That's how it's supposed to work.
Anyway, I've just spent some time with both alternators out and like a lot of other things on this boat we find that things are not exactly the same on both sides and not the same as the original manual says they should be either.
On the starboard side the alternator was putting out too many volts and I've discovered that on that side I have an externally adjustable voltage regulator. Looks very much like this.
Anyway, some very careful adjusting with a jewelers screwdriver and the voltage is back down to 14.4 volts. Very happy now.
