Mike, before you pull out the alternator you really should see if it's a wiring fault. That is very common on C900s. There needs to be a really good secure ground wire from the Alt. to the engine or chassis (lots of us do both). and either the field wire or the main cable to the battery could be loose. Check your battery cable connections at the battery and all points too. Like Brownie said, check your belts too. Changing out an alternator is kind of a PIA and there are no cheap ones (if they're any good). The regulators do crap out and you have to pull the alternator to replace it. One loose wire = poor/no charging. Good luck.
