Marine Alternators

J ust like the similar component used in cars and trucks, boat alternators provide current that is generated and collected to use on demand as an alternative source of electricity. Onboard a ship or boat, marine alternators  are attached to the engine, or to the propeller shaft. Alternators are simple machines with only two main parts: a stator and rotator. When an alternator is near the end of its service life these parts will malfunction. Here’s a simple test to check which of these parts is the likely culprit and likely requires replacement .

How to Troubleshoot Marine Alternators

There is a simple test to see if your alternator is working. Using the panel voltmeter, the reading should be 12 volts with the ignition on, but without the engine running. If you do not read a jump to 14 volts when you kick over the engine, alternator/regulator failure is usually the culprit. When you need a replacement boat alternator, come to Wholesale Marine .

Important concepts to understand & FAQ’s for charging

How much charging capability do i need.

This is a function of how you use your boat and the size of your battery bank.  Your charge sources should not exceed the charge acceptance rate of your batteries but they should be adequate to replenish Ah used within a reasonable amount of time.  

Why upgrade to a high output alternator?

Much of the time that you are running your engine, there is probably some power being wasted.  Having a high output alternator allows you to utilize more of the power created by your engine thus saving fuel & reducing charging times.

How do I size my Inverter?

Calculate your maximum AC loads at any given time.  This might not be ALL your AC loads but add up any loads that will be on at the same time. 

What does upgrading to a High Output Alternator entail?

Check out our section on important considerations for upgrading your alt for more info.

How do I charge my start battery or a bank of different chemistry?

We recommend directing the bulk of your charging capabilities to your house bank then charging any other batteries from the house bank.  If the other batteries require the same charging V, they can be charged through a Voltage Sensing Relay (VSR).  If the secondary bank requires a different charge V, then it can be charged using a DC/DC battery charger.  Here are some options .

Marine Alternators

When it comes to generating electrical power, alternators found in most cars and boats follow the same working principle of transforming the mechanical energy of rotation into electric current. Their main parts are also quite similar: a series of windings known as a stator, rotor, brushes, bearings, and some other components; some boaters even search for a more affordable automotive alternator instead of a specialized marine one. In many cases, such a replacement works, but there are still certain factors to consider when it comes to a marine alternator, and it's better to make an informed choice.

One of these factors is the ability of the alternator to provide specified amperage for a long time without overheating. An automotive battery is relatively small and needs less time to charge, while its marine counterparts often unite in battery banks, apart from the starter battery. Capable of continuous operation, marine alts use more intelligent, smooth methods of charging all the batteries to prolong their lifespan. Besides, many of them utilize spark screens, improved insulation, and better corrosion protection than automotive alternators. Our online store offers a wide range of marine alternators that meet all the necessary requirements and are crafted by leading companies such as Arco , Balmar , and others.

How it works: the boat alternator

• Callum Smedley
• January 16, 2023

Engine power relies on a healthy boat alternator. Callum Smedley shares how to keep it running smoothly

Alternators don’t only fail because of a worm belt. Switching batteries off or overloading them can also cause damage

Depending on the size of the engine , a boat alternator will usually have a maximum output of between 35A and 60A as standard – although it’s possible to fit one with a higher output.

Modern alternators (as opposed to straightforward DC dynamos) generate alternating current (AC) and convert it into direct current (DC) to charge the battery.

The voltage is regulated at a nominal 12v (or 24v) to charge the battery and supply the electrical loads.

When the boat alternator is charging, the output tends to be around 14v, and when the battery is resting it tends to be around 12.5v.

Inside an AC generator, there is a magnet rotating inside coils of wire.

This rotating magnet cuts the lines of flux between the coils, making electricity.

The reason that it makes AC power is because the rotating magnet has a north and south pole, which basically means that it makes positive power for one half a revolution and then negative power for the second half of the revolution.

Hence the term ‘alternating’. Boat batteries are DC, so the second part of the alternator, called a rectifier, changes AC power into DC power.

The battery must never be disconnected from the alternator when the engine is running, or else the alternator’s ‘diodes’ (part of the rectifier) will be destroyed.

How it works: Looking after fuel: diesel, hoses and filters

Looking after fuel is essential for keeping your engine running smoothly. Callum Smedley shares his top tips

In other words, DO NOT switch off the engine battery switch when the engine is running.

As long as the alternator is kept clean and cool it generally runs without many problems.

Alternators, however, don’t like water, so any leaks, be they fresh or sea water, can damage the alternator if they get inside.

And the alternator can’t be sealed because it is air cooled.

In the diagram shown above, the fan is the green-coloured part that forces air through the alternator, to cool it.

The air vents are at the back of the alternator by the terminal screws.

If the alternator is struggling to charge the battery it could be because the drive belt is slipping.

As the alternator produces more electricity, it gets harder to turn – a bit like pedalling a bike uphill instead of on the flat.

So, if the belt is worn or slack, it will slip. To fix this, the belt should be re-tensioned.

It’s always a good idea to check the belt for any damage, such as wear or cracks, at the same time.

If in doubt, change it. Don’t forget that this belt is often also used to drive a water pump, so it’s very important.

Understanding Your Boat’s Alternator

February 10, 2022

Having a better understanding of your boat’s alternator will help you to resolve issues and identify the correct device for you.

The alternator on your boat is a critical component of your engine’s electrical system. It powers the ignition system, provides on-demand power needs, and conducts battery charging . Marine alternators are designed differently than vehicle alternators and include essential safety concerns as well. Having a better understanding of your boat’s alternator will help you to resolve issues and identify the correct alternator for your application. Here are some important things to know about marine alternators.

Alternators Must Meet Marine Standards

Marine alternators in gasoline engines must meet the marine industry standard of ignition protection , which is not found in an automotive alternator. For instance, marine alternators have higher power demands than regular vehicles to power lights, radios, navigation equipment, pumps, winches, and other devices. In addition, marine engines are often installed in enclosed areas to protect them from moisture and sea salt. Meaning that marine alternators must be self-cooling or have an additional cooling subsystem. The sparks inside an enclosed engine room can be hazardous. If there isn’t proper ignition protection, this can create a fire hazard. Be sure to test your alternator for good ignition protection to suppress spark to be certified for marine use. 

Alternators Charge Deep-Cycle Batteries

While automotive alternators are enough for starter batteries, they are inadequate to charge deep-cycle batteries designed for a deeper discharge over long periods. Deep-cycle batteries need to have a high charging current and voltage for the greatest efficiency. If you have a lot of electronics on board, you want to ensure that you have a high-capacity alternator.

Additional Features of Marine Alternators

In order to meet safety requirements, marine alternators include many unique features not found in automotive alternators. Some key features include:

• Spark screens that meet Coast Guard standards to eliminate fire hazards
• Double-insulation to prevent sparks and electrical shock in wet conditions
• Fans and heat sinks for self-cooling
• High output at low RPMs to match marine diesel engine operating conditions
• Battery sensing regulators for high-efficiency battery charging and detecting battery cell failure.

Do Your Research Before You Buy

Before you invest in a new alternator for your boat, save yourself a lot of money and stress by ensuring that you buy the correct device for your application. Charging systems vary by type of boat and other variables such as engine type, engine room space, battery bank size, and battery chemistry. To find the perfect alternator, take some time to research different companies and their products.

What is Marine Alternator: How it Works and its Benefits

The alternator is an electrical device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Alternators are found in a variety of applications, from automobiles to boats. The alternator is a critical component of the electrical system on a boat. A faulty or worn out alternator can leave a boat stranded and can stop heating components as well .

