What you need to first is run the rear engine and load the alternator as much as you can and see that it will deliver the max current, ehile measuring the voltage, make sure it keeps around 27.5. However due to the long run of the wiring from the rear eng the voltage is never stable.
How many hours has the alternator done, when was the last time the brushes were checked?


Also check the condition of the wiring to the alternator, even the ring tags get loose on the wire.

As the previous posts, it is very common on this system to have either alternator 'coast' due to load loads and the battery being fully charged, and lalt out lights flickering.

The regulator system on the 'C' model is one regulator for both alternators and a REG1-REG2 switch in the panel ensures that you have a alternate.
There is no balancing system on this system, it relies on good maintenance of the system.
