on the plug side. there should be supply voltage when the ignition is on to energize the coils in the alternator. is it a single or two wire plug?

2019 is still under warranty, have dealer drop ship it to you and install it yourself to save the hassle of taking to dealer.
If it is the 230amp, those are $$$.

I don't think you can just unbolt the battery from the alternator and start the boat. I think its circuitry requires the battery and alternator to be connected.
I will say I would replace the alternator, at idle it will put out 14V and at max output of 2000rpm it will put out 14V, the difference is the amps from idle to 2000rpms will increase.
Note - this is a reason if you jump start someone run your car to 2000rpm then have the try to start up this way you are putting out max Amperage.
So a little update got the new alternator put in and 14.1V at idle so much better!! Thanks for all the input!

I would check what that 230 amp alternator would cost to rebuild as a back up.

Just search for electric motor repair shops. Or call some HVAC companies/electrical contractors and ask about them.

Around here, we have many Automotive alternator and starter repair shops.
Lower amp alternators are likely cheap enough to replace from the auto parts store, but a 230amp is gold.