A marine alternator is a special type of alternator that is designed for use in a boat. Marine alternators are typically more durable and reliable than standard automotive alternators. They are also water resistant and can withstand the harsh environment of a boat.

Marine alternators are available in both 12 volt and 24 volt versions. Most boats use a 12 volt system, so it is important to select the correct voltage when purchasing a marine alternator.

Why is a marine alternator important?

A marine alternator is important because it powers the boat’s electrical system. It is responsible for charging the boat’s battery and running the boat’s lights, electronics, and other appliances. Without a functioning marine alternator, the boat would be unable to function properly.

How does a marine alternator work?

Marine alternators work by converting the rotation of the engine into AC current. The current is then sent to the battery bank, where it is stored until it is needed. Marine alternators are typically belt-driven, which means that they are powered by the rotation of the engine. Some marine alternators also feature a built-in regulator, which helps to ensure that the current supplied to the battery bank is consistent and reliable.

Marine alternators are typically built to withstand the harsh environment of the ocean and are specifically designed to produce more power than standard alternators.

Parts of a marine alternator

Parts of a marine alternator:

• The rotor – This is the main part of the alternator and it contains the windings that create the Alternating Current (AC). 
• The stator – This sits inside the rotor and holds the windings. It is often made from copper to help with heat dissipation. 
• The bearings – These allow the rotor to spin freely and without friction. 
• The end shield – This keeps dirt and other contaminants out of the bearings and other internal parts of the alternator. 
• The rectifier bridge assembly – This converts AC to DC so that the battery can use it as power. 
• The electrical terminals.

It’s important to understand the function of each of these parts when choosing or servicing a marine alternator. If you have any questions, please consult with a qualified technician.

Types of marine alternators

There are three types of marine alternators: conventional, permanent magnet (PM), and switched reluctance (SR). A conventional alternator consists of a rotor with windings that rotate within a stator. PM alternators use permanent magnets on the rotor and do not require field windings. SR alternators have no field windings; the rotor current is controlled by a switch to create the desired magnetic field.

How to size a marine alternator

Alternators are available in a variety of sizes, so it is important to select the right one for your boat. Too small of an alternator and you will not have enough power, while too large of an alternator may be overkill and result in unnecessary weight and expense.

When selecting an alternator, you will need to know the maximum continuous amperage that your boat’s electrical system can handle. This information can be found in your boat’s owner’s manual or on a sticker near the battery. Alternators are typically rated in amps, so you will need to convert the maximum continuous amperage rating to amps.

Once you know the maximum continuous amps your electrical system can handle, you can select an alternator that is equal to or greater than that rating.

Advantages of using a marine alternator

A marine alternator is a great choice for powering your boat’s electrical system . The benefits of using one are numerous:

• Marine alternators are designed to withstand the harsh environment of the ocean. This means they are more durable and can handle more wear and tear than regular alternators.
• It generates more power than standard automotive alternators. This means that they can provide more power to your boat’s electrical system, which can be especially helpful when running high-power electronics like an anchor windlass or a fish finder.
• It is typically more efficient than regular alternators, meaning they will use less fuel to produce the same amount of power.
• These alternators generate less heat than standard automotive alternators. This means they are more likely to last longer and require less maintenance. 
• They have greater capacity than automotive alternators, meaning they can handle larger loads.

How to choose the right marine alternator

The process of choosing the right marine alternator can be overwhelming. There are a lot of factors to consider when making your selection, from the size and weight of the alternator to the voltage and amperage it produces. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice for your boat:

• Decide what type of engine you have. There are two main types of marine engines- petrol and diesel. Each type requires a different type of alternator.
• Consider the size and weight of the alternator. The larger and heavier the alternator, the more strain it will put on your engine.
• Choose an alternator that produces enough voltage and amperage for your needs. If you plan to run lots of electronic devices on your boat, you’ll need an alternator with high voltage and amperage output.
• Another thing to consider is the brand. There are a lot of different brands on the market, so do your research and find one that is reputable and has a good warranty.
• You’ll need to decide whether you want an AC or DC alternator. AC alternators are generally less expensive but require an inverter to convert the power to DC current. DC alternators are more expensive but don’t require an inverter.
• Some alternators come with built-in regulators, which can save you time and money on installation. Others may require an external regulator, which can add to the cost but offers more flexibility in terms of where you can mount the unit.
• You have to consider price when buying one. Alternators can vary significantly in price, so you need to find one that fits your budget. However, don’t sacrifice quality just to save a few bucks.

How to install marine alternator

Installing a marine alternator is not as hard as it may seem. Here are the steps you need to take:

• Remove the old alternator. This can be done by loosening the screws that hold it in place and pulling it out.
• Clean the area where the new alternator will be installed. This will help ensure a good seal and prevent any problems down the road.
• Install the new alternator by aligning it with the holes in the engine block and tightening the screws. Make sure that all of the wires are connected properly before doing so.
• Start up the engine and check for any leaks. If there are any, tighten the screws on the alternator until they are snug.

Once everything is connected, you’re ready to start your boat engine and test out your new alternator.

Marine alternator maintenance tips

If you’re the proud owner of a boat, you know that there’s always something to do to keep it in perfect condition. One important aspect of boat maintenance is keeping the alternator in good working order. Here are a few tips on how to do just that: 

• Make sure the alternator is well-lubricated. This will help keep it running smoothly and extend its life. You can use a light oil or silicone spray to lubricate the alternator.
• Keep the alternator clean. Dirt and dust can build up over time and cause the alternator to run inefficiently. Be sure to clean it regularly with a soft cloth or brush.
• Check the voltage output regularly. If it falls below 12 volts, there may be a problem with the alternator and it will need to be serviced.
• Make sure that the belt that connects the alternator to the engine is in good condition and properly tightened. A belt that’s too tight can cause damage to the alternator, while a belt that’s too loose will slip and not provide enough power.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before starting the engine. This will help minimize any load on the alternator.
• Make sure that all cables and wires are properly connected and secured. Loose cables can cause electrical sparks, which can damage the alternator.

Marine alternator vs Automotive

When it comes to choosing an alternator for your boat, there are a few things you need to take into account. First, you need to decide if you want a marine alternator or an automotive alternator. Marine alternators are designed specifically for use in boats, while automotive alternators can be used in both cars and boats.

Marine alternators are typically more expensive than automotive alternators, but they offer several advantages. Marine alternators are more durable and can withstand harsher environmental conditions than automotive alternators. They also produce more power, which is essential for running large boat engines.

If you’re looking for the best possible performance from your boat’s electrical system, a marine alternator is the best option. However, if you’re on a tight budget, an automotive alternator will work fine as long as you’re careful not to overload it.

Can I use a car alternator on my boat?

The answer to this question is yes, you can use a car alternator on your boat. However, there are some things that you need to keep in mind when doing so. One of the biggest things that you need to consider is the size of the alternator. 

The first thing to consider is the size of your watercraft. An alternator typically puts out around 60 amps, which may not be enough for some larger boats. If your boat needs more power than an alternator can provide, you will need to look for a higher-output alternator or find another way to power your vessel.

Many people choose to use a car alternator on their boat because it is a more affordable option. Alternators are generally less expensive than traditional marine generators, and they also take up less space.

Conclusion of Marine Alternator

Marine alternators are a great way to power your boat and keep you on the water. They are reliable and efficient, and they can provide you with the power you need to stay safe and have a good time. If you’re looking for a new way to power your boat, be sure to consider a marine alternator.

