If it has anything to do with Foley of Massachusetts, this is another
company that I wouldn't deal with. Speaking of such, the riggers agreed
after being served court papers to lower their invoice. I filed formal
complaint letters with all the associations they where they are members.

I had my dead alternator tested at an auto parts store, then jumpered out
the regulator. The alt was OK, the regulator was bad. Bought Balmar low
end multi stage for $119??, works super, has adjustable voltage and several
plans with equalization.
