Hi Dave, If you're getting 14.4 volts charging at the battery then your alternator diodes are okay. If that battery takes a charge then you should have it load tested before going back into the boat. There is no harm in disconnecting the propane alarm while you're away form the boat. That wi

CS's are good boats. More cruisy than C&C's and not as racy. Still sails well, though. Better interiors generally. Similar to better build quality than C&C. I had a CS27 for 5 years and loved it. CS30 is one of the most comfortable 30 footers you'll of boats in that age and price point. Cheers
