Before I spend the money ona 200 amp alt, I would spend a day going over the integrity of the current system.

Make sure all the grounds are substantial. Be certain you have a 8 or 6g ground run from battery to terminal block. All high current devices should be tied to this block.

Make sure the alternator you are currently using is operating efficiently......Use a volt meter to measure voltage at output stud, then measure voltage at battery....any substantial voltage loss will need to be addressed.

any issues are going to be exploited with the more current needed.