Upgrading Your Alternator

The choice to upgrade your vessels charging system will often include considerations regarding your engines alternator. This is especially true on sailboats where short engine run times are the norm, and the fastest possible charging is the desired outcome. On most stock marine engines the factory supplied alternators are frustratingly inadequate for charging a large heavily depleted house bank of batteries. In almost all cases they are nothing more than an off the shelf internally regulated automotive alternator and simply not designed for extended heavy duty operation charging large banks of batteries..

For more information on the problems associated with stock alternators please read the article  below:

In this image the boat owner has chosen to upgrade his stock, 51A internally regulated alternator, to a 120A small frame Balmar 6-Series and a serpentine pulley kit.

Making Sense of Alternator Frame Sizes & Output Ratings

Aftermarket externally regulated higher performance alternators are generally classed into three basic categories – Extra Large Frame, Large Frame or Small Frame .

The differences in case (frame) sizes can be seen here:

Many marine engines, other than some large Cummins, Cats etc., generally ship with what is called a small frame alternator. Small frame alternators run the gamut in terms of build quality and durability but none of them are what could be considered “ constant duty “. The only way I know of getting a constant duty small-frame alternator is to remove the internal rectification and rectify remotely. This is what I have done on my own vessel for charging a large LiFePO4 battery bank.

“ What does constant duty mean? “

What it means is the small frame alternator you purchased is simply not a “ constant duty rating ” no matter who’s name is on it. For years and years, with moderately sized banks of deep-cycle flooded batteries, this did not really matter because the batteries came up to voltage pretty quickly and then the alternator caught a break.  Today I have customers with 600Ah plus battery banks on 30 footers. This may seem insane by yesterdays standards but not by today’s standards. The growth & use of computers, tablets, TV’s and other  iToys over the last ten years has been immense. Today it has many of our customers exceeding the daily energy consumption of their DC refrigeration. Not too long ago DC refrigeration was the huge energy hog today, for many, it is computer, tablet and device use.

Small Frame Marketing Hype

The Real World Reality

The cooked alternator you see below was made by manufacturer of the rather brash statement above. It was marketed in what I would consider to be a grossly misleading manner . This alternator was a small frame, single fan unit and we have seen many of them burned up, from being over-worked while not being adequately temp protected.

Burned up alternators like you see below can happen due to a lack of alternator temp sensing/protection and/or a lack of being able to current limit the alternator. Compass Marine Inc. actually builds the identical alternator using the same internal components from the same manufacturer. We go a few steps further however and build the alternator with 400V 75A diodes. The manufacturer of the misleading claim above used only 200V 50A diodes. Despite the ability of our version to deliver significantly more power, and for longer, we would never, ever tell a customer the Compass Marine Inc., AMP-IT-HD125-ER , is a continuous duty unit. That would be pure unadulterated BS.

This one was charging a large AGM bank,LiFePO4 will tax an alternator even more than AGM, and this was the second identical alternator to suffer the same exact fate. Two separate but identical alternators completely cooked themselves in a matter of months. The pictured alternator was measured at 367F when the owner had noticed his tachometer stopped working. Upon opening the engine bay a thick acrid smoke hit him in the face. The regulator being used on this alternator had no alternator temp sensor and no way to current limit it. The regulator was replaced with a Balmar MC-612, plus an alternator temp sensor, and current limiting or “Amp Manager” was used. The third identical alternator is still running to this day, 9 years later.

T here is no small case alternator we know of that can run c ontinuously at full output .

Anyone telling you otherwise is simply a bovine dung artist

Please let’s not misconstrue the difference between a cold rating & hot rating and a “ constant duty ” rating. A hot rating and a constant duty rating have no relation to each other at all. In the industry alternators are tested to ISO 8854 or SAE J56. These testing standards help standardize output ratings at a certain RPM, temp and test voltage.

Alternators tested to SAE J56 are simply rated like this:

Test Temp = 23ºC  ± 5ºC

Test RPM = 6000

Test Voltage = 13.5V

Unfortunately this industry standardized testing is not designed nor intended to see how long the alternator can run at full output into a large bank of deeply discharged batteries. In other words, an alternators output rating is rated cold (73ºF to 83ºF) at 6000 shaft RPM and 13.5V. Simple stuff.  While some marine alternator manufacturers, such as Balmar, provide both a cold (79ºF) and a hot rating (194ºF) this hot rating is still not a constant duty rating. The hot rating is simply telling you the expected drop in max achievable output, as the copper in the alternator heats up to 194ºF. A cool alternator simply produces more peak output than one at near 200ºF.

A “ Hot Rating ” is not a Continuous Output R ating

Why don’t manufacturers supply a constant duty rating? The reason is pretty simple, it’s because every application and engine space is different and providing a continuous rating is nearly impossible to apply across each installation scenario. Below are three examples of measured engine room temps to illustrate why this is not done with small-frame alternators:

Boat #1 Engine Room Temp = 162.4ºF

Boat #2 Engine Room Temp = 171.1ºF

Boat #3 Engine Room Temp = 132.5ºF

The alternator on boat #3 is going to have a much better chance of staying in a safe operating temp range than the Boat #1 or Boat #2.

A cold and a hot rating are simply the short term outputs at 6000 RPM and the rated temp. If your application requires an alternator capable of prolonged continuous duty output there are options.

• Choose a *higher output small frame alternator and use Balmar’s Belt Load Manager feature to limit maximum output = Easiest / Least Expensive $
• Choose a small frame alternator but remove the internal rectifier and rectify remotely = Difficult to DIY / $$$$
• Install a large frame alternator designed for more of a continuous duty use = Difficult to DIY / $$$$$$

* When case size remains the same, the increased output, when choosing a higher output unit is not linear. In other words choosing the 150A model that is also available in a 75A model does not net you double the continuous safe output.

What About Hairpin Small Frame Alternators?

Where the hairpin design alternators shine is in better efficiency, which means higher output a low RPM. For applications where we have a slow turning engine or a need for a high percentage of full output at a low RPM such as charging at anchor or low RPM motor sailing.The hairpin design can produce a lot of current at low RPM.

The AT series really shines for low RPM charging.  However, please don’t be confused into thinking you can run these alternators full-bore into a 1600Ah bank without some sort of temp protection strategy such as Belt Load Manger and an alternator temp sensor. They are still small frame alternators.

In the foreground is a Balmar hairpin stator and behind it a standard wound stator. You can see why the hairpin design can deliver so much current at low RPM when compared to a standard designed stator.

Alternator Mount Styles

For marine applications there are four basic mount styles that make up most of the installations;

1″ Foot – Westerbeke, Volvo, Perkis, Cat etc.

2″ Foot – Perkins, Universal Diesel, Vetus, Cummins, Volvo etc.

3.15″ Saddle Mount – Yanmar & some Mitsubishi/Westerbeke engines

J-180 Saddle Mount – Large diesel engines such as Cummins, Detroit, Cat etc.

1″ & 2″ Foot Mounts – For aftermarket use most manufacturers will build  1″ foot alternator that can easily be converted to a 2″ foot with the addition of a spacer or spacer kit. This makes a 1″ foot alternator one of the most versatile in the industry and it has the widest engine fitment range.

3.15″ Saddle Mount – These frames are also commonly known as dual-foot or Hitachi mount alternators. The popularity of the Yanmar marine engines is so vast that it makes sense for aftermarket performance alternator builders to produce a model that specifically fits Yanmar engines. A saddle mount alternator, such as the 3.15″ style, may also be used in many single foot applications, with careful use of spacers. Saddle mount alternators feature a * drift bushing .

