As far as rpm for the alternator is concerned... automotive alternators are meant to turn lots faster than most boat motors run. Think of the abuse they get in a car... constantly getting cycled up and down through the rpm range.. much more so than on a boat application. The only side effect of too much rpm's is the brush to the rotating field will wear a little quicker and the wear on the bearings...
