All,
I'm happy to report that it was the belt. My wife and I changed it today,
started up the engine, heard no whistling and saw a healthy 14.4 volts coming
through.
Lesson learned. Change your belts

Glad to hear that, Edd. A simple fix that will last a few seasons.

Listers,
Lately, when the engine running, I’m seeing the voltage reach 13.2 tops
when it used to be much higher (13.7 to 14.0).
Is this an alternator issue or is it the belt tightness? Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.
All the best,
Edd

Gary,
There may be some signs of slippage as I often hear some squealing
during the initial startup which lasts until I change the RPMs or after 10-20
seconds. Would slippage cause the voltage to drop or would that only happen
temporarily once it’s going again?
All the best,
[Description: Description: cid:D1BF9853-22F7-47FB-86F2-4115CE0BAF2F]

Edd,
What kind of current reading do you have on each battery when charging?I've
never seen 13.7 on my boat.

Edd,
Do you have an internal or external voltage regulator (charge controller).
Regardless the alternator is probably putting out the amount of voltage
required by the regulator. Often times the voltage being supplied by the
alternator is different than that being sensed by the regulator.
Josh,
I’ll head out there this weekend (weather permitting), change the belt
(it’s been a while) and do some tests.
Since you have a 37+ too, how do you get back there to test the
alternator terminals? I’m considering adding an access port in my head so I can
get to the port