J-180 Mount – The J-180 mount is fond on large frame alternators and is very similar in design to the Yanmar saddle mount. The scale and the ID width is approx 4″ between feet and it uses uses a 1/2″ pivot bolt as opposed to a 3/8″ or 10mm bolt. Saddle mount alternators feature a * drift bushing .

IMPORTANT: Not all alternators, with a similar mount style, share the same offsets and this is why careful installation and proper alignment are critical.

Belt & Pulley Choices

No discussion regarding a marine alternator installation would be complete without discussing belt & pulley choices. Until very recently the marine industry has supplied most engines with single or dual v-belts to drive the stock alternators. The use of a single v-belt was marginally suitable when boats had very little DC load or demand but today many boaters have far exceeded the capabilities of a stock 30-60A alternator and have also often exceeded the capabilities of a 3/8″, 1/2″ or even a 5/8″ single v-belt. Some owners, who’ve been overwhelmed with belt-dust, have increased the alternator pulley size to yield more belt to pulley surface area but, this is a Band-Aid solution that results in poor alternator performance due to reductions in alternator RPM.

“Industry Accepted” Recommendations for V-Belts

• 3/8″ V-Belt = 80A
• 1/2″ V-belt = 100A

This guidance can be a truism, to some extent, but it will require;

•   Impeccable Alignment
•  Near 180 degrees of belt wrap
•  Extremely clean pulleys
•  Relatively short bulk charging duration’s
• A high qualit y belt

Realistic Maximum Amperage Recommendation

• Single 3/8″ or 10mm V-Belt = 70A
• Single 1/2″ or 13mm V-Belt = 85A.

Limitations of V-Belts

Lower HP drive capability – When compared to flat style multi-rib belts

Prone to over tightening – Many a boat owner or marine techs have over-tightened a v-belt in an attempt to minimize slippage or belt dust but in the process damaged a water pump or other accessory drive. Over tightening a v-belt does not really aid in less slippage and can actually have an effect that is opposite the assumed outcome.

Excessive frictional heat – This heat can actually damage the alternators front bearing and transfer excess heat into the alternator. Frictional pulley heat can also be exacerbated by the use of cheap stamped steel pulleys (see image below) which tend to expand the V gap as they heat up. This can cause the belt to become loose under load. Using billet machined pulleys can help to minimize this.

Engine choking belt dust – Many v-belts contain abrasive materials such as Kevlar or Aramid fibers. When these abrasive fibers are turned into belt dust it can actually cause damage to engines. Diesels use and need lots of fresh air for the combustion process and that air needs to be free and clear of abrasive contaminates. The idea that a marine diesel does not need an air filter can be an engine damaging old-wives tale . The image below illustrates why a quality air filter on your marine diesel is a good idea.

Typical Marine Pulley Types

Multi-Rib belts, often referred to as “ serpentine belts ” or flat belts are a more efficient design and can drive considerably more HP without developing the same level of frictional heat. Flat multi-rib belts approach drive efficiencies of 99%+ where a v-belt is nearly 2.5%-3% less efficient. Even with perfect sizing and loading the v-belt is developing more frictional heat.

For owners who desire more amperage capability from their engines, manufacturers such as Balmar/Alt-Mount or Mark Grasser DC Solutions (now out of business) are  offering custom multi-rib pulley kits. These kits bolt onto your existing engine and are a sure fire way to drive more HP with less belt tension and virtually no belt dust. The Balmar / Alt-Mount kits are usually a 10 Groove or a 6 groove design, depending upon the kit,. The Mark Grasser DC Solutions kits utilized an 8 groove pulley design.

Belt Wrap Considerations

Pulley Cleanliness

What About Double-V Pulleys?

Double-V pulleys are pretty common and perform far better than a single-V pulley arrangement but they too can be more problematic than a multi-rib pulley system. If your vessel already has a double-v belt pulley system I would recommend using it, unless you desire more than 130A to 140A of alternator charging. Years ago, when industry used lots of v-belts, finding  a * precision matched pair of belts was pretty easy (*Gates terminology), today, not so much. For the set up pictured below, Gates recommended their Aramid reinforced Predator Industrial Series belts but with limited sizing, in the industrial line, and the inability of the Predator series belts to wrap the alternator pulleys small outside diameter properly, the Gates XL Series was the next best choice.

Gates, Dayco and other belt manufacturers claim that today’s manufacturing process has eliminated the need for “ matched pairs “. Interestingly enough Gates still offers “ precision matched pairs ” for industrial applications customers? If there is “no need for this due to manufacturing” then why? Precision Matched Pairs are actually hand measured and matched but sizing is really quite limited when compared to marine application needs. For a high amperage marine application finding a well matched pair can be difficult at best. Your best bet is finding your largest NAPA, or other large automotive or industrial belt distributor, such as Motion Industries, and choosing your belts by:

•  Same Date Code
•  Same Factory
•  Same Lot Number
•  Closely Matched Production Run Numbers

This is a guide to deciphering Gates numbers and matching the belts as closely as possible:

Pulley Width Considerations

Belt Mistakes Can be Costly

Pulley Ratio Considerations

Most performance marine alternators are specifically wound for low RPM performance. This means they can develop a tremendous amount of their rated output at a low engine RPM. At low RPM, for many marine diesels, this means a slower alternator fan speed. Low fan speeds with high output is were some of the most damaging heat can occur. Always pay attention to alternator temp at fast idle , if you plan to charge on-the-hook. If the alternator gets to hot reduce Belt Load Manager and / or add some forced air cooling to the alternator, via ducting and blowers.

Also, each alternator frame has a maximum design RPM. Some older marine engines, such as those by Volvo Penta, had massively large crank pulleys that can result in as much as a 5.5:1 pulley ratio. This can actually result in over-spinning certain alternator frames beyond their max design RPM limit. Before installing any performance marine alternator, on an engine with an overly large crank pulley, please check with the manufacturer of the alternator for the maximum safe RPM. You may find you need to up-size the diameter of the alternator pulley significantly.

Belt Shields & High Performance Alternators – Not a Good Match

I know we live in a world where lawyers are purportedly waiting around every corner to jump out and sue you into bankruptcy but, the Yanmar lawyers have taken this threat right over the top. The belt shields on newer Yanmars really do nothing but create problems dissipating heat from alternators. If you, as a boat owner, don’t know not to stick your hands into the belt of a running engine by now, perhaps you’ll want to consider a safer pastime. I hear Trivial Pursuit is pretty tame?

Balmar has lawyers too, and they advise drilling out the belt guard for better air flow. This can help but is really just a legal Band-Aid. Internal fan alternators draw cool air in from both the front and rear of the alternator and expel it out the center. Front fan alternators draw air in through the rear and expel it out the front. Belt guards like this do nothing but make it more difficult to have a cool running alternator.

In this image the alternator is sandwiched between a hot heat exchanger and the belt guard… It’s a darn good thing they installed an alternator temp sensor.

The choice to keep, drill or to remove your belt guard is 100% your decision. Please consider the safety risk carefully when or if you choose to remove it entirely.

Alternator Position – In or Out

Here’s an insider tip that can be considered when installing a high output alternator. Ask yourself these questions;

*Where the manifold is in relation to the alternator?

*Is it right behind it?

*Do I have the room to tilt the alternator out a bit and get it away from the hot engine?

On many engines the alternator is designed to sit directly in front of a massive 180ºF to 210ºF heat source called a manifold. This particular engine room was not the best for photography but it illustrates an optional approach.

Here we are using the stock adjuster arm from Yanmar as well as the belt supplied with the serpentine pulley kit. Doing this places the alternator smack dab in front of the hot manifold making it tougher for the alternator to suck in the coolest air possible.

