Thank you everyone for the advice. So if i understand right, the batteries can only take so much charge in a given time and any extra would be a waste unless im running a heavy load while the engine is running?sounds like the only advantage is it might last longer as mikeruth said.

This is about AGM with much higher acceptance than flooded

Uptown is correct. just because a given alternator was a factory option doesn't mean the factory wire can handle it. with the alternator upgrade there very well could be a wire upgrade to go with it. highdesertranger

I'd go with the solar and FLA for the cost of AGM alone. I too have a canoe. I have a 100 watt on my hood and use an older panel leaned up against the canoe for a short absorption phase boost.
Good q about the alternator. That upgrade is specifically offered for commercial vehicles and rvs. The bigger your system the more benefit you will receive.
