Default High output alternator on a Bukh DV24

Hi,

Has anyone had experience of fitting a 100A high output alternator to
a Bukh DV24 engine to either replace or supplement the 50A standard
alternator?

The standard alternator belt isn't wide enough to support an
alternator over 80A. Adding a second alternator would seem the way to
go as this means that a split device isn't required and simplifies the
wiring.

Thanks,
Peter