Stock Configuration

The choice was made to use a longer belt and adjuster arm, in this case the Balmar UAA or Universal Adjustment Arm. As can be seen the alternator is now out into cooler air and not stuck behind the hot manifold.

Optional Configuration

This owner really went to town and built his own adjuster arm to get the alternator out into cooler air. This is Balmar AT-200 with Alt-Mount Serpentine kit and the owner made his own adjuster arm to get the alternator out into cooler air.

Don’t be afraid to “ roll your own “…

While cleaning the shop I found a template I had used for a custom large frame alternator installation. It was mocked up in cardboard, then 1/4″ plywood and then I made a drawing to give to our local machine shop. The drawings are nothing special. A custom adjuster arm, if necessary, is not very difficult. In 98% of the installations going to this level will not be necessary but it is just another option you have.

Alternator & Pulley Alignment

Perhaps the most critical step in an alternator installation is ensuring the crank pulley and alternator pulley alignment is good (water-pump too it they share a belt). In most cases, with a an upgraded alternator, they will often bolt right in and alignment will be pretty good but, it pays to check it, just to make sure.

We have two things we are looking at;

Angular Alignment Issues

Parallel Alignment Issues

Here’s an example of both an angular & parallel alignment issue:

TIP: If the alignment is so bad you can see it visually, it’s beyond bad!

Checking Alignment On-Board

When on-board, alignment can be checked pretty easily by using a straight-edge. By clamping a known true straight-edge across the front face of the crank pulley, and extending it to the alternator and water pump pulleys we can easily check both angualr and parallel alignment. Parallel alignment is usually the more common issue but, alternator brackets made by the engines marinizer, such as on a Westerbeke or Universal, can tend to create angular issues more often than a factory made alternator mount such as a Yanmar.

For this task I generally use some aluminum “L” stock or 1/2″ square tube stock tested on our cast iron planer table for flatness. Aluminum like this is available at just about any Home center. You’ll want the straight-edge to be able to extend to both the water pump and alternator pulleys. Once clamped to the crank pulley, you can simply measure the offset from the straight-edge to the very edge of the belt or to a pulley groove center. The measurement should match at both ends.

One measurement that is often confusing is when you have a crank pulley and alternator or water-pump pulley’s with varying face thicknesses. It does not need to be confusing. Once the straight edge is clamped to the crank pulley the measurement that’s important is from the straight edge to the belt edge or the center of the pulley V’s . If measuring to the center of a pulley V, on multi-rib pulleys, be sure to use the same v-groove at both ends. A divider can be used to compare end to end measurements by measuring one end then locking it and moving it to the other end. For these illustrations I have used a ruler and edge of belt measurements. Please do not use “ to edge of belt ” if the belt is not brand new.

This end is a prime example of why the pulley thickness is not taken into account. As can be seen the face thickness of the alternator pulley is less than the crank end. This is why the measurement that matters is from the edge of the straight edge to the edge of the belt or the center of a V in the pulley itself. In the event that the face of the crank pulley is thinner than the alternator pulley a piece of shim stock can be used at the crank end to space the straight edge out beyond the alternator pulley.

For angular alignment the straight edge should be the same distance from the straight edge at both side of the pulley. In the photo above we can see the gap between the pulley and straight edge is perfectly parallel and angular alignment is also not an issue here.

The image below represents a case where the crank pulley’s face is much thicker than the alternator pulley’s face. A measurement was made at the crank end first, from the straight edge to the pulleys second groove and then repeated at the alternator pulley end and the two offsets were compared. The distance was essentially 23.15mm at both ends or darn near perfect alignment..

“What about laser alignment tools?”

We own a couple of these laser tools and all I will say is save your money , unless space is really, really tight.  The tricks you’ve just seen remove the need for these expensive tools and the laser alignment tools do no better of a job. A $3.00 piece of aluminum stock and a ruler or your navigation dividers from your chart table are a lot less than the cost of a Gates Drive-Align Laser or similar.

Shimming & Spacers for Alignment

Occasionally you can run into a situation where the aftermarket alternator is off by a bit. For Yanmar fit alternators the most common need for alignment is to shim forward . This is good because with a dual-foot alternator, if you needed to move aft, you’re either moving the alternator mount or machining off some of the foot.

In this image two washers have been used behind the Yanmar fit alternators front foot to get the correct pulley alignment. The washer closest to the alternator foot was sanded on a piece of glass, using wet sand paper, until the correct thickness was attained. This can take a while but the right thickness washer was just not readily available. If you know the thickness you need a machine shop can also make you any spacer you need. Any washers used for shimming should ideally be the same ID as the alternator pivot bolts OD. In other-words if you have a 3/8″ OD pivot bolt use a 3/8″ ID washer and if you have a 10mm pivot bolt use a 10mm metric washer.

Yanmar 3.15″ Dual Foot – Shim Forward

Dual Foot / Saddle Mount Alternators Can be Quite Flexible

In this image we have a Westerbeke engine that used a teeny-tiny 1″ foot Mitsubishi alternator that really conformed to no “small-frame” standards other than its own. Westerbeke offers a bracket to convert to a Balmar or other 1″ or 2″ foot Delco/Motorola/Bosch frame type alternator but the pricing for this bracket is literally insane.

When a 1″ or 2″ foot alternator can’t work the 3.15″ Yanmar style dual-foot alternators can often be used in place of a 1″ or 2″ foot mount as seen below. This image shows a Balmar 6-Series dual-foot alternator mounted to the factory Westerbeke engine mount (red part). Alignment has been set and  mocked up using shims and washers. Once the shim & spacer dimensions are known you can then hit a machine shop and have them make you the correct spacers in a one-piece design. In this case the multiple pieces behind the red engine mount and in front of the alternators rear foot, would be combined into one nicely machined spacer. You can always leave it as pictured too. I just prefer less shim-parts as opposed to more.  I have noted what I refer to as the drift bushing in the rear foot more on this soon.

Here’s an example of what it looks like to have the spacer and shim pieces machined to minimize excess part count..

Dual-Foot Alternator Rear Foot Bushing

The Yanmar style 3.15″ dual-foot alternators (also called “saddle mount” or “Hitachi mount”)  as well as the 4″  dual-foot J180 large frame alternators both use what I refer to as a rear foot “d rift bushing “. It is really just a split bushing that is machine pressed into the rear foot but other than “ drift bushing ” it really has no identifiable name. It does however deserves some brief discussion.

This bushings sole purpose is to compress the front foot of the alternator between the pivot bolts head and the alternator mount. It also serves to “support” the aft end of the alternator. Under no circumstances should the drift bushing ever be removed and the two feet of the alternator “clamped” by the pivot bolt..

This owner of a brand new alternator did not know what this bushing was for, so he removed it.. Oh jeez…….

This is a saddle mount / dual foot drift bushing :

This image illustrates where the clamping pressure is applied with a “dual-foot” alternator. Only the front foot is under clamping force pressure. The rear foot is merely providing support. You can see pretty easily with this Yanmar alternator bracket why removing the drift bushing can result in breaking of the alternators mounting feet.

When installing a dual-foot alternator following the guidance below will result in a worry free installation:

Alternator Pivot-Bolts

An alternators pivot bolt would appear a rather mundane item to discuss but, using the wrong bolt can get quite expensive. In the image below the engine blocks aluminum alternator mount has been  damaged by the use of the wrong size pivot-bolt. Using the wrong size bolt, one that is undersized, can allow the alternator to twist, under belt-load and can potentially cause damage.

If you let the above continue and ignore checking your belt tension and alternator when you check the oil. This damage destroyed the entire front timing gear cover of the engine.

