The method of uncoupling the drive belt as suggested by TCM has merit, as does the suggestion to use a bigger lower speed alternator.
However, there is a big difference between coupling/uncoupling a drive belt in a field or workshop and doing the same thing on a boat in a rough sea.
When Old King Neptune is giving me a hard time, I think that I would prefer to just push a lever to engage/disengage the alternator rather than fiddling trying to refit a v-belt.
