in place on my boat but the driving pulley on the shaft was removed.  I will look into reinstalling it and getting the system working again.
 
Thanks,

We crossed from Capo Verde to Barbados, 13 days and the batteries were 100% all the way , all instruments, fridge, SSB and autopilot.
In Caribbean as long as we are +5 knots the prop alternator keeps us well charged up.
We got the 2000 watt generator so the hairdryer and heated rollers would work. Peace and harmony rules!
The solar panels and generator are mainly for anchorages. We hardly ever use marinas. They've paid for themselves already.