Alternators are also susceptible to pivot bolt damage:

Adjuster Arm Issues & Solutions

An alternator adjuster arm is normally just a piece of plate steel that connects to the engine on one end and the alternator on the other end. Its sole purpose is to keep tension on the alternator belt. The steel arm is normally slotted, as can be seen below, and the bolt clamps the alternators adjustment ear to the adjusting arm. One problem with this is that the alternator ear is soft aluminum and the aluminum gets pretty hot. Through repeated expansion & contraction cycles, and on high vibration diesels, the bolt can often become loose as happened in the left side image below. In this case the bolt actually fell out completely.

Solution’s for Issues #1 & #2

In order to alleviate the issues associated with the images above I recommend using a bolt that will extend all the way through the alternator adjustment ear far enough to accept a washer, lock washer and a nut. A Nyloc or other locking nut is an added benefit here as nylon has a much higher melting point than your alternator should ever see. On top of the longer bolt the use of *an extra thick washer, such as the CMI Grip-It Washer will eliminate washer dishing & arm slippage. (Grip-It washers are no longer available)

*The Balmar AT-165 uses an extra thick washer on both sides because the adjuster ear has a vertical slot in it. For threaded ears an extra thick washer on the adjusting arm side is all that is usually necessary.

Setting Belt Tension

Just like belt alignment, belt tension is critical for optimal alternator performance. Too much tension is not going to necessarily be better than too having little tension. Both extremes are bad. Guessing at belt tension, using the Binford Mark I Thumb Press Tool ,  unless your really experienced with this, is not likely to result in a good outcome. New belts also need to be “ run in ” and then re-adjusted. In other words don’t just install a new belt adjust it and walk away. You’ll want to run the belt under load for a period of time then make a second adjustment.

Now that you know what belt tension you need, use of the Gates KRIKIT tools can be used to measure the actual belt tension. A pencil styl tool can also be used but they are more difficult. The Gates KRIKIT tools are inexpensive and pretty easy to use.

Balmar Serpentine Belt Tension:

For Balmar AltMount J10 belts, these are adjusted similarly, by deflection, but not to the same spec as a v-belt. With a 10-groove J-section belt, the correct tension is 1/32” of deflection, for each inch of belt span between pulleys. Deflection pressure is 25 pounds applied in the middle of the longest span. A “pencil type” deflection tester, such as the Gates 7401-0076 is used to test for the 25 points of deflection.

Setting Belt Tension:

For placing tension on the belt I am pretty old school. I still use, nearly 90% of the time, a pry-bar with some heavy duty heat shrink over it. It works really well and the heat shrink prevents scratches on engines and alternators. You just need to find a good point to land it on the engine and alternator.

At the shop here, we also own a product called a Supco Belt Jack . This one, shown on top in the photo below, is the shops fourth and last one. I find this tool entirely under-designed and woefully inadequate. Hopefully this can save you some headache and money. This one is brand new because the last three broke where the pulley pad meets the jack. The welds seem to fail no matter how careful you try to be with it. Even when they do work, and it will for a short period of time, I still prefer the old school pry-bar method. If you feel you want a belt-jack, to adjust your belt, one can easily be made from an old turnbuckle for a lot less money. Done correctly it will likely also be considerably more robust than the Supco Belt Jack.

The best & easiest way we’ve found to adjust alternator belt tension is with the Balmar UBB – Universal Adjuster Arm With Belt Buddy . This is an excellent addition to any alternator upgrade you’re considering tackling.

Good luck with your project and happy boating!!

Electric boats

Electric boat, halevai looks to further electrify the marine segment with its american-made long-range boat.

Young electric boat maker Halevai is on the cusp of production of its flagship model, 2050, which promises some of the best range and power in a blossoming sustainable marine industry. This locally built recreational vessel was designed for safety and performance to provide customers with “the most technologically advanced on-board experience.”

Halevai is a concept boat manufacturer founded in 2020 that combines its expertise in engineering, design, and conservation to try and build the safest, renewable, and cost-efficient electric boats ever made.

For the last four years, Halevai has worked under the radar in research and development to achieve said goal, recruiting trusted partners in the industry, such as Hyper Craft, Mercury Marine , and Navico Group. By utilizing the powertrain and motor technology through scalable partnerships with those marine industry veterans, Halevai believes it can deliver an electric boat that offers the most power at the best price. Per its website:

The American marine landscape is vast and diverse. None of the work we are doing at Halevai is possible without the clear understanding that we must and we will protect the life support system of our planet. Whether we are in a mountain lake, an inlet, a bay or in the open ocean we are connected to the life force of this planet, our ocean. We have a responsibility to protect and communicate with each other and find new ways to boat more responsibly.

The culmination of this R&D is Halevai’s flagship vessel – the Model2050. This 24-foot recreational boat looks like an impressive start and will soon be available to customers looking to navigate waters without all those nasty carbon emissions.

Halevai Model2050 electric boat to begin production soon

Halevai recently launched the Model2050 as its first all-electric vessel available for sale. This 24-foot all-electric boat features a fiberglass-infused E-QXCFM 3515 hull, housing a 60 or 120-kWh marine-grade battery pack and room for ten passengers.

Combined with a Mercury Alpha 1 Gen 2 drivetrain creating 300 hp, Halevai’s Model2050 electric boat delivers a cruising speed of 25 mph and a top speed of 35+ mph, promising up to 50 nautical miles of range on a charge (standard pack). The vessel has a 6.6 kW onboard charger and an optional 30/40/50 amp charging station.

Other features include a customized 12-inch navigation screen, a high-power surround sound system, keyless startup, and three select drive modes.

Halevai recognizes that current boat-building practices need to be cleaner, circular, or sustainable but is committed to leading the movement. The Model2050 is equipped with 100% organic cork flooring, including its 26″ swim deck in the rear.

A giant ship. A power blackout. A scramble to stop traffic: How Baltimore bridge collapsed

BALTIMORE − Under a nearly full moon and lightly cloudy skies, the Dali pulled away from the pier just before 12:45 a.m., aided by the sibling tugs Eric and Bridget McAllister.

Loaded with cargo containers from one of the nation's busiest ports, the ship planned to steam east across the Atlantic Ocean and past the southern tip of South Africa before entering the Indian Ocean and making port in Sri Lanka.

Facing a 28-day journey − at least a week longer than if it had used the Suez Canal and the Red Sea − the captain and crew stocked up on personal items at a Baltimore Walmart on Sunday before they left.

They were in good spirits that day, said Andrew Middleton, a nonprofit seaman's aid service director who took the men shopping Sunday. "We talked about the Red Sea," Middleton said, "and how long the trip was going to take."

Houthi rebels have been attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea, and the Dali's captain planned to take the longer route for safety. Last year the ship sailed a distance very nearly the sum of the Earth's circumference, hauling cargo to and from Asia.

Built in 2015 in Korea, the 985-foot-long ship was made to carry shipping containers, which can hold everything from televisions to SUVs. Company officials said 22 crew members were aboard the ship as it left, all of them Indian nationals.

With the Eric McAllister ahead and the Bridget McAllister astern, the Dali pulled a U-turn away from the Seagirt Marine Terminal and headed toward a pair of navigation buoys marking the channel.

Although the Dali can cruise around 22 mph, the captain, a harbor pilot and an apprentice pilot kept the speed about 9 mph as the tugs cast off their lines and returned to the port for their next assignment.

Their course would take them down the Patapsco River toward the Chesapeake Bay and then the open ocean. On its way down the river, the ship would slip beneath the Francis Scott Key Bridge . It would be a straight shot.

