    Alternator questions

    I have dual mercruiser 260's on my new to me boat. Do both engines normally have an alternator on them. I think one is bad just wondering if 1 alternator is enough to charge the batteries. Never had dual engines before so this is all new to me.

    Vin number on a trailer