Maps and graphics: How the Baltimore bridge collapse unfolded

Contractors working above as the Dali approached

Towering hundreds of feet above the water, the Francis Scott Key Bridge had for decades been a key link in coastal travel. Opened in 1977, the bridge is named in honor of the poet who wrote the words to "The Star Spangled Banner." Including its approach ramps and roadways, the bridge is nearly 11 miles long. Its height meant massive container ships like the Dali could pass safely beneath.

The bridge carried about 33,000 vehicles a day, everything from commuters in their cars and SUVs to gasoline tankers and trucks hauling propane. Because hazmat trucks like gas tankers are barred from the tunnels other vehicles can use, the bridge also provided a key link for truckers in the network of roads around Baltimore.

The bridge was maintained and owned by the Maryland Transportation Authority. A federal inspection from 2021 listed it in fair overall condition.

Maryland officials say the bridge crosses the river less than 100 yards from where Francis Scott Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry on Sept. 12, 1814, inspiring the words to what is now the national anthem. Officials began building the $60 million bridge after the first harbor crossing, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, reached capacity.

As the Dali approached, the bridge was open but an eight-person contracting crew was repairing potholes in the decking pavement 185 feet above the water.

The hulking ship moved through the water far more slowly than it would at sea. But even at low speed, a ship nearly 1,000 feet long moves with tremendous inertia, said Allan Post, deputy superintendent at Texas A&M Maritime Academy in Galveston, who holds a captain’s license.

It changes direction slowly. As its deep hull displaces water in a narrow ship channel, powerful suction forces can redirect it from below. In close quarters, a crew will keep both anchors at the ready to deploy.

But a ship weighing 95,000 tons − empty − can't simply be thrown into reverse.

"A vessel traveling like that," Post said, "could be a couple miles before it comes to a full stop.  It’s the scale of these vessels that people don’t quite understand."

The ship drew closer to the bridge. Then its lights went black.

Authorities say the Dali lost power as it approached bridge

At the time of the crash, the ship carried about 4,700 containers, which are counted in what are known as "TEUs" or 20-foot equivalent containers. The Dali can hold 10,000 TEUs, and an empty container by itself weighs more than 5,000 pounds.

Investigation: Baltimore bridge collapse wasn't first major accident for giant container ship Dali

Livestream video of the bridge at the time shows the ship's navigation and warning lights blinking out around 1:24 a.m. The ship begins turning to starboard, to the right when facing forward.

In the video, some of the ship's lights return. Heavy smoke begins billowing from the ship's exhaust stack, and then the lights blink out again.

Clay Diamond, executive director of the American Pilots’ Association, said the ship suffered a "complete loss" of propulsion. Diamond's association represents the Maryland agency that licenses its state pilots.

Those pilots are responsible for guiding ships and their crews into and out of commercial ports, each one with its own unique channels, tidal flows and navigational hazards. Each pilot serves aboard ships then trains for many additional years before taking the job. "Pilots are considered to be the most highly trained mariners in the world," he said.

The pilot asked the captain to get the engines back online, he said. "They weren’t able to do that, so the pilot took all the action he could," Diamond said. "He tried to steer, to keep the ship in the channel. He also dropped the ship’s anchor port to slow the ship and guide the direction. Neither one was enough. The ship never did regain its engine power.”

Diamond said the ship initially retained some maneuverability while it was coasting but lost speed. He said a ship that big quickly becomes subject to wind and water movement without propulsion.

"This was a complete blackout of all the power on the ship, so that’s unusual. Of course this happened at the worst possible location," Diamond said. "There was no way to control the ship once the engine had a blackout.” 

Dali's crew broadcast a mayday call.

Two miles away in port, the tugboat Eric McAllister flipped a hard U-turn and began racing the two miles to catch up.

A rush to stop traffic as ship approached bridge

High above the water, workers saw the ship approaching. Police called for traffic to be shut down crossing the bridge.

"I need one of you guys on the south side, one of you guys on the north side, hold all traffic on the Key Bridge. There's a ship approaching that just lost their steering so until we get that under control, we've got to stop all traffic," a worker radioed to colleagues, according to the emergency-radio archiving system Broadcastify. "Just make sure no one's on the bridge right now."

Officials say that saved lives.

“These people are heroes,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Tuesday morning. "We’re thankful that between the mayday and the collapse we had officials who were able to begin to stop the flow of traffic so more cars were not up on the bridge."

But that radio call included one other key message.

"I'm not sure where, but there's a crew up there," the worker in the radio call said. "You might want to notify whoever foreman is, see if we can get them off the bridge temporarily."

At 1:27 a.m., the ship plowed into the bridge's southern support tower.

Gravity took over.

Dali hits the Key bridge

Jayme Krause felt the collapse. She just didn't know what it was.

At first thought she had hit something in the Amazon logistics facility where she works preparing packages for shipment, or it was an intense thunderstorm. She turned around and realized the rest of her co-workers had felt the same tremor.

With their break coming up, Krause and her colleagues ventured out to see just what had happened.

"It was a shocking sight to see, because you’ve lived your whole life here, and you’ve seen this thing your entire life, and then one day, you go outside, and it’s not there," Krause told Reuters on Tuesday during a Zoom interview from her home in Baltimore.

In a shower of sparks, the bridge fell across the Dali's bow as other sections splashed into the channel.

"Dispatch, the whole bridge just fell down," radioed a worker, stammering. "Start − start whoever, everybody. The whole bridge just collapsed."

Unlike some other bridge designs, steel-truss bridges are prone to catastrophic failures , and officials have documented more than 500 of them in the United States alone in the past decade. The main reason: They're one continuous structure, with each segment depending on the others. Still, experts say there was no way any bridge would have survived the Dali's impact.

“You go frame by frame in the video and you can see the support removed, and then as you watch, the entire structure comes down," said Benjamin W. Schafer, a civil engineering professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. “Literally the whole bridge comes down as a rigid body. If that had been a highway bridge you would have watched one concrete beam (fall), but in this case it's dramatic, like a whole pile of spaghetti."

From the Amazon facility where Jayme Krause stood at the edge of the water, she couldn't see anyone, nor hear any cries for help.

Frantic search for Key bridge collapse survivors

Even as the bridge was still collapsing, a swarm of rescue boats, including the two McAllister tugs, were racing to the scene. Within minutes they were joined by the Coast Guard and other vessels.

On the bridge, a group of eight workers had been repairing asphalt at the time.

Two were rescued, one unharmed and one in "very serious condition," according to Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld. Six other workers were still missing as of Tuesday evening. The Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed two of the missing were from Guatemala, and the other four were from Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.

"To hear the words 'the Key Bridge has collapsed,' it’s shocking, and heartbreaking," Moore said.

Later that morning, President Joe Biden would address the country. He noted the search would be agonizing for families of the missing. “I know," he said, "every minute in that circumstance feels like a lifetime.”

The Dali's owners said there were no reports of pollution leaking from the ship.

But the search for survivors, in water that was 46 to 48 degrees, was another matter.

At 7:30 p.m., officials said, they called off the rescue effort not just for the night but for good and switched to recovery mode.

“Based on the length of time that we’ve gone on this search, the extensive search efforts that we’ve put into it, the water temperature," Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon N. Gilreath said in a news conference, "at this point we do not believe that we’re going to find any of these individuals still alive." 

What happens next to Key bridge and Baltimore port?

Aboard the Dali, the crew was safe. The ship's manager said there were no injuries. And Middleton, who took the crew shopping over the weekend, said he texted with a crew member as soon as he realized what had happened.

"My question to him was, 'Is everyone OK?' And the answer was, 'Yes sir, everyone is safe,'" Middleton told USA TODAY.

The crew was still aboard the ship while authorities assessed the situation Tuesday. Middleton said he's prepared to send them any supplies they need if they're stuck aboard for an extended period. And he said he's making plans to help them once they're freed and returned to shore.

He said he expects the Dali will be towed back into the harbor and docked for a damage assessment. And he said he worries about the missing bridge workers but also the port workers who may be temporarily unemployed if the harbor is shut down.

"The people who were on the bridge, we pray for them and their families, pray that everyone is rescued safely and alive," he said. "Obviously, this incident has a large impact on the port community. If this extends a long period of time, we're going to have longshoreman and stevedores who are not working, tugboat crews who are not working. It has the potential, if it becomes a drawn-out event, to affect many lives."

Biden promises to rebuild Key bridge

Even as rescue workers searched for survivors, Biden vowed to rebuild the bridge. Biden noted he has been across the bridge many times.

Still uncertain is the fate of cargo ships stuck inside the harbor, and others waiting to enter. Authorities will have to somehow remove the shattered bridge from the channel floor to make room for deep-draft ships, although smaller ones can float above it.

Shortly after the bridge collapsed, the Port of Baltimore suspended vessel traffic “until further notice,” according to its website.

Experts say the collapse will force shippers to use other ports, potentially lengthening delivery times and raising costs.

Last year, the Port of Baltimore handled a record 847,158 cars and light trucks, more than any other U.S. port, according to Moore’s office. Overall, the port handled 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo worth $80 billion, making it the nation’s ninth busiest. The facility also handled 1.3 million tons of farm and construction machinery, the most of any U.S. port.

"To the people of Baltimore, I want to say: We’re with you," Biden said Tuesday afternoon. "We’re going to stay with you as long as takes. And like the governor said, you’re Maryland tough, you’re Baltimore strong, and we’re going to get through this together. And I promise: We’re not leaving."

"Indeed we believe that the first function of a sailing yacht is the aesthetics and we spent a lot of time in refining the lines during the project." - "I understood very young that to win a race you have to have the best boat, and so I started to be interested about the technology and the design of the boat." - Philippe Briand

Why were so many metro stations in Moscow renamed?

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

The Moscow metro system has 275 stations, and 28 of them have been renamed at some point or other—and several times in some cases. Most of these are the oldest stations, which opened in 1935.

The politics of place names

The first station to change its name was Ulitsa Kominterna (Comintern Street). The Comintern was an international communist organization that ceased to exist in 1943, and after the war Moscow authorities decided to call the street named after it something else. In 1946, the station was renamed Kalininskaya. Then for several days in 1990, the station was called Vozdvizhenka, before eventually settling on Aleksandrovsky Sad, which is what it is called today.

The banner on the entraince reads: "Kalininskaya station." Now it's Alexandrovsky Sad.

Until 1957, Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov ( Palace of Soviets ). There were plans to build a monumental Stalinist high-rise on the site of the nearby Cathedral of Christ the Saviour , which had been demolished. However, the project never got off the ground, and after Stalin's death the station was named after Kropotkinskaya Street, which passes above it.

Dvorets Sovetov station, 1935. Letters on the entrance: "Metro after Kaganovich."

Of course, politics was the main reason for changing station names. Initially, the Moscow Metro itself was named after Lazar Kaganovich, Joseph Stalin’s right-hand man. Kaganovich supervised the construction of the first metro line and was in charge of drawing up a master plan for reconstructing Moscow as the "capital of the proletariat."

In 1955, under Nikita Khrushchev's rule and during the denunciation of Stalin's personality cult, the Moscow Metro was named in honor of Vladimir Lenin.

Kropotkinskaya station, our days. Letters on the entrance: "Metropolitan after Lenin."

New Metro stations that have been opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union simply say "Moscow Metro," although the metro's affiliation with Vladimir Lenin has never officially been dropped.

Zyablikovo station. On the entrance, there are no more signs that the metro is named after Lenin.

Stations that bore the names of Stalin's associates were also renamed under Khrushchev. Additionally, some stations were named after a neighborhood or street and if these underwent name changes, the stations themselves had to be renamed as well.

Until 1961 the Moscow Metro had a Stalinskaya station that was adorned by a five-meter statue of the supreme leader. It is now called Semyonovskaya station.

Left: Stalinskaya station. Right: Now it's Semyonovskaya.

The biggest wholesale renaming of stations took place in 1990, when Moscow’s government decided to get rid of Soviet names. Overnight, 11 metro stations named after revolutionaries were given new names. Shcherbakovskaya became Alekseyevskaya, Gorkovskaya became Tverskaya, Ploshchad Nogina became Kitay-Gorod and Kirovskaya turned into Chistye Prudy. This seriously confused passengers, to put it mildly, and some older Muscovites still call Lubyanka station Dzerzhinskaya for old times' sake.

At the same time, certain stations have held onto their Soviet names. Marksistskaya and Kropotkinskaya, for instance, although there were plans to rename them too at one point.

"I still sometimes mix up Teatralnaya and Tverskaya stations,” one Moscow resident recalls .

 “Both have been renamed and both start with a ‘T.’ Vykhino still grates on the ear and, when in 1991 on the last day of my final year at school, we went to Kitay-Gorod to go on the river cruise boats, my classmates couldn’t believe that a station with that name existed."

The city government submitted a station name change for public discussion for the first time in 2015. The station in question was Voykovskaya, whose name derives from the revolutionary figure Pyotr Voykov. In the end, city residents voted against the name change, evidently not out of any affection for Voykov personally, but mainly because that was the name they were used to.

What stations changed their name most frequently?

Some stations have changed names three times. Apart from the above-mentioned Aleksandrovsky Sad (Ulitsa Kominterna->Kalininskaya->Vozdvizhenka->Aleksandrovsky Sad), a similar fate befell Partizanskaya station in the east of Moscow. Opened in 1944, it initially bore the ridiculously long name Izmaylovsky PKiO im. Stalina (Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest Named After Stalin). In 1947, the station was renamed and simplified for convenience to Izmaylovskaya. Then in 1963 it was renamed yet again—this time to Izmaylovsky Park, having "donated" its previous name to the next station on the line. And in 2005 it was rechristened Partizanskaya to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in World War II. 

Partizanskaya metro station, nowadays.

Another interesting story involves Alekseyevskaya metro station. This name was originally proposed for the station, which opened in 1958, since a village with this name had been located here. It was then decided to call the station Shcherbakovskaya in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a politician who had been an associate of Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev had strained relations with Shcherbakov, however, and when he got word of it literally a few days before the station opening the builders had to hastily change all the signs. It ended up with the concise and politically correct name of Mir (Peace).

The name Shcherbakovskaya was restored in 1966 after Khrushchev's fall from power. It then became Alekseyevskaya in 1990.

Alekseyevskaya metro station.

But the station that holds the record for the most name changes is Okhotny Ryad, which opened in 1935 on the site of a cluster of market shops. When the metro system was renamed in honor of Lenin in 1955, this station was renamed after Kaganovich by way of compensation. The name lasted just two years though because in 1957 Kaganovich fell out of favor with Khrushchev, and the previous name was returned. But in 1961 it was rechristened yet again, this time in honor of Prospekt Marksa, which had just been built nearby.

Okhotny Ryad station in 1954 and Prospekt Marksa in 1986.

In 1990, two historical street names—Teatralny Proyezd and Mokhovaya Street—were revived to replace Prospekt Marksa, and the station once again became Okhotny Ryad.
